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.

Thanks for your help.
Is everything working here

Just wondering can the app drawer icon on the home screen be changed, in something like xposed framework.
I don't want to use another launcher, I'd like to keep stock.
I'm going for a total black and white theme.

Hi guys, I want to report a little bug that I found in this rom

Hey folks, I hope I got the right section for my question:
Do someone know any ROM Based on Android Marshmellow, which inkludes a funktion to swap the hardwarekeys "back" and "menu"? So, I think since Lollipop, Android swapped these buttons and I can just not habituate with that!
Everyone is crying about FP and laser autofokus, but no one inkludes this small function. Yes the most ROMs allow to give the menu/recents button some options to change, but I want the BACK button at the right and the MENU button on the left and holding home for RECENTS.
I've tried so many ROMs on different states, but never found that function.
Well, maybe you guys know such a ROM, where the funcion is included and if there never was one I would appreciate it if someone would inklude this in future ROMs! THANK YOU!
Oh btw. the latest version with that function I've found is the RAZOR fix from jan'16 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/development/official-5-1-1r24-t3225913), but this is still Lollipop and comes with some bugs for me. Their official website is still down for me, I can't get more information.
Hi.
I urgently want to use 2 specific app-windows side by side (musician-apps . live_bpm and drummers_metronome). Sadly both apps are not capable of this. I have the stock android v. 6.01.
Therefore I tested CM13 et voila - split-screen for the above two apps works flawlessly! So whats the problem?- One other feature that I
strongly want/need... in the stock rom (live-HDR in Camera and a few other camera-features) is now NOT working in CM13 because of missing camera2-api (at least this is the error-message in camera-app)
I found a possible solution myself - download the apk's, decompile and edit the manifest.xml. This should work, but I found no way to download the apks - both are legally purchased by me. The second way, to contact the developers, was wasted. _Both didn't reply.
Any idea how to achieve both features? Perhaps any different rom?
Solved!
I still don't know an exact answer to my question, but have found a solution: Newest Resurrection Remix Rom has multi-window-mode for every app (not only those who are made for this option as in stock-marshmellow...) AND realtime-hdr. I'm happy.
Hey guys, this is my 1st post so if I'm doing anything that I'm not supposed to or posting in the wrong area, please say so.
Ok, so, I used to have Android phones back in the day, since 2.2-2.3, then 4.0-4.4 and still used custom roms to update my mom's Moto G 1st Gen, from 4.4 to 7, but I manly used iPhones ever since 2012 and the easy jailbreak life made me kind of lazy - all of the process of jailbreaking and installing tweaks was very easy.
Now I'm back into the Android world with a Moto G4+ and I've already unlocked the bootloader and installed a few of the available custom roms, but none of them were actually stable enough to use in a daily basis so I got back to the stock rom.
Now I'm downloading LineageOS (that's the rom I also used to upgrade my mom's phone) and I got a few questions about it (since I can't post them on the official thread):
- can I enable the notification LED?? I can't do that in the stock rom but it worked really fine in the cypherOS rom.
- is there any option to disable the soft keys and use the fingerprint sensor as these buttons?? I mean, some kind of gesture, like the VirtualHome tweak in iOS, when a touch equals to home, a double tap to multitask etc. Just saw that the G5 will have some gestures in the FP sensor that will replace the soft keys, so a port of this feature would also be good.
- is this rom already rooted or do I have to install something else??
- is xposed working?? I actually found one article about it in the G4 but it was for MM and then I didn't find anything about it in N.
Sorry for my dumb questions, I swear I was going to read all of the official thread but when I was in the 9th page I saw that there was 294 total pages and then I gave up. :crying:
[EDIT]

OK so, answering my own questions (at least a few):
- the LED is enabled by default I'm in heaven;
- THERE IS a default option to use the FP sensor as home button AND another one as to place multitask screen to show up by double pressing the home button. With this two options I am able to use the FP sensor at it's full potential (in my humble opinion) BUT as you can see in the images I am able to hide the softkeys only in a few parts of the system, it still shows up when you pull down notification center and also when you open up the keyboard. It's very annoying. I guess this question is still up.
- I think it's rooted by default thank you very much.
To your xposed question: no, there's no xposed for nougat out yet

It won't come back. If you mean a screenshot where you see "themes", then it is with substratum. Themes appears in settings after installing substratum. It has nothing to do with CMTE.
