You're correct, MDK is the only version able to flash without Safestrap.

The radio version is indeed independent of the bootloader version, which is the only thing that matters for flashing ROMs. If you don't currently use Safestrap, then you are definitely on MDK. Try rebooting your phone. If you see this screen during the boot process, then you're using Safestrap:

If you don't see that screen, then you're using MDK and can flash anything you want. Don't ever take an official update! MDK phones are so much more convenient to flash on than anything newer.

UPDATE deleted the partition and recreated it. Tried to install rsl12 and got the same results. Again deleted partition and reinstalled rsl11 and it worked fine. I may have had a bad download or transfer from PC to SD. Going to try rsl12 again from a fresh download.

"Q: The "Smart" Functions and Picture in Picture Camera do not work?

A: This is an issue with the Stock Kernel on ME7 Base Roms. For these to work you need to flash a custom Kernel such as the Elite/Chronic/Ktoonz/Faux Kernel found in my Hyperdrive Hub"

Is this still the case for MK2/MJ7? Do these functions not work for anything other than MDK?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:

I did not install the Samsung account in Aroma. Didn't think I had a use for it. (?)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbradley07:
Thanks for the replies, Bob and Phobo...

I definitely do not have SS. I have only ever used TWRP 2.6.0.0. Just curious, is there a system file somewhere that tells you exactly what version you are on? Based on your responses, I'd say I'm definitely on MDK, but I like to know if there's another place to check other than the "about" screen (which does not indicate MDK.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lagos3sgte:
Flashed to RLS 12. Neither of my two car chargers work. How do you file an official bug report for this type of thing? Its something that was supposedly fixed by Samsung in MK2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phobophobia:
You could try flashing an AOSP ROM or restoring back to the original MDK build via Odin. If either of them boot, you're on MDK. Since you don't have Safestrap, though, that's already enough indication that you're on MDK and don't need to test further. Someone else might have an easier way to verify; I'm not too familiar with the inner workings of the recovery and bootloader and such.

Did u by chance installed viper4android?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] got2b240:
Thanks for the hard work!

However, I am dealing with an issue where I am able to install and use the RLS12 just fine until I try and restore my data.

I am simply using the touch recovery to restore just the "/data" portion from my previous backup as I would like to have all my call logs and messaging history intact. What results from this is a "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." message coming up repeatedly and functionality comes to a screeching halt!

Any suggestions? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xaZnxbOyx:
i don't have viper4android installed, should i?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
No I was having problems and v4android was the reason why

Has sbreen acknowledged the Google account loss? My calendar will not stay synced and I need it for my work schedule. So I definitely can't use rls12 as there are too many bugs. This is like the GPS nightmare we had in RLS6 all over again.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eNkrypt:
They have not been fixed. While at work my account was desyncing all the time. Good news is the lag I had in rls11 is not present in rls12.

Also wanted to know if there was a way to put the network speed on the left hand side of the notification bar. It use to be on the left in rls10 and I like it better on the left. It looks weird in between the vibrate mode icon and the 4G signal icon. I looked through wanam and couldn't find a place to move it.

I'm having trouble getting rls 12 (safestrap version) to work.

I'm on MJ7 and have SS 3.70

Tried installing HD 12 SS on Rom 1 but when after the safestrap screen where it asks you to continue or go to recovery, I just get a black screen. Any ideas?

Edit: and I end up having to pull the battery after that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TMYINC:
Did you flash the mj7 kernel modules?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] akayzwhiz:
Yeah, I do that right after/before the reboot.. didn't choose anything in the setup either.. just to see if it would work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TMYINC:
Any errors during flashing? How big is your ROM slot? Have you tried deleting the ROM slot and recreating it then flashing? Sorry if some of these questions are redundant. Process of elimination.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] akayzwhiz:
Rom slot was the default values so

system partition: 2753, data: 2493, and cache 295

I didn't get any errors during flashing.. and I'll try deleting and recreating the rom slot again right now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TMYINC:
The only other thing I can think of is that aroma might flash a kernel by default. Haven't ran TW in a while so I don't remember. Just make sure it doesn't try flashing a kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] akayzwhiz:
Ok so I'm installing it again right now.. one of the options is the kernel.. i dunno how to not select one.. didn't think that was possible.. I'll let you know what happens..

Edit: So... I dunno what I did different but it booted up! Thanks a lot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BJSerpas:
Thanks. Most everything works with Wanam now, but for some reason I can't disable infinite scrolling on the homescreen. Maybe it doesn't work since the launcher has been replaced with the Note 3 one. Not a huge deal, but I'm kinda OCD about it :p

Wait, so, you were able to completely flash over the stock slot? I must've been away from this for a bit too long, because to my knowledge, that was impossible for us. It sounds like you did though, so that's pretty awesome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TMYINC:
Sometimes files get left over even with a full wipe. That's why I suggested deleting and recreating the ROM slot. That ensures a clean install. Glad you are up and running!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
I'm guessing but I would bet that it has something to do with having MW Manager installed that may be causing this to fail.

