Hey folks,

I'm thinking about to build a ROM for people that use their Nexus 7 in their car.

Actually a ROM build for a built-in Nexus 7.

Does anybody like this idea? If yes,

- Should this rom be AOSP, Paranoid Android, PAC, Cyanogenmod, AOKP, ... based?

- Which apps should be included? (ODBTorque, OTA Updater, Navigon, ...)

All ideas are welcome!
[Nexus 7 General] rebel1699:
If you do, there are alot of things to consider. the biggest, being otg host mode charging. A few more are usb dac drivers, landscape-able media players, modded shortcuts for easily accessible volume control..... There is actually alot more than most would suspect. Not to mention the issue of correct sleep/wake modifications.

All that said, I hope you do carry through with this, as it will be alot of work. Timur has a rom "USBROM" and kernel which provide all these things, and is geared primarily towards in dash and other fixed install options. You might give it a good study to get ideas on how to proceed with your own creation.

"What do you tell a man with two black eyes? Nothing. He has already been told twice."
[Nexus 7 General] spotmark:
Why not just use a car app? My personal favorite is CarHome Ultra.
[Nexus 7 General] rebel1699:
Because if it is a fixed install in which the charger port is not accessible, then just an app wont get it done. Especially if you intend to use things like odb, usbdac (which is crucial in a dash install), and other external components.

"What do you tell a man with two black eyes? Nothing. He has already been told twice."
[Nexus 7 General] Kuchar09:
Take a look at Timur's USB ROM if you have not already. I believe that's what most of us are using since he has implemented some amazing things like otg while charging and even fast charging while in otg mode!
[Nexus 7 General] Wilks3y:
To the above, I think this is the ROM I had in mind.

I was going to say theirs a dev already working on a Car Dedicated ROM, perhaps the OP could help contribute to that? Get a really unique and useful CAR ROM made?

(5/23): Just to clarify, this doesn't unlock the bootloader as previously thought, it just helps ROM/kernel/recovery developers bypass it:

thats a huge middle finger to verizon lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rushless:
And 32gb as well!! Not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fu5ion:
check out foldermount. might help with the pain of the smaller storage size. basically moves data to the external SD, but leaves a symlink on the internal so that apps, etc that point to that directory can still access the files. obviously not the same as a larger internal storage, but at least it helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tokuzumi:
I didn't figure it was going to take long for the phone to be rooted, and custom recoveries/roms installed. It didn't take long for the GS3 to fall to the modding community.

Once you root, NO MORE OTAS!!!!

People will read that, and still do it anyway, and well, that's on them.

This is the best news I've heard related to Verizon in a long time.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
I'm going to try out stock for at least a few days. I'm coming from a DINC2 running CM7 in preparation for this. It's going to be a nice boost in every regard, I think.

The lure of root is tough to beat, though. I've only ever had HTC smartphones, so I've been used to waiting a month or two for root. This might be tough.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yyhd:
this is awesome. super excited!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ericerk:
i hear vz's s4 shipped with a root patch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] open1your1eyes0:
Unfortunately so, it looks like Verizon had time to upgrade to the new secure kernel (same as Sprint's latest OTA). And now we all know why they wanted to take that extra month.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] StolenVW:
Yeah only nice thing is with the bootloader unlocked and a custom recovery I don't think it will be long before custom rom/kernel will be out that can be rooted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] open1your1eyes0:
According to one post all you do is open the kernel and change a 1 to 0, repack it and it removes the security. Now we just need a good kernel dev. :good:

Kinda makes me want to cancel now... I hate this vz Bull SHIFT
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] open1your1eyes0:
Don't worry, the disabling of the security is just a simple change from a 1 to 0 (no joke). All we need is a good kernel dev here to help us out and rooting should not be a problem (just have to remember not to take OTA afterwords until the updated kernel is modified the same way).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ericerk:
Yay Binary!!

Maybe the Odin file that Sex tape leaked might help... if its uploaded yet...

http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=237
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] open1your1eyes0:
Absolutely! We either needed a dump of the kernel (which is hard to do without root in the first place) or a leak of the tarball. This should get things rolling once it's up and running! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ericerk:
Glad I could help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crossoverdoc:
Honestly I'm not concerned with doing anything more than rooting simply to install FolderMount. Hopefully this becomes possible soon.

I'm assuming this doesn't unlock the bootloader. Hopefully that is released soon. I don't want to activate the SIM card until I know I won't have to wipe the phone again.

Do I need to flash the kernel (first set of instructions) before rooting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawnten:
also I have debug mode check in developer settings on phone but when I plug it in to the computer it doesnt say it is in debug mode like the s3 did. is this normal for the s4 not to display that in the top bar
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tedescop:
Seems to have worked but now I get a message "Detection information to protect your device, It is recommended you reboot"

Should SEAndroid.apk and Samsung KNOX.apk be frozen or removed?

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eiddor:
That's what worked for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] open1your1eyes0:
Before removing/freezing those please try the below:

Settings > More > Developer options > uncheck "Verify apps via USB"

May have to reboot afterwords for it to refresh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yeah1boy:
nice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tedescop:
I had already tried that. As soon as you freeze the SEAndroid.apk using TiBU the message disappears.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] open1your1eyes0:
Makes sense of course that would work, just trying to see if we can avoid freezing apps to turn off this pop up notification instead.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] whiteout7942:
Just to confirm, this root method works even with the latest block methods put in place by Verizon? I figure the first part of the process is flashing the MD2 kernal BEFORE all the blocks were put in place in order to gain root. Has anyone done this and activated their phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kingramon0:
Yes. I rooted mine using this method this morning. Now just waiting on the bootloader unlock...

