Hey all

Thanks for the super rom and update.

wanting to flash, please can anyone confirm exchange working.

seen 2 posts saying fc on exchange.

but no one saying working.

I must have exchange working for work.

Thanks for any info

I'm guessing you're on stock ME7 OTA?

Anyone have NFC issues? I flashed rls8 then flashed the Google Wallet and when I try to turn on NFC to finalize wallet setup I can't use NFC. This worked on rls7.

Wallet issue?

Rom issue?

Keeps aborting installation....Please Help....Im using CWM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mightycaptain:
I was. I cleared data . That stopped the fc. I then entered my exchange account but it doesn't sync any of the data. So I'm stumped right now. Might reflash.

The sony sound mod worked great for me. Is it gone from release 8, or am I just missing it? And if so, is there any way we can get it? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andy_fr:
Thanks for this information, does this restore your contacts as well? I assume you should edit the build.prop after you flash correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobby janow:
Wrong again. Cortex a9. Look at the cpu list. If a8 works for you cool. A9 is what I've been using with cpu over 800 mhz. Enjoy.

I got the notification for the ota update to 8.0, I use an app for my work laptop to get my soft token to access the info and cant afford to have to resubmit to get another one. If I download and install the update will I lose the data for the app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kerms:
I use one of these as well. I use titanium backup pro to back it up with data, then restore that when im done flashing the new rom. You may want to back up the "accounts" item as well in titanium.

Before flashing, make a nandroid backup of your whole system so that worst case scenario you can go back to whatever youre on now and have it as it was before flashing

RLS 8 rocks!

Scottie man, you rock!

Downloaded RLS 8 about 4:30 this morning from one of the mirrors via OTA update and dirty flashed over 7.

Everything working like a charm.

Best damn ROM out there!

$$ coming your way now.

Thanks for all the hard work.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dontcallmejames:
wow scott, massive update. HyperDrive has been my daily driver since at least RLS4, cannot wait to update to 8 a little later. hoping some of these FC issues iron themselves out by the time i finish my real "work" today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] S_rob7488:
That's what I firgured I would have to do but wanted to make sure. When you say make a backup of the "accounts item" what do you mean?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spike96:
Like it or not, the thread says: ALL SNAPDRAGON over 800MHz regardless of cores, use A8 with Neon.

A8 with Neon is what you should be using. There is no doubt. You keep telling me I'm wrong but your not telling me how.

The S4 has a Snapdragon processor, and that is what matters here. A9 is for non-Snapdragon dual or quad cores. YOU are wrong here.

If you aren't even going to read the original thread with its installation instructions, I don't know how you've navigated yourself here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mightycaptain:
Looks like I can't install Rom Toolbox Pro. It is causing the phone to reboot on installation. E-Mail seems to be working now by the way, and this installation seems to be what was causing the issue. Have to get a log cat.

Full wipe.Factory reset. NOthing else installed except what I did from Aroma, before trying to install this app. Unistalling updates for the play store causes a reboot as well. Need to quit running my mouth and get a log cat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kerms:
There's a separate item in Titanium backup's list of things to back up, called "Accounts". Some apps require this as they store credentials in the system rather than the app itself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JediMindTrixx:
Exchange is currently working for me.

FYI in aroma I chose exchange w/o securty check, or whatever the actual option is... :)

---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 AM ----------

Either one may work...

I'm using A9 as well. That's coming from Scott himself...

I have the same problem with 5x6 both scroll and no scroll. If I choose to change just the home screen wall paper it works just fine. But if I choose both Home and Lock Screen or just Lock Screen from the home screen I get a fc. If I go to display settings, all options to change wallpaper work without error.

