Has anyone else had severe lag after doing the OF5 update? I prepped my phone correctly. I booted into recovery, did a factory reset and even wiped internal. Then flashed OF5 through Odin, then did another factory reset and wipe and flash OF5 again through Odin. All was well for about a week, then all of the sudden starting yesterday my phone is just starting to lag badly. Typing, swiping, texting typing is the worst. Any ideas?

Ram Leak buld.prop fix?
Settings>Accounts Too many programs 'syncing' in the bg(paused apps in the bg, even when paused, will still suck CPU if syncing to certain sources)
ro.secure.storage fix?
Freezing Connections Optimizer
Uncheck Always allow Scanning and uncheck always notify when open networks are detected(WiFi)?
could be a number of culprits.
Yeah its laggy and kills the battery quick.

It was intended for the Ram leak on the s6 but many on the note 4 have had improvements in recent apps opening quicker and overall lag. It varies with the user and model though. It works(again, user installed apps and social media apps constantly syncing to keep the most up-to-date notifications may hinder such efforts) and wont bootloop the N910P model.
The usual ro.securestorage.support=true changed to =false
(Near the bottom, meant for fixes with Shealth originally when xposed was installed, but ya never know)
@SupraFast
Also.. i forgot where i saw this, but freezing the talkback app helped a lot of users with lag. Odd i know, but many users reported it helped out as well.
I cant find the first part but i did the ro.securestorage.support part
Unfortunately I tried freezing the talkback and secure log Agent apps; still no results

i still have the OE1 update.zip from going to OB7 for a few ppl to pull the modem.bin to test it out when the OE1 crap originally began.
If there was a way, someone who knew what they were doing could possibly make something of it? but im not sure.
The only way I'd recommend going back to OE1 is using your own nandroid. Don't have one? Try factory reset on OF5. Or backup your keepsakes, wipe everything and power down, Odin or KIES the OF5 stock tar. Same method for nandroid restore; just don't wipe your backups without storing them. Lots of wipes.
There shouldn't be lag on OF5; the only change was the reactivation lock, AFAIK.
The GS5 RAM #DHA/Property fix requires all the published lines to be added because it's not native to lollipop on the Note 4. I tried it OB7 and didn't seem to be a good fit on Odexed OB7. Got similar results with L Speed Mod. To be fair to my old Odexed ROM, it was getting long in the tooth and I had crashed a few apps having issues with my PC's USB hardware not disconnecting; should've tried my own advice above before saying it didn't work so well (There was a process32 modification in /system/bin that I wasn't sure where ava when it originated from). Just swapped some borrowed deodexed OB7 files and clean installed the flash with L Speed Mod and ROM may actually be OK now but I haven't delved into settings; they're still on default with stock kernel.

The weird thing is I did backup everything, then wiped everything including internal. Then after I flash OF5 it runs fine for a few days, then the lag returns. I am on CM12.1 and I am lag free.

had my wildfire s about 4 months been rooted with stock rom for around a month.
past few days while texting it seems to be running really slow, like 3 words behind my typing.
tried slowing my text speeding but still seems to crash then wake up and type on its own.
cleared space from 22.5mb to 61mb of rom but still slow.
move apps to sd card, and ran a memory clearer in settings
no background, no fancy apps running, just Lookout security.
any help or info will be thanked?

Did you try a factory reset?
Sometimes when you flash a new ROM (usually when battery is low) it can be sluggish, a factory reset usually sorts it out....
Failing that, sounds like the dreaded lockscreen bug that plagued 2.3.3
there is a solution here somewhere, if I can find it I will link it.....
Found it, if the factory reset does not work, try this, worked for me :

My browser constantly crashes and I can't for the life of me figure out why, so I am turning to you guys for help with my first post. Here's what's up:
Within one minute of opening my browser, but often within a few seconds of browsing, the browser will crash. No dialog or anything, it just suddenly closes. Sometimes it will restore itself when I reopen it, sometimes not.
This has happened across multiple roms, including cm10(which I am on now) AOKP, Frostyjb etc. I've used all the wiping options in CWR including formating /sdcard but nothing has helped. I can't find anybody with a similar problem. Any ideas?
You didn't tell us which browser. Use a different one.

