No it won't! I would never give false info. If I haven't done it myself I would never suggest it. I never did this either but after reading why we can I feel comfortable suggesting to. We both have the same hardware. The same data and the galaxy S4 like the S3 is a world phone that makes doing this possible.

I wouldn't even suggest doing this if I had any problems!

I'm using the current CWM touch I flashed using rom manager. I wiped data, flashed the rom and before leaving recovery I flashed faux t-mobile kernel. Like I said I began to set everything up.

You can get the direct link from here or here on XDA. This link is where I read about it. Make sure it's for Omega for I9505

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Purple Velvet Pimp:
Thanks, I'll read about it over the weekend. Do you happen to know if I go from rooted odexed to deodexed am I losing any specific functionality? I read you lose some Samsung features when using AOKP roms as opposed to Touchwiz roms.

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

Not implying that :D

Thanks for the links :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
No this is touchwiz you won't loose any features!

What rom are you on now. I suggest flashing a MDL build so you can have the MDL baseband. This rom does not come with a modem. That's what makes them compatible with other carriers. Don't flash anything but omega 3.1 because I know it works. If your new I would suggest reading the thread and listening to credible advice. I was on stock odex rom before flashing omega. If you took the MDL ota and have root and recovery you should be good to go.

Edit. Let me add you'll even gain features, like circle battery mod with percentages with the ability to go back to stock battery if you don't like circle battery. You'll gain data on/off toggles in the drop down and many, many more. They have gorgeous wallpapers and there own app at the playstore that makes it easy to apply a bunch of tweaks and mods! You have a lot of useful info to go off here. I think I covered all the basics. Have a good weekend

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

I know you weren't! I would be concerned about flashing roms not made for my device also, I was highly skeptical ;)

There were a bunch of t-mobile and at&t users and even a couple Verizon users using it. I definitely wouldn't try on Verizon because of there locked down LTE bands! I left that communist regime myself :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
There's a mod in the app to do that and I have it. I wouldn't use it in any rom but a deodexed rom. Many people wanted that exact mod ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Purple Velvet Pimp:
I'm on stock rooted, debloated, added a sytemUI with modded toggles and tweaks with the Xposed mods. Baseband: M919UVUAMDL.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
Your all set to go! MDL is the most current modem. That's why I say to be on it. Like I said the rom brings no modem only the system partition. That's pretty much what I was on. I backed up everything using titanium backup for a quicker set up. If you need any help and this thread gets lost feel free to PM me

---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

Update. I just changed a couple lines in the build prop and got my t-mobile 4g icons back! Victory
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] keysoh2:
Do you know if wifi-calling is working on the Omega rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
I'm curious why people like that? You can get unlimited minutes for 50$. Are you on a old plan? How do I test?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike105217:
For me its not minuets but i get horrid reception in my house because of the way its built but with Wifi calling i can make a receive calls still.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] keysoh2:
I have unlimited minutes, but my reception at home is pretty bad. Wifi-calling is a life saver when I'm at home.

On the original ROM it's under Settings > More Networks > Wifi-calling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
Hold on will do

Edit sorry I don't see it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Purple Velvet Pimp:
Bro, I think that will solve my problem. Would that Omega mod work on a M919running Wickedv3 ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
I just looked in the zip and it's a sec.contacts apk. I have mixed thoughts about you flashing this? I would try. You can always extract the sec.contacts.apk from wicked and copy and paste in system apps if you get any force closing. You have nothing to loose trying. Nothing will happen besides force closing

Try it. From my drop box

http://db.tt/GuCHK8gO
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Purple Velvet Pimp:
I'm not sure this is what I would need, I really appreciate the help though. Above the dialer on ExDialer you see contact numbers, last called, received, whatever. I don't want to see any of those numbers. Does that sound doable? Otherwise I'll probably just have to flash Omega.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
No that drop box link is a zip that's going to remove sms from your contacts. For the stock dialer. I'm positive if you just flash that rom you'll be extremely happy. It's way faster and everything works then anything I've tried. A million times better then stock rom.

