Even WiFi? Others had LTE working before on I9505 ROMs but WiFi was still not working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] thatsupnow:
yeah I tried using omega rom v3 and I got it to boot but only got an error when turning on wifi
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Brava27:
Wifi works! Everything works. So smooth
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] thatsupnow:
what rom are you using big guy?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Brava27:
Top of this post! Wanam Lite!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] x.Orville.x:
so i only need to flash the rom and the modem ???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Sobai:
Flash the ROM in recovery, the modem will be retained as the ROM doesn't have a modem included, the kernel will updated to Adam's Kernel which may or may not cause WiFi connectivity issues. Personally, I've just flashed the Canadian kernel in the Original Android Development section.

Was on the fence about upgrading from s3 to s4 and this news just made up my mind.

I can confirm that my WIFI is working, and im getting radio signal via my modem. I dont live in an LTE part of my town, but based on the radio getting 4g, im pretty sure LTE is working as well. So far it was perfect flash. Telus here. Wipe Dalvik, Wipe Cache, Flash right over stock rooted phone. thumbs up to this!

After a few minutes of playing around i noticed the SuperSU binary is not working correctly. I think it has something to do with the motochopper root method vs the supersu root. I tried to update binary thru cwm and it would not work, so i flashed back for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] lordmusik:
Do you need to flash cwm for the rom or i can keep twrp???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] thatsupnow:
you can keep twrp, I'm using it with no issues at all
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Maesedroid:
Oh man, this is great info! Just wanted to know if someone in an LTE area retain the 4G Service.

Although, what would happen if ripping off the modem from Odin package in any SGH-I337M model and then flashing it to the 19505 one?

I had no issues with this ROM worked great but I'm in an area that boarders LTE so can't confirm it. I used the kernel that came with the ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] thatsupnow:
I was using omega rom v3 and it works but its kinda finnicky sometimes needs to be flashed twice to get wifi working and I can't seem to get my San disk 64 gb sd card to work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] D00lie:
I find it odd that out of everyone who flashed this there is still no one who has confirmed working lte.

I live in Puerto Rico and where I live I have LTE signal and when I flashed this rom on my i337m it doesn't show lte. it stays on 4g... back to stock
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] howipig:
Folks,

I would rather wait for the real xda geeks to extract the North American / Canadian specific modem before flashing mine with the I9505 firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ChronoReverse:
We already have the modem since the ODIN image is available. It shouldn't matter though since those ROMs aren't supposed to flash a new modem. However, the ROM might not have LTE enabled. I think I'll try it later tonight.

[edit]Here's a zip with just modem.bin (NOT TESTED):

I have LTE and Wifi working with i9505 omega 3.0 on my telus i337m. Everything is running great only thing i noticed is the camera. when you open the app a toast notification pops up saying "updating camera firmware... please wait". i can still take pics so it more of a annoyance. running the faux123 kernel

Edit - Fixed the camera issue but installing omega rom v3 let it boot. open camera. notification dissappears then i flash the i337 kernel and now everything is working great so far
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] D00lie:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Smitty7722:
so here is my step by step guide to how i got Omega v3.0 rom for the i9505 working my telus i337m with wifi, LTE and camera all working