I tried the MW Manager from the Play Store but even though it does theme the MW dark it doesn't use the right graphic images and it just didn't look right to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CyberZion:
Bug last night.. Before going to bed, blocking was enabled as always, but this time I was awaken by my phone beeping. No notifications, just beeping. I rebooted and lost my Google accounts, 1st time on this release. And then I unplugged the charger and the beeping stopped. Is there a setting for battery charged notification I don't know about?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
I don't think it's ever been "impossible", just not recommended. A few of us have flashed to the stock slot and haven't had any issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vanydotk:
So those of you having the Google account problems, does it just delete your Google accounts completely and you have to readd them? I'm running an older version of HD, I may hold off until the next release if this is the case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
Only problem I had was restoring to the stock slot. I had to Odin back to Mj7 root, re install Safestrap, then was able to restore previous backup onto stock slot.

Other than that... No problems lol

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Best practice when you encounter an install issue with safestrap is to do exactly that...save alot of time in the long run to start with a clean brand new rom slot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JCBiznatch:
You just have to re add them. Haven't had the problem with the update as of yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hovax615@hotmail.com:
Does anyone have a torrent file for the safestrap HD rls 12? For some reason when I try to download from that link it downloads till about 5% then I get a download unsuccessful error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dydigital:
Did you try a different mirror for the download? There are multiple ones
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] D0CTOR:
Sure, unzip the Knight.ogg file and using a root file manager add it to system/media/audio/ringtones. Reboot, and it should show up as a ringtone for you to use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] morgej:
Worked like a charm!

(Any idea why this is shown in the media picker as a long string of HEX values, instead of with a nice name like "Knight Rider"?)

Thx.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] D0CTOR:
I'm glad it worked for ya! As for why it shows up that way, I really don't know? I would check it with your root file explorer and see if the permissions are set the same as the other .ogg files in the directory. That's just a guess though....

I'm definitely having issues using my car charger. When I plug in for the first time, everything works fine, but if I unplug and plug in again, the phone will make the charging noise, but won't charge: the circle battery won't indicate it's charging and neither will settings -> battery. A restart fixes things, but only for that first plug in.

Update: phone doesn't seem to be charging at all now, even after restart. And the charger is fine: just tested it on both a stock s4 and s3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gorillafist:
Maybe someone can help me out. I was using the wanam app to do some themeing and the header buttons are staying white.

Installed rls 12 on two S4's, one on mdk and one on mj7 w/SS 3.7. MDK install had data and wifi working when booting and it lost all google accounts on it as soon as it booted. MJ7 S4 is my spare and had no data or wifi enabled when it booted after hd12 install and it kept all google accounts for more than a day which is when I connected it back to my wifi. Lost my google accounts on it shortly after I connected. I was watching it to see if it would happen. Lost the google accounts again after adding them and rebooting. Installed supersu from play store, added back my accounts and it hasnt had an issue since.

SO is it safe to say the HD12 isn't quite Bug Free yet... And if we can just wait for 12.1 or 12.2...?

Never had a problem with HD 11 or 12. Haven't lost my Google account. Absolutely running smoothly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ULEWZ:
There are few force close issues with this rom. It only has two issues IMO.

One, the Google password issue (just reenter password and all is good).

Two, the charging issue. I can no longer use my car charger, and certain other chargers at home.

It works fine with higher amperage charges, so it seems the latest kernel is looking for a higher charge rate then previous versions. It would take someone smarter than I to modify the charging parameters, which should be easy to someone in the know. Maybe a simple setting we can change using Build Prop editor?

Reposting this because so many posts are with people with problems.

I actually don't have problems... just questions.

I don't see a FAQ about the individual features of the rom and how to incorporate them.

So if anyone could answers these.. I'd appreciate it.

Finally got on the S4 train for Xmas and got myself a little gift.

I have a MK2 rooted, with RS12 in rom Slot 1 working great.

Just wondered 1) how do flash the keyboard skins, lockscreen downloads, etc. They come as zips, just flash them in recover?

2) Can I somehow load the transparent accuweather with another launcher other than the one it flashes? I use TSF 2.0 but don't see a widget for the accuweather I had after I flashed the rom stock.

3) whats the little lock in the upper right corner mean?

4) Is there a mod to remove the 'ongoing' section of the notifications? I don't really need to see that I'm running a launcher each time I pull it down. I removed the wifi notifications but this is more based on apps, not wifi.

So far I am impressed. Coming from a droid razr maxx and always using droidrzr.com and droidhive as my resource, I've been happily surprised XDA is so active and up to date with people working and scrapping to get things done. Much shout out and love to Hashcode (strapping) and Sbreen for great Rom to boot!
