Hi I've done a clean install on i9505 jfltexx and NFC's not working. I've put on latest weekly and latest micro opengapps, I can launch Android Pay but there's no tap. I've installed loads of different NFC tools and tried to read contactless cards, RFID alarm tags and another NFC phone but my phone just doesn't acknowledge them. I've tried several different batteries known to work with NFC, so I'm stumped. I saw a really brief message on a reddit post there's an NFC issue but that's about it, can anyone else help?
Also cannot adjust brightness at all, can move slider but no effect, another reddit post says there's a potential problem anyone else know what the issue is and how can I help resolve it if it's a rom issue?
Thanks
Clean install of WHAT?
LOS, sorry I thought that would have been obvious?
Flash the latest stock rom. If everything works under the stock rom, this indicates a issue with the custom ROM.
All the links to stock ROM took hours to download so haven't had chance yet but I have tried resurrection and mi ROMs last night and both issues show up too. I'm interested to know if anyone is using NFC on lineage with success on 9505?
Then try one of the custom TouchWiz ROMs. It's the closest you'll get without having to wait hours.

Hey guys,
I'm currently using OzcanRom and it's just great - strongly recommended!
My only issue is exactly the same issue as described in this post:
I'm facing a very strange problem as i'm unable to switch on my bluetooth... last week only i rooted my phone and installed CWM recovery...then i installed Custom Rom's like Hassan ROM, Omega ROM, Cyanogenmod 11 Rom, Pacman ROM etc etc just to check various Rom's and their features out.....At first i installed only one ROM at a time and den also dual booted two ROM's by romswitcher...While i was checking my phone once i discovered that my phone's Bluetooth is not turning ON...The toggle is only becoming light green and also from the settings its only showing turning Bluetooth On but it's unable to turn bluetooth On.....Now i googled my problem and read across various forums for solution...I tried various things also flashed my firmware to stock samsung but still bluetooth does not turn On...also i flashed with stock samsung firmware of feb and march 2014 and updated my phone over OTA but still the problem persists....i even installed latest perseus kernel while rooted but still could not turn my bluetooth ON.
I would be very grateful if someone can help me solve my problem and help me Switch ON my bluetooth as it is very needed aspect for my daily use.
My Version of S4 is i9500 with android kitkat 4.4.2. Also all my other features are working normally on custom ROM's too.

I too installed this Omega rom at some point and once I did that these problems started.
A user in that thread posted a reply in which he uploaded a file which he claims fixed his problem.
I really need my bluetooth to work again and would love to flash this file using Odin if it would fix the problem
BUT
I have no clue what implications flashing this file can have, can it mess other things up? I've spent the last four hours setting things up again in my new ROM and I would hate to have to do it again or even worse, cause some unsolvable problem with my phone.
I assume some of the developers here could help me out - should I run it?
Thanks!
Is anybody else getting this bug where if you try to set a PIN on the lockscreen, it won't stick and it will revert to swipe?
I am using SIM PIN if that's a problem but does anyone have a solution because it worked fine on AOSP Lollipop and this bug happens across every TW Lollipop rom I've run so far.
Sorry sir, not having the issue. Did you a full wipe? Sorry if I offend, just trying to troubleshoot a little.
yes!
I too happen to have this issue, and whats even worse is that am confronting this bug on the official lollipop 5.0 release, other issues am also dealing with are:
1. The SD card keeps unmounting itself.
2. Some files on my SD card just vanished (PS: they were in a folder called 'backup', just thought to mention that if it would have mattered)
3. The battery life isn't that great either.
so yeah am kinda suffering here, IF you had gone through any of those and managed to fix it, please do let us know. thanks in advance.
Hi,
I have a Canadian Note 3, it is rooted and has a custom recovery on it. I used to have the Tweaked ROM which worked perfectly even the GPS. I have tried to switch over to many different ROM's and even unroot and go back to stock but the GPS does not work in any of them. However if I re-install tweaked rom the GPS starts working again. I have tried various different fixes i could find, some have no effect and some put me in a boot loop. I would really like to try different ROMs and I need GPS to work. Anyone come across this problem or have a possible solution?
Thank you
Do you at least go out of the house to test gps ? Many don't...
Yes, I went outside and drove around for 10 min and then stood in a single place for another 10 and put the phone near the windshield, but still nothing!
Is this Tweaked rom based on S5 firmware ?
If so, there is a thread on how to make gps work if coming from S5 based roms.