I just changed the name to bak and downloaded inverted email (aosp)from Nitro's rom and set permissions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mikeblock:
No fc here. But the stairs bar has no transparency, and ktoonz kernel won't boot. The second isn't the ROMS fault, but thank the Gods for nandroid. It other hand, I'm glad it has the dark sammy kbrd again. I can't wait to find a compatible kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tripsuire:
I had that issue. I restored from tiBu and it crashed. So, I went to the hyper 8 zip and extracted and installed the Swype apk from there. It is now working correctly. Hope this helps!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Sorry u having issuses and no one answering ur questions... seems like u need to re-dl the rom and try again. I had one problem with email fc. I dont use exchange email so I deleted it and no more fc for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xucardsfan08:
So far the only thing not working for me is Swype :(

Other than that, it's great. Smooth & fast!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NickSaul:
Yes! I tried installing walled from this post and not NFC is stuck in a state of limbo. The toggle in the settings menu is on, but grayed out and the S Beam toggle is off and grayed out. Also the NFC notification bar toggle is like a dark green, like it's in the process of turning on. I tried force stopping and clearing the data of Nfc Service and NFC Test in the Application Manager, this successfully turns off the NFC, but when I try to toggle it back on, it goes back into limbo. I have been using this Google Wallet mod since RLS4 without any problem.

Also, does anyone else notice a shadow on the top of their lockscreen? I have a transparent status bar enabled, but there is a shadow behind it on the lockscreen. It is not part of the image. See below:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Try flashing the wallet fix before you ever boot the ROM. That's what works on the other ME7 ROMs.

Anyone else having trouble with my backup pro nit working
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] slimzim:
Just to clarify: the instructions say to do a "full data/factory reset" - does that mean anything other that doing a factory reset in CWM? I've been using this Rom since version 4 with absolutely no problems and have done the factory reset in CWM three times (like the instructions say) and formatting system - do we have to do something different this time cause it's updated to ME7?

Thanks for this great Rom - love it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcleaver84:
Thanks I'll give that a shot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trud9340:
Wiped (per instructions) and flashed. So far so good - I'll report back if I experience any issues. It does seem to be faster than rls7.

The default keyboard "auto replacement" feature does not work, which is unfortunate because I love the layout of the default keyboard. Back to swiftkey for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Nope
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drbveb88:

Audible used to work

The Audible app worked in version 7 of this ROM, now in version 8 it doesn't work. Any clue as to the fix? Installed fine, but once you try to open Audible, it opens then closes before it gets past the splash screen. This is a deal breaker for me, i need Audible. :crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NickSaul:
This is happening to me with Chrome Beta on RLS8. I open it, then it quickly closes. The non-beta Chrome app works though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dwmartin6341:
I don't get the option to wipe system in my version of CWM (version 6.0.3.2).

Do I need to mount the system partition before it will give me this option, or should

I choose format system? Cache and Data are mounted.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dwmartin6341:
Thanks man.

My phone is one that had problems with TWRP. I love that recovery, but I would get

corrupted partitions using it. Had to ODIN back to factory and reroot right before the

ME7 update was pushed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
Alright i see and i will fix

I know about it as will fix for next build. For now just change them from the gallery

What options did you select in aroma installer?

Either Redownload or try another recovery

What's wrong with the shutter speed? Mine is pretty quick

Hmm you realize that this isn't a job for me, I'm not on xda 24/7 I was asleep so i'm sorry that i couldn't answer every one of your questions or get your logcat the second you sent it. Also this is free software so you aren't entitled to anything or support. Don't know why you are "mad". This has been out for 12 hours at max. Please let me know more about your last 2 issues using the format below!

All you have to do is set the status bar transparency in hyperdrive tweaks.

I'm sorry a few of you are experiencing a few isssues, if you have an issue to report, please post along with it

1. A detailed report of what happened, before and after

2. Exactly what is happening

3. What you installed in aroma installer

4. A logcat or other relevant information if possible

With my roms, i try to actually develop cool features you wouldn't have on the stock rom, and add new things rather then releasing stock debloated roms like some. Since i completely rewrote this release from scratch, and i don't have the time to test every possible thing, I'm sorry if you do not get the perfection some of you are evidently expecting. Please be patient and we will work out some of the minor issues you guys are experiencing. :)

Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Thanks breen
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mills23:
The shutter speed on my S3 was damn near instant. This one is slow enough for my subject to move.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mikeblock:
I'm not complaining, it's your fault we expect perfection lol. When I set the transparency, it turned black and wouldn't go back. Had I left it alone, it would have continued working fine! As to the kernel, I just have to track down one of his ME7 builds. But the MF based kernels don't work a bit. (Big surprise :P) But hel, you don't know if you don't try!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bigbabys:
Not a huge deal, but I've noticed I can't install the swiftkey cloud beta. It just soft reboots while installing. It was working fine on RLS7. Otherwise, as usual, this ROM is amazing :) Keep up the awesome work!