Does that mean the option is checked? I was having your problem till I manually checked it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tedescop:
You need to Check "USB debugging" and uncheck "Verify apps via USB"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] p-slim:
I have mine rooted I was just making sure he checked it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cubs2008:
I just rooted mine and FYI if you're having issues flashing the kernel try using a USB port on the rear of your PC and not the front (I couldn't get the kernel to flash until I plugged into the back of my OptiPlex desktop.) Works great I'm restoring apps with TiBu as we speak.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] a11sop:
I flashed the kernel fine.

I have USB debugging checked, and verify apps is unchecked. Is there some sort of notification that says USB debugging enabled like on other phones.

All mine says "Connected as Media Device"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tedescop:
As far as I have seen there is no notification like you had on the S3,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ProfEngr:
OK, I must be dumb or something. I can't find Developer options anywhere. There's a Security options where I can select other sources and uncheck verify apps.

I don't have the SIM in yet. Could that be it?

"Today is Verizon's official launch date for the Samsung Galaxy S4. Seems like a good day for a blog post." - djrbliss

(can't link directly to it, too new :( go check his twitter)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sparatan117:
There's some pop ups on the phone that come up, that you have to click OK to on the phone itself (at least that's what it did for me).

I didn't notice the verify USB option though on the first run through, and didn't mess with it too much further in case my new beauty became a paperweight
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] a11sop:
I was trying to root my phone at work. I would never get the popup. I'm not sure what was wrong with my work PC. When I got home I tried again and everything was perfect. All rooted now.

When I start my phone I am getting an unlocked Icon on the 1st boot screen is everyone else getting this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] M@XLOL:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] garwynn:
I'm working on modding the CWM release now.

I'll try to have it up in next 2 hrs along with complete instructions on how to flash.

Shabby is working on his also.

Also trying to see which djrbliss prefers - having CWM image and loki_flash in a zip or have you pull loki_flash from Github.

Minor difference in instructions and just trying to hammer that out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] garwynn:
Recovery has been patched, rezipped and should be ready to go. Someone please post IMMEDIATELY if you see a problem flashing. Don't be a hero, let's just make sure this works!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BzBz:
i get this too. it says something like custom and then shows the unlocked icon.

the rooting process was a little funky, which is to be expected seeing as this is the first go 'round. the part about updating su prior to flashing back the stock kernel so you don't get the warnings is a little muddy, but flashing back the stock kernel does rid you of the warning and you're able to retain root.

one click method will be easier, but this works for now.

thanks to the guys working on the recovery!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] garwynn:
One clicks should be doable now that we know what is being checked. OTOH flashing AOSP projects - since they usually use a different kernel -just got a little more complicated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
Yeah, I just bought this over lunch and when I heard the BL isn't really unlocked (and thus we'll NEVER see official CM/AOKP type ROM support), I decided not to even turn it on. I left it in its package and I will be returning it after work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justreboot:
The rezound was in the same boat, and within a month all was good. When I gave it to my son he had CM10 on it.... I've had quite a number of droids and worked on countless others for coworkers/friends/family.

The bootloader will eventually be ported from the dev unit that was announced. It's just a matter of time. There are plenty of talented folks and the ROMS will follow suit. Just be a little patient, the phone got GOOG's blessing, and that means a lot.

Let's just sit it out enjoy having some of the finest harware out there and let the pros do their stuff...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
It's anyone's guess, but as I have to pay out of pocket for me it's not worth $800 to risk getting stuck with TouchWiz. And meanwhile, VZW/AT&T/Samsung will likely patch the vulnerability Dan is exploiting, so it is a matter of time before S4s are shipped that can't even run an unofficial ROM.

I'm sure it'll get sorted in time (I hope), but at least for me it's not worth an $800 risk of being stuck with crapwiz for a long time :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sdnick484:
The Developer edition just announced should solve your problem however I honestly am not worried at all because this is such a popular model that this is bound to be fixed. If I wasn't able to use the loophole to keep unlimited, I'd definitely be ordering the Dev version however at 50% savings and immediate availability, I can live with TouchWiz for a while.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
If I was sure it would get official CM/AOKP support, I'd keep it but $800 is just too much money for me to risk having to live with TW forever, you know? :/

Unfortunately, by the time we know definitively, the newer S4s may be patched/updated so that out of the box it wouldn't work. Rock and a hard place here...haha

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkc120:
Now there is talk of a developer edition.

Will this make an officially supported port more likely? Or will it just fragment the VZW S4 user base?

I think I'm going to just return this S4 and wait it out a month or two and see what happens with official support and also the dev edition.

That's encouraging that there's already alpha AOKP builds though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] garwynn:
I just thought I'd pass on - there are proof of concept builds for CM, AOKP and AOSPA on SXTP. They're just for demo/testing purposes, primarily so I can make sure I have the device tree right... but if I build them I might as well make them available. All 3 have been loki-fied and should be ready to flash.

Check the log though to make sure the kernel flashes. If you don't see the dd results I can guarantee the build won't boot.
