4.1 Update

@Blekota
After latest 4.1 update I face following;

-Long pressing notif. toggles are not working.
-Notifications are not coming, I mean when I try with any app to push notifications nothing happens, no notifications arrive.
-Settings and expand buttons at the top right corner of notification panel are not working (both)
-Clock or date which are on the notification panel
(I thing notification panel is dead, nothing at the panel is working :S)
-HW keys are not working except back button. back button long press is not working too. I have chosen the Note 4 key layout from Aroma.
-Lock screen :) I couldn't get my lock screen. Tried lock with power button, checked settings... Then I tried to lock with Greenify. Nothing happens. Screen goes black and when I turn it on it comes without lock screen.

My v4 install was a clean install and it was working flawless :)

Damn. I did everything. Wipe, update. All was fine. Booted my phone. Restored my data using Titanium. Rebooted again. I entered my pin but it freezes. When i press to back button it vibrates but lockscreen does not go away. tried with flight mode. Lock screen doesnt go away. I am able to pull the notification bar. Switch toggles but lockscreen is always at top. I am not able to do anything. Any suggestions? May can it be releated with homescreen? I use smart launcher. Default homescreen picker issue maybe? I don't know, help please :)

I enabled the little three dot thing. Opened the camera. For one or two second, screen rotated, lock screen at half an camera on the other half. At the center, camera side, there was a FC. I cant read it :( What is the problem, why me? :D

You need to reinstall your gapps I think - you've deleted one of the google apps required for location services.

Touchwiz is now 5x5 as mentioned in several posts including the changelog you just need to resize the widgets / remove and re-add them to the home screen to fix the issue.

    (NEW) V5.3 Final (1.02 GB, MEGA, AROMA) - (MD5: 372155577674b1623b8fa90d354ef139)


    If phone won't boot after flashing the ROM, flash STOCK Kernel

    Latest Boeffla kernel is recommended for this ROM!

    Notes:
    - The modem is not included in this ROM. You will keep your current modem. To change modem this will need to be done with Odin.
    - This ROM is built for standard DPI. If you wish to change it that is fine but I don’t take requests to fix DPI issues.
    - I made this ROM for my own personal enjoyment and it works fine for me. But what works for me may not work for you. I merely put together what I like and use. If you don't like it then please don't flash it or even download it and chose another ROM.