That dialer app from the market is something I posted yesterday for a alternative to stock dialer. I tried to theme the stock dialer out for my odex rom and failed miserably. I felt bad and tried to find a solution for us. I don't even use that now that I'm on this rom. It's a great dialer and I'm probably going to give it another shot one day. For now I'm satisfied with the stock dialer

If you use that X dialer I'm sure it's got a bunch of options for you. Flash that zip and see if it's what your looking for
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Purple Velvet Pimp:
Alright, I'm moderately convinced ;) I'll give it a shot with that zip. What's the worst that could happen? [famous last words]

If I flash the I9505 Omega rom am I getting the kernel from the I9505 forums or M919 forums?

UPDATE: Dialer is black after flashing zip but all black no numbers and fc. Half way there
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Texus915:
Only difference youll probably see when going from odexed to deodexed is the boot up time, odex is a tad bit faster!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Purple Velvet Pimp:
Then I may as well be on deodexed if that's the only difference. Any luck with the fc's on the dialer? The transparent dialer and contacts was really cool.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Texus915:
I took my contacts phone and mms apks from darkness theme I have no fc's
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Purple Velvet Pimp:
What rom are you running?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
If you flash Omega flash a t-mobile kernel like Faux or Ktoonez. I'm confident you'll be blown away. You can make a backup if you want to be on the safe side. Make sure your using the most current CWM. I don't use twarp so bit sure about that recovery

To the hurricane

Change the (ro.product.device)

Change the (ro.product.model)

Change the (ro.product.name)

Those three only to what you see in the screen shot. It's one from my t-mobile build prop. This will get you back your t-mobile 4g icons. I actually reverted back because I love the I-0 instead of the on- off in the settings? For each the own but at least it's a simple fix if you want to go back and forth
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
This is what I meant. If you go back to the 4g icons you loose the cool international on off switches in the settings. You'll see the US variant on off

Wicked v3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Purple Velvet Pimp:
You're right, that's a damn nice rom (installed this kernel: [KERNEL][TMO][AOSP/TW][5/30/2013] KT-SGS4 - MDM - KTweaker). I I'm just about to dive into the Omega files. Are you ready for more questions? Great, me too! I really like the Xposed framework and the various mods for it. For the Omega rom do I need to install the 3Minit framework which is basically the same thing or will Xposed work as well?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
I'm here for you. Have a rare weekend off ;) is one amazing rom. Fire away

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

You do need to install 3mint framework to use that mod. You need to get the paid or free version of the app to control that mod. You can get it at the playstore. I tried it last night. It works really well but wasn't for me. I love the way I could modify everything and I even loved my new drop down BUT. I didn't like the way my status bar icons looked after the mod was installed. They just didn't look as sharp as stock rom? I ended up flashing omega again to remove the framework. You may love it so don't let me discourage you from trying it

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

How awesome is that dialer, contacts and mms look? Sexy dark look :thumbup:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Purple Velvet Pimp:
You're a good man. I should be working but this is too much fun.

I only want the toggles shown here which requires 3Minit 1.9 or less: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2286137

One of the good people here provided me with a systemUI for the M919 which had those toggles baked in and it worked perfectly. I can't use that systemUI on this Omega rom to get thos toggles can I? I think not; if it is no could it brick the phone if I used that sytemUI or would I just get a cascade of fc's?

Huge improvement, especially the contacts. I really like the transparent dialer/contacts that Texus posted earlier but I get fc's. I might try it on Omega and see what happens. Have you seen the S4 intl dialer with the brighter blue color? It's nice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
I could easily move them into our framework! Let me check them out?

Edit. The very colorful icons? I could move them in for you. It'll take me a little time. I have to do a little running around but it should be no problem. You give me the framework from what you want and I'll drop it in our omega 3.1 framework and you copy the system ui or framework apk over to your phone. I haven't themed TW in a while so I have to see where the toggles are stored
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Purple Velvet Pimp:
That would be great! I'm sure other would appreciate it. [you probably have to pm the original dev; seems to be the correct etiquette from what I've read. Hate for you to get angry messages over trying to help me out].

Can I use both 3Minit and Xposed on Omega? Would Greenify [on Xposed] for example work on Omega?

---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

That's very generous of you but there's no need, enjoy your time off. Since those toggles will work with 3Minit I'm all good. I just like some of the mods on Xposed and would like to use them with Omega. I'll probably just install Xposed since it's an apk and see what happens. That won't brick anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
Of your asking if it will brick anything my guess is no it definitely won't brick your phone but will things be compatible and not force close, that I don't know but my guess is no. One is a module and the other is a framework mod.