1. Flashed Stock Firmware Through Odin (found at Sammobile.com)

2. Rooted using motochopper method

3. Installed Goo Manager (found on Play Store)

4 Install TWRP through Goo Manager (2.5.0.1)

5. Boot into recovery using Goo Manager

6. Flashed Omega 3.0 without wiping anything.

7 Let Phone Boot (waited 5-10 mins) - you will not have wifi working at this point

8. Opened Camera App and let it sit till "updating camera firmware... please wait" goes away

9. Boot into recovery again and Flashed Kernel From http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2273437

10. Tested Wifi, LTE and Camera and all are working and the update toast is still gone

Hope this helps some people. give me a thanks or PM me if you want :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] D00lie:
I did all of this except running wannam. All so far and lte is working except labelled as 4g.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Smitty7722:
so your camera isn't givinig you the status update anymore? and if you switch to "GSM/WCDA Auto" do you get 4G or H/H+?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] D00lie:
I was before I flashed faux kernel. I havent messed wity network mode whatsoever but I can confirm that the usual Rogers 4g (hspa+) is now displayed at H+ and LTE is displayed as 4G. Speed tests are the same as before for lte in my area about 18mb down and 8mb up with 1 bar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] D00lie:
Heres a shot of my networks right after flash. Defaults to correct one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Smitty7722:
if your getting the same speed thats good, if you really want to you can edit the status bar icons 4g to lte and h+ to 4g. im glad everything worked for you so far and we know of 2 i9505 roms that work good for us i337m users.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] d0nald01:
sd card works as well?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Smitty7722:
Thatsupnow has told me 64gb cards work as fat32

Currently only have a 32gb and it works perfect
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Kevin36:
which faux kernel did you use i9505 or canadian version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] D00lie:
My 16gb class10 is working fine also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Smitty7722:
Canadian
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] D00lie:
Faux canadian/at&t kernel on the main page smitty linked to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] penanogs:
Confirmed that wanamlite ROM is stable and clean. Been running the ROM just before the Victoria day long weekend with Adams kernel. Had to make a few changes, very minor ones. Formatted 64 sd card from ex fat to fat 32 for read ability. No choice. Had an issue with the security Knox message. Again easy fix. Just delete the.apk in data/data and all related files using root explorer as explained numerous times.Message will not appear again. Only other thing is 4G showing on status bar as opposed to lte but the apn is Rogers lte. All options are still there in network mode. Getting speeds of 101.2 mbs with 36 up. I live right in the core of downtown. So yeah a very good ROM for bloatware removal. It's as easy as plug and play.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] walie:
Do you see any stuttering as seen in the stock roms?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] penanogs:
If anything there is less. Need to keep in my mind the ROM is meant to kill bloatware. You are still running touchwiz. It's not CM. But it's a good ROM keeping it as stock as possible, I mean let's face it the camera interface, who would want to lose that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] niceppl:
first 4 steps can be simplified to use oden and flash the twrp tar file...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] penanogs:
Tell you the truth open up you dev options and set your animations off. That will help you with the lag, flash the ROM. Your good to go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Smitty7722:
Thanks man. Good to know. I just posted the steps I used to get it working. Im at at work so if you want to post a link to the twrp.tar file I will edit my earlier post once I get a chance.

---------- Post added at 06:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 AM ----------

Good know. You wifi is working? Did the adam kernel come with the rom. If not could you post a link? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] penanogs:
Yes, Wi-Fi working. Adam kernel comes with the ROM updated automatically. Just flash over stock ROM no need to wipe. It's a seamless install, I used TWRP. If you notice the sig, model changes from sgh 1337m to U.S. GT model. But again still need to make minor changes to sd card if you have 64 gig and delete Knox files for annoying message. If you can live with seeing 4g instead of lte on status bar it's all good. I can post up if any particular questions with install, sd card format, or deleting knox files, here to help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] chargen2:
NFC does not work after the switch, correct? I do use it frequently and that would be one issue holding me back.

Thanks so much for the info provided!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] penanogs:
Truthfully, I personally don't use nfc, but I think you are correct. I read somewhere that nfc payment wasn't working. But could not say based on using it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Smitty7722:


Im using omega v3.0 and my nfc worked for transfering but nfc payment fc's when trying to set it. Its all I have been able to test so far as I normally never use nfc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] chargen2:
With the additional confirmation from users in this thread, I thought I'd give it a go.

I installed Wanamlite and my rough notes through this process are below

Starting point:

Stock Rogers firmware that came when I purchased the S4

I had rooted using motochopper and installed TWRP a few weeks ago.