Tried all that before and tried it again just now. Seems to be a bit better for a minutes (no crashes) but within 5 minutes it starts crashing upon loading my homepage etc. It's strange because crashes of this nature never happened to me even when running highly experimental ROMs on my old Atrix 4g. Is it possible that there are some configuration files (say host files or something) that are not wiped by the factory reset in CWM and are tripping things up? I think I will try flashing a stock image using Odin (which should wipe everything on the phone, correct?) and see if that fixes things.
And I am talking about the stock browser. It's the best (usually) for me and I'm sure it shouldn't be acting like this. Chrome and firefox crash even on stable stock builds so I can't really tell from them, lol.
Flashing stock with odin would be my next suggestion.
But also, after your next flash, don't install anything. Go straight to the browser after boot and see how it acts.
Can you verify it happens on any network? 3G/4G or any wifi?

Thanks for your help and sorry to bring this topic back up, but my phone is really driving me crazy. For the past week I have experimented with Odin flashing the stock firmware on to my phone (both ICS and the recent JB) as well as constant factory resetting, but nothing changes the behavior. Using an alternative browser like Firefox (it sure has improved) results in a more stable experience, but things that use the default browser like gmail and (I think) Facebook still crash all the time. Also, the unlock screen often is unresponsive upon waking the phone, which is shortly followed by a reboot.
This behavior happens even if I do a factory reset, flash the stock firmware and boot up straight to the browser without signing in to my Google account or doing anything else. It happens irrespective of the network I am using.
I know we aren't supposed to use the repartition feature in Odin, but is there a safe way to do it or otherwise wipe everything off the internal memory leaving only the download mode so I can really start from a clean slate? I really want to rule out any software problem. The thing is, I'm getting a Nexus 4 and want to sell my sIII (it's still in mint condition) but I can't ethically do it knowing that my phone is somewhat borked. please help!!
I bought my phone new in box off of Ebay because I wanted the blue color. What a mistake. Samsung and T-Mobile are rebuffing any warranty requests I make (I didn't trip the flash counter) because I don't have a receipt. It would seem strange that this is a hardware problem as everything else works fine, but could I be wrong?. Only the default browser and apps that use it exhibit this behavior. Anybody have any ideas on what is going on??

This is the place for Q&A, general discussions, and post-installation chat about JasmineROM. Please keep your personal issues that are not related to the development, such as themes and other stuff, here.
All of the three times I flashed this rom it come up with no Status Bar, Background image and Phone apps. The first time I wiped the required partitions plus Internal Storage too. I was coming from Morom. The second time was the same except I didn't wipe Internal and I didn't flash the Xposed thing. The third time I Odin'd the stock rom and rooted it before and it came up the same. I thought maybe something was holding over from Morom that was causing it.
The Md5 for both is right. I'm a little confused because I seem to be the only one having problems. I'm beginning to wonder if there's a problem with my Sdcard. I couldn't make MultiSystem work right either.
I reformatted my card. My computer said there was something wrong. When I set it up for MultiSystem I formatted it fat32. When I re-did it just now the computer wanted to do it in exfat. Maybe it should have been exfat all along. Anyway I lost my ext4 partition. Hopefully I can get things straightened out over the weekend.
Update: That fixed it.

Runs FANTASTIC. I am really happy with it. I have it skinnied down quite a bit, I've frozen about 100 apps. When I clear cache, I "optimize" about 240 apps, whereas out of the box it was well over 300.
Between WLD, Greenify, ES Task Manager doing its optimzations, and my own pruning/tweaking (overclocked/undervolted, thanks to hsbadr's kernel and Synapse), I'm getting insanely good battery life and ridiculous performance, while retaining all the tweaking I'd gotten used to on KK,... I am running a dozen or so xposed modules without issue.