Could you do me a favor and tell me if the exposed mod changes any of the stock theme when installed? Also is there a way to remove the AM PM next to the clock using that exposed mod? That's the only thing I want changed. Oh I would modify the drop down also. I like stock theme besides the drop down and AM PM so I think exposed might be perfect for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Purple Velvet Pimp:
Xposed works! What you can do on stock M919 (odexed or deodexed) you can do on Omega using Nottach mod v6:

change clock color

remove am/pm

center clock

change battery color

change signal bar color

increase sms amount

many many more tweaks. Mods like Greenify & smiley replacer will probably also work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
Y

Did exposed change any of your framework on the stock theme? I'm only looking to change the AM PM next to the clock I'm not looking to change anything else! Especially not my battery mod? Thanks

Edit. Is exactly what I was looking for. I have the clean look of stock while changing only what is ugly, like the notification header background/transparency and made the toggles smaller
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Texus915:
Bobcat Rom

I went through the i9505 forums and i found Bobcat Rom, the rom looks amazing. I was wondering how would I know if there is a modem included in the rom or not?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Purple Velvet Pimp:
Yeah, it's a great app. You can also set a custom carrier label with it.

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

I read that none of the rom's we flash include a modem so whatever modem you currently have will remain. Not sure how accurate that is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Texus915:
thanks good to know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Texus915:
well i flashed bobcat rom with ktoonez kernel, everything working perfectly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
Yes sir they all work great! Nice to have many options
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wh4g:
Hi guys, does this work on M919? If yes could you share how you got it to work? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
Yes I9505 roms work on our t-mobile phones. You just have to flash a t-mobile kernel
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dannyben:
Hmmmmm..... I am far from an expert on this, but Mike... Look @ your signature. Changed to GT-I9505. Now 99% of things probably work perfectly with that change in the build.prop, there are things (Rom toolbox, Goo, recoveries, etc...) that I believe might end up bricking your phone.

Would like to get someone with extensive knowledge on this to verify one way or another.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Texus915:
All you have to do is change the build prop back to tmos.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wh4g:
Ok! I'd like to try it out, but could you suggest a good t mobile kernel i could use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dannyben:
Of course.... But will that also change workings of the international rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
The build prop doesn't matter besides the date and time format. If I put my t-mobile build prop back in I get my 4g data icon and changed on off switches in the settings menu back. I've been playing around with everything for a few days now. Got exposed mod and everything is working so good
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Purple Velvet Pimp:
I bought the 3Minit control app because the creator of the icons repeated several times in his thread how his icons will absolutely, without question, 100% will not work without the 3Minit framework. Well that was all bull#%&!. It works fine (icon toggle pack) with or without the control app. I also didn't like the color of the status bar icons afterwards and it was no longer transparent. The toggles also had a blue tint I couldn't get rid of.

Flashed Bobcat for the i9505 and I'm very happy with it. There's another one called Fox Hound which looks good but has some issues to iron out based on the comments.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
How are you. Coming from another t-mobile user using I9505 roms :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Texus915:
No it wont, im currently on an int rom I changed my build prop back to tmo so I could get my 4g icon back. No issues yet
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Purple Velvet Pimp:
I'm good, thanks bro! Have you tried that Bobcat rom? Pretty nice. I've backed up i9505 roms, reinstalled them with no problem. Great find on using other roms!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
Not yet but going to take a look latter

When I get home. I love the dialer on this rom but can easily move it into that rom if I choose to. I see that rom is slightly modified like this one but I'm loving this Omega slightly modified look with my tweaked drop down and no AM PM ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Purple Velvet Pimp:
That's nice. If you can try to get that M919 international dialer into Omega. Mike, would it be easy for you to change the spinners if I provided the ones you'd need?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dannyben:
Thanks. Maybe I'll give it a try. What about the call recording button on the roms? I don't need it, but heard if you accidentally hit it it will freeze the phone?

I'm pretty good & happy with the Tmo roms along with Nottach, but no one can get the multi-window all apps hack working without issues & certain apps FCing as a result. ie, someone try Google play video. Download a free TV show & it will crash after 9 seconds of viewing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Root:
You really know nothing and just try things, huh?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
No I don't know much but I didn't give false info. I'm not suggesting to modify anything in the build prop besides going back to t-mobiles stock build prop. I don't know why you came at me like this but I didn't give any false info?