No I don't think it is the S5 firmware based. It is the version before that (TweakenN3)
If anyone encounters the same problem, I installed Lean Kernel and that fixed the GPS issue.
Hi
I have international S4 (i9505) and I have tried various roms and every time I end up with some kind of problem, I used one on 4.4.2 and it had connectivity issues, then I tried 1 on 5.0.1 and it started rebooting every few hours, then installed one named optimized cyanogen 12.1 and it says bluetooth crashed over and over.
So the question is can anyone recommend a rome without any of those problems? and dont do anything special on my phone, mostly whatsapp, some online games and music nothing more, but want bluetooth and everything to work.
Ay help?
Thanks
If you don't want to deal with problems, go back to stock and root that.
Even stock has problems.
You should understand that each phone is different, even if it's the same model. Meaning that even if somebody suggest a rom that works perfectly for that person, it might not work for you.
With this in mind I can suggest to you the rom I've been running for a few months and works great for me: Resurrection Remix with alucard kernel.
And if you don't want whatsapp audio issues, go into developer options and enable AwesomePlayer.
one question, what does the kernel affect in the ROMs stability?
right now I´m on Cianogen and it hasnt shown problem, for now at least

Hi @totopesce,
I'm currently using the latest version of a ROM called Dirty Unicorns. I've had little to no issues with it. It's AOSP based, it's nice and light and very customizable.
It's trail and error with custom ROMS really. I was hoping from ROM to ROM for a long time before I eventually settled on Dirty Unicorns. It's your own taste at the end of the day.
Good luck with the search!

Want to find a fix to all custom ROM's bootlooping on my SM-J320FN (did not bootloop before)
[
or alternatevly, i was wondering if modifying a some samsung galaxy SM-J320[something] nougat rom, to work on SM-J320FN would be possible (it has only android5.1.1 (lollipop) stock rom as far as im aware and i have searched quite a lot).
]
The thing is, i have the SM-J320FN (twrp and rooted) and for a while i ran various custom roms (based on nougat) on it with no problems. But then about a year ago it bootlooped on resurrection remix (which i had ran with not many problems for 1/2year). Then every custom rom (i tried RR, DotOS, ViperOS and more) began to give me a bootloop, only flashing the stock rom booted.
I wiped and formated everything i could, tried same country stock rom that i had originally and a different country one (thinking maybe the custom roms were not happy with something inside the stock rom that it was flashed after, but logically it does not seem even possible, as before flashing the custom one, the old one is wiped), but custom rom's just did not boot anymore. I could not log the boot either because it had boot animation but nothing showed in adb, i guess it did not get so far that it could connect with adb.
I suspect this may be caused by my camera not working (some hardware part most likely got damaged), because i think wiping my phone completely and flashing stock rom with Odin should restore every software part on the phone thus it would have to be something with hardware that's causing custom roms to bootloop, how else could the problem persist (i obviously might be wrong).
I don't remember when exactly the camera stopped working but i know for a fact that i had a custom rom at the same time, and it did not bootloop (for some time at least) and im also curious why this has not ever stopped the stock rom from booting if it is the case.
So basically what i wish i could do are two things. Firstly find what makes the stock roms able to boot correctly opposed to the custom ones. And secondly implement this to a similar models higher version rom or a custom rom (Nougat). Come to think of this, it seems a useful step to look how did the people that made these Nougat based rom's for SM-J320FN modify the rom so that it could run on it, the source code is open after all.
Why i want to have a higher android version on my phone? Because my countrys corona close contact detection app supports only 6.0 or higher and my banking app recently notified me that they will soon end support for my android version too (this is the real pusher for me as i use it very frequently and there is not really an alternative). And it would be nice to have some other apps too, that not compatible with Lollipop.
And yes, i know, just buying a newer phone would solve all my problems But im a minimalistic (and without money) person. The fact that i own a phone that is still working (or fixable) stops me mentally from buying a new one. Also as one would guess, i like tinkering with this kind of stuff (i study CS currently) and building a rom myself for my phone sounds like a cool and challenging project, as i have not done anything like this before (maybe this will help me: [guide]how to build/modify roms for samsung devices [7.0/6.0.1/maybe more]).
Anyways, i kinda got carried away with this post. But for now im tired and have to sleep so i'll just post this and will come back later to read this over, fix some mistakes (not a native english speaker) and add things i maybe missed.
If anyone read this through, im impressed and if you have the knowledge/time to answer then i Thank You in advance!
i need help i tried to install re dreaux but my phone bootloop on touch wiz custom rom so how can i fix that