Notes from my experience:

Copied Wanamlite zip to external card (verified MD5)

Copied ATT/Canada Faux kernel zip to external card

TWRP backup

Titanium backup

backed up Titanium backup dir (for fun)

rebooted into recovery

installed Wanamlite zip from external SD card, rebooted

Camera firmware update - let it finish processing

Wifi working

had the 'app trying unpermitted actions' warning

deleted from /data/data:

com.sec.knox.containeragent

com.sec.knox.seandroid

com.sec.knox.store

Tried a speed test, 24MBps+ - LTE is working

Network mode shows LTE/GSM/WCDMA (auto connect)

APN is "Rogers LTE" ltemobile.apn

Found I had 'superuser' as well as 'supersu' installed, removed supersu, root seems to be fully functional still.

rebooted to recovery

installed ATT/Canada faux kernel

security warning reappeared, removed KNOXAgent.apk and KNOXStore.apk from system/app

tested NFC tag reading - worked successfully

Checked my location on google maps, GPS locked almost instantly.

I have had a couple of NFC payment stopped messages - don't think this is of any impact to me as I'm not aware of how I could do NFC payments in Canada anyway.

Everything else seems to be working so far. Time will tell though!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Smitty7722:
Well put. Well put. Way better than my 10 quick steps post. Very detailed. Good work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Jkell69:
good information! I tried Omega a while ago and couldn't get WIFI working.. Flashing Faux Kernel works like a charm!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] shinku:
Hey Can you test if the Rogers Name Display is working?

I flashed wanamlite last night, everything seems to be ok and this morning got a call from a number wasn;t in my phone book but it just displayed the number not the name ...so i tried the test, i deleted my work number from my contacts and called myself and it just came in as the number instead of name and number. I will investigate and see if its a build.prop or csc issue. didn't had such issue with Wanamlite room on my S2 or S3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ChronoReverse:
I'm on Virgin Mobile Canada and the T-Mobile ROMs seem to work for us.

I flashed Death Star v2.0 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2281859) and it seems to work fine so far.

LTE, wifi, bluetooth are all working "right out of box"

Also, my phone thinks it's a SGH-m919. Maybe I'll leave it that way since the T-Mo ROMs work anyway and I really don't want to deal with the LOKI vs non-LOKI ROMs in the ATT forums.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] D00lie:
Did you wipe?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sonny21:
Anyone using Wanamlite with the default adam kernel for Canadian S4 users? I am just wondering which one is better or better suited if you want battery life and performance (not overclocking).

Anyone who is using the default adam kernel, any problems with anything?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] chargen2:
I'd like to test that for you, but I'm not sure how to make a test call and I'm also not sure if I have name display as a feature on my account.

Other than calling in to check, how can generate a test call? Any ideas?

Just tried a Google Voice call and it displayed the number and California under it. Does that tell you anything?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Smitty7722:
This is the way I have done it with alot of roms on old phones. I know there is probably a easier way but this way has always worked for me. It just take some time and patience

What you need:

7Zip for the PC found here ---> http://www.7-zip.org/

Script Manager for Android found in Google Playstore

Nandroid Backup

1. open up script manager and go up until your are at the root directory of you phone.

2. go you /system/apps/ and find the file called SystemUI.apk and copy it to your extSDcard

3. Copy the SystemUI.apk and copy it to your desktop of you PC

4. Open up 7Zip on your PC and locate SystemUI.apk and double click on it

5. Inside you will see and folder called res, click and hold and drag it to desktop

6. Open up the res folder that you just made on your PC

7. Do a seach for 3g,4g,LTE....ect if i search LTE my is called stat_sys_data_connected_lte (just look at the icon on you phone and match it is the easiest way.)

