Quick questions...
Can the weeklies be flashed without a wipe?
Just hate having to reset all of my custom settings mainly because it takes me a long time, and I am lazy.... :(

And anyone else having issues with enabling the Portable Wi-Fi HotSpot?
Mine won't enable as of the 2/3/17 Build date. It just says ERROR. Hoping its a fluke and the flashing the latest weekly will resolve this issue.

Any big THANKS for keeping my S4 alive! Had actually considered getting a new phone, but now I don't have too!

Great rom, I have been loving it for a few weeks now. My only issue is no audio when using facebook messenger video chat. Also I had a question. Last time I updated with the weekly update, I lost my gapps. Am I being dense? are you guys just flashing with no wipe? maybe I spaced and wiped too much.
And @ post above me

Yes you can flash without wiping. As the ROM zip has a script to auto wipe system only, (still keeping settings and such), you do need to flash gapps with the rom every update though.

Though i think its more stable if you do a clean flash (based on my last year knowledge flashing resurrection and lollipop cyanogen) but who knows. Maybe technology has fixed itself now! Been testing with no manual wipe, and beside the weird sluggishness at the start, seems to be stable.

First boot takes a while. Thats normal. Try letting it sit for a couple minutes and make a sandwich. As for the md5. Thats just an optional security check. No need to worry.

Did you update it or just reboot? Thats honestly odd.. You could try a reflash without wiping. It wont delete your apps aslong as you dont wipe internal storage.

No worries. Try wiping everything except external storage in the wipe menu of TWRP, then install octos and gapps in that order.

So, I performed a clean wipe and installed the latest nightly (2/17), which resolved most of the issues I was having (camera, button lights, notifications, etc.) However, I am still having problems with enabling the HotSpot. Every time I try to start my HotSpot, it says ERROR. This was the same issue as with the previous nightly, but it did work just fine with the previous version of this ROM (6.1).

I heavily rely on my HotSpot when working at client offices, so I am hoping the issue with the ROM and not my phone. :/
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

And thanks again for the hard work you guys put into this ROM!!

How am i to report bug reports to you guys? @manfromgta ? Ive left a bug report file, unless you guys just strictly want logcats? Multiple bugs im still experiencing on the newest (02/17) build:

Quick reply causing window behind to close.

Automatic rules for do not disturb do not come into effect.

Audiofx no longer has effect on audio.

And whatever else ive left on this thread.

Just havent heard anything from the team.. Great work though. Octos is easily better than alot of roms out.

I've seen your posts. No worries. I don't reply a whole bunch as my time is better spent on troubleshooting the issues reported. Thanks for the feedback.

Going to try this on two SGH-i337's tonight.

Just to confirm - no firmware downgrade is necessary? Both S4's mentioned are on 5.0.1.

So from my understanding -
0. backup
1. root
2. flash TWRP
3. Boot TWRP wipe
4. install rom from zip, install Gapps from zip, wipe cache, boot

@J.Naw I am seeing the foreqround app minimizing on send of quick reply. Is this new behaviour? Tbh I've never used it until now.
Been happening for the past couple updates. (Infact, since i updated to your version. Believe it was occurring on the jfltexx version as well.)

I've done a straight rom flash from lollipop without issues. If anything, an update for firmware would be good. Afaik. Not necessary though.