Some information about my install:

I don't remember all the options I selected in Aroma to be honest, but most of them are basic besides the slight audio increase hack and the viper audio engine.. It's a fresh install, totally wiped.I downloaded the .apk for Swiftkey Cloud Beta and every time I try and install it the phone reboots. That's about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stickperson:
Hey all, what's the best way to use aLogcat? Should I just keep it running constantly? I flashed in RLS8, rebooted and waited 10 minutes. I then flashed in my update.zip file from TiBu which had apps only. Booted back up and then widgets were crashing. Went to bed, just woke up and saw my phone was off. Very happy I didn't sleep too late! Anyway, I'd like to use this rom but want to see what's going on. Should I do this all again but just keep aLogcat running? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] masonsparty:
Same here too, cant get any to open to restore data, even older versions. Re-installed several times with different settings and still nothing. Have to revert back to rls7 until someone can figure out how to get it to work. don't fell like restoring everything manually!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bigbabys:
Sames goes for Avast Anti-Theft and SwiftKey Cloud Beta. Something is causing reboots on these installs, very stange...

[MENTION=4600715]sbreen94[/MENTION]

Regarding my System UI freeze issue, the Aroma options I chose were:

Launcher: Stock TW Launcher

Choice of Samsung Apps: Mobile Printer, Polaris office 5, SMemo/Translate/Voice Recorder

Accuweather Stock

Stock Email

Stock NFC

Google Boot Animation

ROM Mods: Ad blocking/No Ascending Ringtone

ES FIle Explorer

Google AOSP Choices: Maps/Youtube/Gmail

Ringtones: Sense 5

Apollo Music

No Keyboards added

Added Flash and Greenify and Sony Album

And Stock Kernel (but flashed afterward to Stock Optimized, by resetting cache and Dalvik cache, like usual)

As far as afterwards, I let it boot up, waited ten minutes, and then proceeded to reinstall all my user apps, and then reconfig'd all the settings. The issue with System UI is sporadic and happens at random, when I use the screenshot buttons. If you can help me out, that'd be fantastic. Let me know if you need more information. :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wired4Fun:
So far, I'm quite pleased. But I do have 2 issues to report.

1) Camera lags terribly when using PIP

2) I can't get one of my most needed programs to load. Can anyone else tell me if MyBackUp Root will install in their phone using this ROM (link below). Each time I try to open it, the screen goes black for about 8 seconds followed by a message that says "Unfortunately, MyBackUp Root has stopped." I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, redownloading, fixing permissions, granting SuperUser privileges, but I can't seem to get this program to load.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackupRoot

Edit: Upon uninstalling again, I happened to notice the following message at the bottom of my screen:

Cannot read data/xposed/modules.whitelist
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sailrace:
The fact that you even have to say something like this is absolutely ridiculous. Anyone that doesn't know that flashing a new release, particularly for a ROM compiled from scratch, won't inevitably lead to some potential issues quite frankly shouldn't be flashing ROMs to begin with. I have sat back silently, reading, learning, and watching the new features and RLS8 develop. And while i ran into a small issue or two, and there are some things causing FCs, the last thing I would do is come on here, or any other Developer's thread, and ***** about the fact that it isn't exactly what i want or doesn't work perfectly.

I guess what i'm saying as loudly as possible, is thank you. Thank you for making a great phone that much better by giving all of us the chance to customize how we use each of our devices. I don't expect perfection, but you've come pretty damn close. And the fact that you compiled it all yourself speaks volumes to your skill and dedication to the members on this site. I wish i had the time and commitment to learn and provide this type of support. But in the absence of that time, I am hugely appreciative of developers like you and many others who do sacrifice their free time so we can use the tools you develop.

