Wooohooo.... Wicked_X for the S4.
but I think the upload failed, still not showing up.
It's up and the md5 matches. There are some duplicate options in Phone because I ported the Note 3 Phone app because it had a bunch of extra options. For some reason it seems to be set up for a dual account. I'll fix that later. And still haven't fixed the lockscreen wallpaper from the launcher but it still works in Settings/Display/Wallpaper. Let me know if you find ANYTHING else that seems off. Thanks again for testing, you'll definitely get a mention in the OP for your feedback (and anyone else that chooses to test and provide feedback). It's not up to v8.0+ standards, but you'll find it reminiscent of the earlier versions on the S3. I haven't fully tweaked it out (only one init.d script so far), but with the 2ghz quad core processor it isn't as noticeable because the thing is crazy fast no matter what. I was mostly trying to tweak battery life (stock was horrid on battery). Here's mine on the stock battery tonight. Only a little screen on time but way better than I was getting before (I would be swapping out my battery now usually).

Probably not, as the S4 and the Note 3 are the same resolution (xxhdpi) and the Note 4 is xxxhdpi. Unless you used the batch image resizer that Thebear j Koss linked. You would also have to rename some apks most likely. But yeah we still don't have LP yet... so you would have to wait for that first.

Open source for OD1 is up on Samsung for the S4 and the 720T, and it looks like it is Lollipop.
My guess is it won't be long for the OTA's.

Ok,Keep in mind that I am on the 720T, so we will need confirmation on these.
Was able to play around with Wicked_X 9.0 for the S4 last night for about an hour before I went to bed late and woke up late. LOL

1. Clean install and let Google restore apps, Samsung keyboard worked to connect WIfi and sign in to Google, but after Google finished updating everything the keyboard started closing.
Was not getting a force close message, after clicking on a text input field it would just blink on then back off again.
Clean install today without letting Google restore apps and Samsung keyboard worked fine until I let Google update all their apps. Then it started closing again.
Rebooted after that and it has been working since.

2. I'm getting a Preparing network... notification that I can not swipe away. When I long click and get app info, it says it is SprintDM.apk.
If I clear data on it, the notification goes away until I reboot. Now my phone is hooked up to Ting and I have data turned off on Ting's end, so this could be causing the problem.

3. This is the only one I am pretty sure is not just me. When I swipe down notifications and then real quick click on the Settings or the Toggle icon, it registers as the double tap to sleep.
So Settings opens up, but it also shuts off the screen. Now I could just slow down my swipe and click, but where's the fun in that?

If you want any logs for any of these just let me know, will keep testing.

Edit: Love the KTmonitor app, that's pretty slick.
Edit2: Oh noooo, the creepy smiley guy is back.

Well I noticed I forgot a few things. I went ahead and fixed them and I think the version that is uploading is ready for release. It should be up in about 2 hours (Wi-Fi is slow but stable out here). Shouldn't be any creepy smiling guys now.

md5sum= a68c219d31d90821f0983fa40e472b03

Sorry for all the OT guys but I'm using this thread until I get something release worthy. So until I make a thread its gonna have to go here.

oh and the preparing network thing, my wife gets that on Rooted Stock (flashed Philz Recovery and rooted in that... she wanted to do it herself this time lol) so I think it has something to do with Ting and NG2. Anyways, it's easily fixed by hitting App Info after long pressing the notification, then hit Force Stop, it will restart and actually go through and finish, kind of annoying but easy to deal with.

I get that if I install a new rom on a stock phone before updating prl and profile... And sometimes when switching between roms if I don't do the prl and profile update before switching.

I'll activate the phone, then update prl and profile..... Then root the phone...... Usually within an hour of receiving it lol...

I'm on virgin mobile BTW.

That's pretty cool that your wife wanted to do it herself this time.
Since I'm on the 720T, I'm on OA3.
Tried force stopping and it never restarted.
Rebooted and it came back.
Oh yeah, in my first post I said SprintDM, but it's Samsung DM.

Tried a prl and profile update and it said it updated, but it says that even if it does not update. Did not check this time before I updated. My prl is 54023.
When I updated profile is said Preparing network, then said profile updated and to reboot phone.
When I rebooted, it still came back. :(

For me the Samsung keyboard closing has something to do with Personalization.
I did a clean install of the new version and let Google restore my apps, and the keyboard started closing again. A reboot did not fix it this time.
I installed a Google keyboard and across the top of the keyboard where it says Personalization is on. Touch for info. When I would click that a popup would open then both the popup and keyboard would close.
Toggled Personalization suggestions off then on again in settings and it started working.
In the Samsung keyboard settings I toggled Predictive text off then on again and it started working.

I can't seem to get rid of the Preparing network notification permanently.

This might have something to do with the duplicate options in Phone you mentioned, but in Settings, More networks, Auto power on/off, causes Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.

More mods

Threw together a few more mods for myself and figured i would share. First download will include all but the hidden buttons... those will be options.

The battery mods give you literally thousands of options, and the 3minit mod gives the ability to use your own if you don't like what is included.

Let's get started.

Updates and additions:
1. Fixed notification icons over lapping center clock due to my previous hidden button mod.

2. HIDDEN Status bar BUTTONS expanded and fixed

2-1. Fixed the hidden power menu in status bar double popping the menu, should pop and stay now.-
A. tap once to lock the screen
B. hold for power menu

2-2. Added home/recents/search to right corner-
A. single tap for home
B. double tap for search (opens default app in settings->my device->extras)
C. hold for recent apps
HOLD RIGHT CORNER AND CENTER STATUS BAR FOR SCREENSHOT!!!
Note: Hidden power button options are found in the options below as an optional flash.
3. Merged data and wifi icons-
Why? Less clutter on status bar.
thanks @AmniX for your guide found here
Note: Other themes will/may change the wifi icons... it'll still work, just the icons will be on the right of the data signal.

thanks @joehanh88 for your guide found here

5. Moved stock cm network indicator to the right with the signal icons... had to, to work with the rearrangment of the icons done above.