Hey is there any way you can elaborate a bit more on how you optimized your battery life?
I was on definitive 4.4.4 not too long ago getting an average of 5+ hours on screen time. Moderate to heavy usage. Which I thought was pretty good.
After installing this rom (which it runs amazing) I've noticed my battery life running a bit shorter. Screen on time is 2h 30min at 26% right now. 14% of my overall usage right behind #1 "Cell standby" at 16% and Android OS at 6% and android system at 5%.
I've only been running this rom for several days so far. I don't think it's something I've installed, or at least nothing that wasn't on kitkat. I'm on wifi a lot and barely use data. Battery Doctor says I have 45 power issues to optimize if that means anything.
I use greenify, clean master and battery doctor. Along with tasker to shut off mobile data when connected to wifi and a few other things (I'm still trying to learn it).
I also went through permissions and stopped a bunch of apps from checking locations and autoruns.
Any suggestions would help thank you! Battery life is the one thing I wish the note 4 was better with haha

It turns out that "Cell standby" is the issue, at 31% as I write this. Under 30min on screen time. It drained my battery by over 40% over night! I tried searching several threads, it seems this is a common issue. None of the 8+ threads I found had a solid answer, mostly theories that don't work for most. Please post a link if I have missed a solution somewhere!!

Is there a way to get Android Pay to work on this ROM?
I've been using Google Wallet for tap to pay with no issues but it just updated to Android Pay which doesn't seem to work with root. I've tried all the workarounds I've found including disabling root but it's still not working, would that be because I am using your ROM? Is there any way to get it working in this ROM?
@hsbadr on the AOSP build, after restoring some apps with Titanium backup and rebooting, I lost data again. Tried rebooting and toggling some settings but it's still gone. Why is it so hard to keep data connected on Verizon with AOSP ROMS?

I can't get LTE to turn back on. I've toggled it back and forth, and rebooted it several times. I had this problem with AICP v 8 (or 9, can't remember) a few weeks ago.
What fixes (bolded above) did you try, @gcounts? I did the OG5 safe upgrade over a month ago before installing Jasmine 3.0/3.1. After trying AICP 8/9 a few weeks ago and not having luck with Titanium Backup or mobile data, I did a factory reset in TWRP and reinstalled Jasmine 3.1. This morning, I did a factory wipe in TWRP (several times for good measure), and flashed the AICP rom and Gapps. I rebooted to Download mode from TWRP, and flashed the OG5 modem in Odin. At completion, the phone rebooted to AICP. I had LTE data at this point.
1st boot: I had LTE data before starting the initial setup... Upon completion of initial setup, I was on my home wifi, and installed Titanium Backup. I started restoring my 300+ apps, when it got hung on the 3rd one. I rebooted. At this point, I was at work, and did not have wifi to fall back on.
2nd boot: I had LTE data when it rebooted. I started Titanium Backup again, and it got hung up. I tried installing the app that was hung up from the Play Store, and the Play Store would skip downloading, and go straight to "Installing" status, and would hang there. Weird. I know I had LTE at this point because I could search and find results in the Play Store. I rebooted.
3rd boot: It booted, and I had the exclamation point by the signal (no LTE/data). I let it sit for a while, and it said LTE at some point... but I still couldn't search in the Play store. It would tell me I wasn't connected. I rebooted.
4th boot (and several following): No LTE/data connection. I toggle it on/off, wait several minutes... nothing.
Does any of that help to narrow down my issue?
@hsbadr - Do you have an idea of why some of us are having data problems? And... does your custom version with more Verizon tweaks have any hope of addressing this issue?
Thanks

1st boot: I had LTE data before starting the initial setup... Upon completion of initial setup, I was on my home wifi, and installed Titanium Backup. I started restoring my 300+ apps, when it got hung on the 3rd one. I rebooted. At this point, I was at work, and did not have wifi to fall back on.
2nd boot: I had LTE data when it rebooted. I started Titanium Backup again, and it got hung up. I tried installing the app that was hung up from the Play Store, and the Play Store would skip downloading, and go straight to "Installing" status, and would hang there. Weird. I know I had LTE at this point because I could search and find results in the Play Store. I rebooted.
3rd boot: It booted, and I had the exclamation point by the signal (no LTE/data). I let it sit for a while, and it said LTE at some point... but I still couldn't search in the Play store. It would tell me I wasn't connected. I rebooted.
4th boot (and several following): No LTE/data connection. I toggle it on/off, wait several minutes... nothing.
Does any of that help to narrow down my issue?