Tested both and even got a couple games by using mako build prop seeing as we both have the same GPU. I guess I know enough to be dangerous but never bricked a device after 4 years of having fun with development. Yea man what was that about. Yes I'm sure you could screw your device up but no one said anything about modifying the build prop outside of device, model and name.

To anyone who flashed a I9505 build and wants to eliminate that annoying (camera is updating) message I found a stock kernel that works. Flash the kernel. Open the camera app and wait for it to go away the go back in recovery and run whatever you like. Tested and working on t-mobile running omega

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2271976

Flash the kernel from this thread
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dannyben:
Don't think he was accusing you of anything Mike, nor do I think you're intentionally giving "false" info.... But, I still think you're playing with fire here. There's lots of false info on here by people that really don't know much. And even high level devs always warn about bricking. Glad it's working for you & you're having fun with it. That's what this place is all about. But... The little I know, one or two wrong clicks & you're gonna have a blown NFC secure element or worse a $650 paper weight. Hope not & know you mean well. Just not worth it to me with Nottach's mod & the good choices in ROMS for Tmo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
This is how we should talk to each other. I didn't like the (you really know nothing and just try stuff) that's what wasn't cool. I agree and only suggested doing that so we could get our t-mobile 4g icon back. I read that it worked fine for many users on the omega thread. After doing it myself I felt comfortable telling others. Yes you are definitely right! There are new people and always newer people coming here. I should be more thorough when explaining build prop hacks! I definitely never want to screw anyone's device or my device up! No one wants to get disrespected and that's really all that was about
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Root:
I wasn't looking to disrespect. I do get annoyed when half tested theories that don't have known coding theory in mind are declared as safe. I've been actually testing for about three years now. I didn't even root for 6 months after I got my first phone. I wanted to understand completely before doing things. Build prop hacks are usually safe, but even they can cause major issues. Using things from other roms makes the assumption that they were built for your hardware. It's not a matter that their sysui or phone apk just changed the 4g logo. There's so much more to it and people are going to follow your lead and if your explanations mess up their phone, they're going to want you to explain why and how to fix it. I'm just advocating you make sure to learn the hows and whys before claiming something is safe. No disrespect, just don't want you in trouble with the masses if something goes awry.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
It's all good the root, at least your intentions are good. Keeping the user aware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
if you modify line 2 of dialpad_fragment_tmo in SecContacts.apk to android:background="#ff000000", it will make your dialer background black.

hey mike, did you remove the AM/PM yourself? i remember it was a smali edit but can't remember where in SystemUI policy exactly. if you don't know that's okay, would just keep me from searching ;)

edit: you need to decompile to make this change
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
That is such a awesome trick! I did use exposed mod and removed it no problem. I changed the notification drop down a little too make it look a little cleaner. That's about it. I like stock theme. Not into fancy toggles or having my whole framework the same color. Thanks Mr. Virginia! Going to take a screen shot of this and try it. I'm on a international rom and it has the dark dialer and contacts. I'm glad to know this so I can make the edits when I need to. Much appreciated
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SBERG117:
Hi.. I'm interested in trying this but not sure how...Is this something that can be done in root explorer or is it more intensive? Thnx...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mike216:
The easiest way. A computer and 7-zip. In there you can modify your framework and system UI. Sorry this is were most go to theme. If you were interested in just changing the contacts background then extract your sec contacts.apk and do as Mr. Virginia suggest. I had a ton of fun with 7-zip and CM10.1 theme engine themes last year. I used a app called zip signer to sign the apk's and install them like regular market apps. Check it out if your interested. It's very easy to change your framework to whatever you like. Look in different places to find images and themes you like to create your own
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vlad2277:
You mean decompile, change, then recompile?

Does this line change background of dial buttons to black as well?

What about background in dialer that's in secphone.apk how you change it's background? The one that opens during calls
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
yes sir, decompile, change, then recompile.

it does not change the background of the dialer buttons. these are made up of images so you'll have to change them seperately.

i haven't quite gotten to SecPhone yet :silly: later this week. i imagine there's some type of fragment there as well. i should def get to it this week, as it's one of the last parts i have left to theme. paying attention to detail takes a lot of time and patience. recoding lines takes even more.