Sorry for the long winded response, but I really felt it necessary to say something and thank you.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Georgegore1990:
i know this question is gonna come off EXTREMELY noobish, but ive been reading back pages and pages and i can't find an answer and the last thing i wanna do right now is brick a $400 phone i just purchaseed not even 2 months ago.. but anywho.. my question:

since this is an "ME7" ROM, wouldn't it be pointless to risk flashing it if im already on stock OTA ME7? Also, is it even possible to flash this ROM, if ANY ROM at the moment due to problems with obtaining recovery? and if so, how should i go about doing that and setting up whichever said recovery is compatible with stock ME7? would i gain anything at all from flashing this ROM? are there any substantial and particularily beneficial upgrades included in the ROM seperating it from stock? im sorry for being so uninformed and playing the part of the typical neighborhood noob... but im sure for every question i just asked, theres another 1000 people wondering the same thing as me so any answers to my questions would be greatly, greatly appreciated. by me and by anyone else who happens to be as clueless as me which im guessing is a pretty large group. hahah:s

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kerms:
Hmm just noticed issues with shutter speed too. I have it set to auto, it pulls up a "Processing...." dialog after each picture. Not sure if it has to do with the CM camera addon i installed, but im using the TW camera to test this out

EDIT: looks like CM cam is damn slow too, weird
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sailrace:
As for any issues i've found:

1) When first setting the phone up, using the Stock Samsung Email client, the phone would randomly reboot, as if the datasync was causing a memory error that caused reboot. I reflashed, and it happened again, but I just let it sit and continue the sync process after it rebooted once, and since then, i haven't had any problems. So if any of you are experiencing FC's with exchange / corporate mail, try letting the phone run through its full sync process and see if it resolves itself.

2) I am also seeing FCs with the photo editing. I don't use it a whole lot, so not enough to make me roll back to RLS7, but it would be nice to try and figure out what is causing it.

That's all i've noticed so far. I use Swiftkey, so haven't tried Swype to see if i'm having the same problems that others are mentioning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
Make sure you are setting the alpha slider too. ;)

Lol maybe try clearing the camera data, was it this way on previous versions?

Thanks for the information, I'll play around with this all tonight

Dev Edition RLS8

Has anyone installed RLS8 on a Dev Edition? I completely wiped, Reinstalled from scratch, No tibu. Stock kernel with dev modules to start. Kept getting hot reboots. No particular pattern. Then I flashed the Stock optimized from 7 and dev kernels. Same results. Not complaining since the dev edition is the stepchild of the community(Lol). Just want to know if anyone else is having the same issue. No problems with RLS7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JediMindTrixx:
If you are on the ME7 OTA, you cannot flash this or any other rom until there is a way around the bootloader, which is locked down in ME7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trud9340:
FYI - I was able to install it with no issues. I did a very basic aroma install after a full wipe and I have had zero issues so far.

Anyone having issue with Nova Launcher on RLS8?

1st let me say I'm loving RLS8.

Scott, Thanks for the great work! It's smooth and fast as heck and so far I've only seen one issue.

I'm running Nova Launcher and when I try to remove an icon from my home screen, Nova FC's.

It immediately restarts and I select Nova as my default Launcher and then I can remove the icon, but if I try to remove another, the same thing happens.

Has anyone else seen any issues like this with Nova on RLS8? It worked just fine on RLS7.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] diaftia:
I have to say my experience has been near perfect! I am not seeing any of these problems with FC's or black screens that other people are seeing. I am fully restored from TiBu and have all my per app DPI settings done. Even got my dark theme dialer and dark multi window bar in.

I do have the HTC One task switcher picked. All I have seen is that the three line button in the top right corner does not appear to do anything. The close all tasks at the bottom still works though. So, all in all, very minor.

FANTASTIC work Scott! My crack flasher itch has been scratched and I can CALM THE HELL DOWN FOR A BIT. ;) :good:

Do you mean wake the phone with the home button? Just go into the Tweaks and in the lockscreen section untoggle then retoggle the option.

Does that reset things like Xposed settings and per-app DPI stuff?