Do you have an idea of why some of us are having data problems? And... does your custom version with more Verizon tweaks have any hope of addressing this issue?

Apparently, your issues are mainly due to restoring apps or device ID via TitaniumBackup app... Report them to the app developer & don't use it for now!
As for flashing the modem via Odin, you may skip it or test different modems. However, this build is only tested & supported if you follow the instructions here.

Thank you so much for AICP!!! I flashed last night according to your instructions, had a little trouble with mobile data, but after trying the fixes and rebooting, data finally sticks. All I can say is I'm loving the ROM. Everything is working perfect so far, data, GPS, calls, mms, Bluetooth.... Wow its a whole new life for my n4...thank you @hsbadr

You're welcome. Glad I could help!
Hey everyone. I am having random reboots and freezes. I was originally on a stockish OB7 rom. I decided to flash to the Alliance ROM but, I was having some issues. So I flashed stock OB7 through odin 3.07. Used CF-Auto Root. Then chilled. I started getting random reboots all day. About that time the OE1 came out so I thought skip it i'll just roll stock for a while but, low and behold some where in the update it got messed up and I lost my dialer and my camera. So then I essentially had no phone which, has caused me to have to use my wife's old Iphone, which pains me beyond belief. Because of OE1 not having a TAR I could not flash the ROM to fix it and I didn't want anything else random or crazy to happen so I waited for something with a TAR. So I flashed OF5 and still got random reboots and freezes that cause my phone to not turn on and I have to remove the battery to get it to power on. So, now I'm on OG5. It runs great but, still random reboots and freezes and won't turn back on . I can deal with a few random reboots but, I can't deal with the freezing and the phone not coming back on. Does anyone know the cause of this issue and are there any fixes? I have searched high and low. I have been flashing for a while so I know the steps there. Just looking for some help from the group. Thanks. Sorry for the long message I just want to try to be clear. Thanks again. I appreciate any help given.

Yep. Multiple times. Have odined numerous times. Wiped Cache. All that.
Odin og5
Beginning to sound like something wrong with the phone, if I'm understanding what you have reported the problem is president across wipes and Odin installs of 3 different versions of lollipop.
Did you ever change kernels?

I really hope not. I hope that it will work it self out. I had a lot of trouble with OG5 when it came to Odin but, it did eventually take. If there is something wrong with the phone itself what could it be? I feel like I have read everything from freezing when changing towers, to damaged partitions, SD card issues, needing a new battery. I just hope it all pans out.