8. To change H+ to 4g make a copy of the 4g icon on your desktop

9. Search for H+ and once you find it right click and rename.

10. Copy the name and paste it on the 4g icon you copied on your desktop

11. Now you have a 4g icon named stat _sys_data_connected_h_plus (or something along those lines)

12. Move the icon you renamed on your desktop into res/drawable-xxhdpi and it will replace the H+ icon with 4g

13. go back to 7Zip and drag the res folder back into the SystemUI.apk and say yes to copy over

14. Move the SystemUI.apk Back onto extSDcard

15. Open up script manager on your S4 go you setting advanced and mount system as RW

16. Copy the SytemUI.apk from extSDcard to /system/apps/ and let it overwrite.

17. Long press the SystemUI.apk and click properties

18. Set as User R-W Group R and Other R and click apply.

19. Reboot Phone

If all worked good your icon should be replaced and no fc's

Each rom my vary a bit

I hope this helps. sorry if my directions are long and hard to understand. Its easy once you changed at least one

I haven't tried that yet but i have tried the greenwiz theme and the Goa_Head Black blue transparent.

Both worked great as is, but with the black blue theme i got wrong battery reading with i flashed some custom battery mods

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] afropoet:
Hello,

What's he'd like you to test is to call your S4 from a landline and see if you see the name correctly displayed on your S4 (no strange characters).

If yes... Hurray!.

I'm curious to know if that works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] shinku:
And make sure that landline number is not saved in your contacts and if it is just delete it for this test. I tested it using my work phone and my home landline and name display didn't work. I know there is a way to fix it, just can't recall if it's the phone apk or system ui apk. I'll research and test the fix and will share what I found.

AT&T user here. Didn't really think the I9505 ROM would work for me. But I tried anyways.

Have the auto-LOKI CWM recovery and used it to flash I9505 Rootbox ROM.

I never get past the Samsung splash screen though. Oh well. :)

Just an FYI out there to others thinking of trying the same thing.

So it seems the same as 3.0... Ive been running 3.0 on my Telus 1337m now for a little while with no major issues. Did you flash it on top of 3.0? Did you debloat using omegas debloat.zip? Also what kernel are you running? Faux 003u is what im currently running with no problems on 3.0. Im just started the torrent download for omega 3.1 so I should flash in a hour or so...

Thanks

Edit: so I dirty flashed omega 3.1 on top of 3.0 and now my signal icons have changed from 4g to h and h+. What does yours say?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Maesedroid:
I always perform full wipe due posible issues with network and others. I'm using Adam Kernel. My signal icon says 4G, just remember while your phone uses proper APN for 4G it will use it, even showing H+.

here is some for omega rom and 3minit framework (free and donate versions) and ill try to keep up to date. just changed the h/h+ to 4g and 4g to lte on both. this is my frist time uploading so i hope this works for you.

uncompress and place on sd card and rename to systemui1.apk

open script manager and mount system as RW

copy apk from sd card to system app folder

scroll down and locate systemui1.apk, long press and choose properties

set as RW-R--R-- and hit apply

long press again and rename and take out the 1 so its just systemui.apk

reboot

Telus for me. The LTE comes up as 4G. But it is recieving LTE. If you all download this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=myc.phone.PhoneInfo

You can check if you are recieving LTE in the phone area.

Flash the kernel

Reboot the phone

wait 5-8 minutes

All normal no camera update warning, LTE working but marked as 4g, wifi working as well.

didn't have the courage to flash any other roms until I saw this thread i am like let's do this and i have a faster and smooth rom now been using omega since S2

Newbie here

So I'm running stock rooted rom (rogers) with TWRP. I just have to wipe and flash Wanam and thats it? :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mymusicathome:
That has to be the saving grace for this device. It is unfortunate that there are not more Canadians devs. With this AT&T locked bootloader BS I have held off from upgrading from my S3. It is unfortunate that the Task650 AOKP Rom is not supported but at least with international and T-Mobile ROM options I haven't given up on hope for the latest galaxy. Will be holding off until specs of the Google galaxy s4 are released to pull the trigger. I am aware that this will not be available in Canada but love the idea of porting nexus updates if the specs are the same.

I follow my devices categories because like a lot of us out there trying/running custom roms is a hobby. It appears that there is only about 5% of content that applies to the Canadian s4 on the AT&T category. Looks like I should be following the T-Mobile/international category and referring to the AT&T category for only root, recovery, and stock odin threads.
