Ascending Ringtone Question - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have searched all over and cannot find a solution to my problem. I want to disable the ascending ringtone "feature" on my rooted Note 4 (SM-N910T) running 6.0.1.
I have tried the app in the store for this, but it doesn't meet my needs.
When I had my Note 3 I remember I had to edit the phone apk. The method has apparently changed, as in my system/priv-app/ folder I have a "Telecom.apk" and a "Teleservice.apk". The process I remember and various ones I have searched out mention editing "SecPhone.apk", which I don't see anywhere.
I have also tried various xposed modules that offer this option, all to no avail. Possibly due to these apk differences?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I've forgotten any pertinent info that would help find the solution please let me know.

REQ: Newest OTA S Health OTA

I just recently installed "Goldeneye" ROM on the AT&T Galaxy S4. Its a very nice rom that I enjoy a lot, however I do miss the S-Health application. I have found the APK for 1.5.2 - the version that ships with the Galaxy S4 - however this version does not work on my phone (the pedometer does not seem to work correctly - It keeps resetting back to 0 steps every once in a while, effectively making this pedometer function (a function I greatly enjoy) useless.
The updates Samsung has pushed out since this original version had fixed the issue, however I cannot find the APK or updates for this anywhere. Does anyone have the updated APK by chance? I would great appreciate it!
Thank you.
Easiest way to find it is to download and pull it from one of the ROMs that hasn't removed the Samsung Apps. There are several in the forum that still have them.

[Q] ls980 white lines issue

Hi!
I'm having the white lines issue trying to use my ls980 on a AOSP-based ROM, and from what I've read in forums, the Cloudyfa Bootstack (LS980-bs-cloudy.zip) file will fix that for me. Unfortunately, it seems to have been removed from the file host linked in the forums. Is there any chance that anyone has a copy of it they could mirror for me? Thanks!
I am currently using ParanoidAndroid 4.2-BETA3, and I would like to update it, but any newer version has this issue.
All other custom roms I've tried don't seem to have functional GPS.
Anyone?
I don't have the post count yet to directly message the author or even post in the relevant thread.
The developer has posted an updated kernel, issue fixed.
However, now, all music players seem to not play music.
I tried with 3 different music players.

[Q] headphone distortion on MDL

I have a rooted version of MDL that I am happy with, other than distortion on the headphones. I understand this was resolved on later ROMs, as described elsewhere. (Sorry, I can't add the link since this is my first post.) I am not feeling the need to flash a new ROM, maybe because I have never done it before. I am, however, very comfortable modifying the Linux file system on my phone. I am a professional software developer, and have years of experience with Unix. What are the recommendations for resolving this? Is there an APK that I can side load, or am I stuck flashing a new ROM. If the latter, which ROM is recommended? I also have the Xposed framework installed, if anyone is aware of a module that resolves this problem. I did search the forums, but did not locate any references. Feel free to point me at another thread that discusses a resolution to this problem.
Thanks,
Eric

[PLEASE HELP] MMS Issues on JFLTEVZW KK RC-3 dev

This seems to be an issue on any CM-based ROM I use, but I really like PAC and the features it has so this is especially troubling to me.
I am on a VZW Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545, I545VRUAMDK baseband) with TWRP recovery, ktoonsez kernel 3.4.104.
Every time I install a CM-based ROM I cannot ever send or receive MMS messages through Hangouts, or any other messaging app.
When I look at Mobile Network Settings and check Access Point Names from within the system settings menu, I see Verizon APN info. The one I have enabled currently is the default VZWINTERNET one.
However, when I go into Hangouts and check my APN info there, I see APN entries for Sprint and MetroPCS. I cannot change any of them, I cannot add any of my own, I cannot manually input Verizon APN info, because they don't ever save. I can delete them all and render my phone unable to send or receive anything, but recover them by restoring default.
It's because of that fact that I believe that this is due to the ROM itself.
I first noticed this a year ago when I was using CM 10 and 11 release candidates, after CM switched to unified builds instead of carrier-specific ones. Since then I've flashed other ROMs like Dirty Unicorns and the like, and the ones that are based off the CM Unified builds always carry the Sprint/MetroPCS APNs in Hangouts.
This prevents me from ever sending or receiving MMS messages from anyone regardless of carrier of origin.
I've tried apps and tweaks to resolve this, but nothing works. The only thing that ever does is switching to a non-CM core ROM, but I like the feature-rich PAC-ROM the most.
Does anyone know of a definitive way of resolving this issue? A hack? A manual change to the system files?
I tried running a search of XDA, as well as good old fashioned Google, but all I can ever find are blog posts with suggestions and "definite" fixes that never work.
At this point I am a little desperate for help. Every time I've posted a help thread, be it here, the S4 official subforum on XDA, or Reddit, or the PAC forums, I get nothing, not a single reply.
I cannot be the only one who has been experiencing this.
Please advise.
Thank you,
I am experiencing this too, and APN settings dont seem to help.

More Volume Steps?

Anyone know of any way to change the amount of volume steps for media? I was previously using an Xposed module for it but Xposed doesn't work for Marshmellow yet. I've found a few guides, but they don't apply to anything after Lollipop because of how Lollipop changed the structure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