No I never changed Kernels on any of the ROMS. I would assume because they are stock they should be okay. Especially OG5 .tar file. It should have had everything.
Hello! Pretty new in XDA forum and I have a couple of questions and concerns. I was browsing through some threads and I was wondering if I could get some opinion/help from other members.
I have a second phone that I want to mod and I need some help.
Device: Samsung Galaxy S4 (ROOTED)
Model#: SGH-M919
Android Version: 4.4.4
Baseband: M919UVUFNK2
It's an old phone and lately, it's been running really slow and if possible, I'd like to make it run as if it was brand new or at least somewhat close. So the question is, are there any recommended stable roms/mods I could use and if there are/is, will I be able to use it with my rooted phone or do I have to completely factory reset it before I apply the mods/roms?
Thank you!
Hi @Mr.LinK,
Just yesterday I finally got sick of my M919 slow/battery drain/old stuff and decided it was time for a reset. I was running SlimKat from over a year ago and while it was a great ROM, I had accumulated so much crap that it was getting really bogged down. This just happens over time no matter what OS, no fault to Slim. But I was also looking to move to Lollipop. Here's what I did:
1. Backed up using several methodologies (full backup with TWRP just in case, then from Android I backed stuff up with Helium, and used Backup My Mobile for SMS/MMS etc., an EFS backup just in case, etc..)
2. From within Android, did a factory reset. This sent the phone into recovery, and it formatted the data partition.
3. Rebooted to recovery again, and used TWRP to manually format the media section, just in case something was left there. Then wiped everything except the external SD.
4. Used ODIN to flash the OH3 firmware onto my MDL M919, without letting reboot after (unchecked the reboot checkbox). Pulled battery, rebooted back into download mode again, and flashed OH3 a second time... this gets around some instance people have reported about incomplete upgrades of firmware and all sorts of issues... better safe than sorry.
5. Let phone boot into now 100 % stock OH3 Android 4.4.4. YEEEUKKK. Some part of me thought I would just root the thing and get rid of Samsung crapware, but just the sheer annoyance of the T-Mobile boot animation was enough to remind me why I left stock long ago. Anyway, I let it boot, and set it up minimally with just 1 Google account, not restoring from backup. To my surprise it found the ATT network (I'm an ATT user, not T-Mobile... I just prefer T-Mo phones because they have unlocked bootloaders) and APN no problem no effort from me. Usually I have to enter an APN.
6. I tested the phone out to make sure all systems were working. GPS, WIFI, Bluetooth, etc.. To my surprise, first time I ran the camera app, it applied a firmware patch. Sweet. I'm glad I went through this step. Coming from ancient MDL, I figured there might be some kinks like this. I let it sit on stock for a few hours while I did stuff with my kids.
7. Back home, I did a factory reset from within Android. Then I flashed the latest TWRP tar file (2.8.7.0) using ODIN, and in TWRP did a full wipe of everything again.
8. At this point I flashed Danvdh's GPE edition of Lollipop from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539361
Installation went smoothly. It's a very basic set of apps that it comes with (Google play is there, but you have to download email/messaging apps from the store such as Gmail and Messaging, Maps, etc). I like this approach!
I've been gradually setting things back up, and am very happy with things so far. Haven't run into any problems yet. The nice pure GPE android experience is refreshing.
@Frankenscript Thanks for the information. I was reading the linked thread and it looks really good so I'll give it a try

I just completely flashed my phone with the ROM and I'm pretty happy with the outcome. No bloatware feels so nice. I've been tinkering with it for a while now and I haven't encountered any problems so far but I did notice that model number changed to GT-I9505G. I'm assuming that's normal since the rom is based off of another variant which makes sense, correct me if I'm wrong. Will this complicate future updates or other rom installation? If so, are there any ways of reverting back to the original model number?

I'm pretty sure we can change the reported model number by modifying the build.prop file. I just haven't poked around with it yet... I did ask the question in the thread and am waiting for a reply. I haven't had to do this kind of thing for over a year, and I forget the build.prop key that does it. But I had some concern that it might bork something else down the road so I decided to wait a bit. IT's just a cosmetic thing and I'm SOOO enjoying the experience right now.
Two little things I'm still fishing around for answers to:
-In the drop down quick access menu, I wish there was a sound/vibrate/mute toggle. I can make one with PowerToggles but maybe there's a way to adjust what's in the native one.
-Really silly, but the power off button when pressed just seems to ... power off the phone!? No option for restart / recovery. Maybe there's an option to set this somewhere; haven't checked.
Still, these are all minor things to sort out. Really, I think I'm very sold on GPE editions now thanks to Danvdh's work.

Just an update, my phone just rebooted twice in the last 5 mins or so. Was watching on my netflix and it randomly rebooted. Any idea what's causing it and how to prevent it from happening?

Haven't seen random reboots. I think I got maybe one reboot since installing the ROM. Then again, I haven't put NF on the phone. I do know that Netflix app had some issues on my Shield tablet, and the manufacturer (Nvidia) came out with a patch... maybe it's something general in Lollipop?

Both if those can be fixed with Xposed modules.
