Q: What does NAE mean?

Been searching but couldn't find a definition.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JerryGNYC:
It's a device specific (SPH-L720) revision code. My SPH-L720T started out as MK5, then NAF, now it's NC6.

It can refer to an entire .tar file for Odin, or the modem to use with a certain ROM, or to identify what you're running on your device. Look in Settings / More / About Device and it's in "Software version", Baseband version", and "Build number" (that's where I see it on my stock/rooted tri-band S4).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kunchers:
Ah, thanks. I thought it was referring to something more special like. So noob question: I have an Mf9 with Android 4.2.2. I can just root this and install one of those near-stock Touchwiz 4.4 roms without doing anything else? Or do I have to update something else, too? (Sorry if this is the wrong thread for this.)

EDIT: I basically have kept my S4 at 4.2 because I heard horror stories about the updates, so I'm a bit scared of them. But I still want 4.4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JerryGNYC:
I'm stock/rooted/Xposed. No custom recovery. As for ROMs, best bet is to ask in a thread specific to your device, but if you're on 4.2.2 you should not have a problem rooting. I used Saferoot (which is in the Verizon GS4 section, but it worked great for me), then I later unrooted, installed a major update with KIES, then OTA'ed to the current NC6 update (small one), and rerooted with CF Auto Root. No pain, just some reading.

First of all, I want to say thanks for this thread. It gives me all the info I need regarding the 720T. For the past month or two Ive been flashing Roms and trying each for a couple days trying to see which is the best overall option. As of right now I am running Sacs Custom V3 but I still cant manage to get the Wifi Hotspot feature to work or even show up under settings to turn it on. I do have the Hotspot toggle but it does not give options for the hotspot feature.

I wanted to know what all of you are running? I tried some AOSP roms but I tend to switch back to TW roms in order to be able to update PRL since I usually travel to different cities often to get better service.

custom boot animation issue

i have this issue when trying to install a custom boot animation: it just shows a black screen. Ive used romtoolbox and it doesnt find the install location, and no matter what i try i cant get any to work or restore the stock. I have both /system/bin/bootanimation and system/bin/samsungani. I cant find any guid or tutorials on this that go in detail at all. Can someone with in depth knowledge please teach me how to change boot anims. And logos on the spsph-l720 galaxy s4?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] 2WhiteWolves:
I'm on Sprint SPH-L720. In romtoolbox go to Root Browser the bootanimation is in System> Media it is bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg. You need to Change it to bootsamsung.qmg.bak and bootsamsungloop.qmg.bak. Then do the same with shutdown.qmg to shutdown.qmg.bak. Then don't unzip the zip bootanimation and flash it in custom recovery, wipe cache/dalvik-cache.

I forgot to do the shutdown.qmg but it still worked. Hope it works out for you.

The NOS mod, now called Project Injector or something like that, and it is fully compatible with Crossbreeder like it says in the thread.

Just when installing NOS it will let you choose which of the components of it individually you want to install and you have to make sure to NOT install the Entropy mod as that will interfere with Crossbreeder as it essentially tries to do the same thing.

With NOS, Crossbreeder, Ktoonz kernel with a bunch of tweaks, I have no a single issue with lag performance or etc, and it actually flies in every category.

BTW it's Crossbreeder isn't supposed to like magically make your phone eight million times faster, but it is definitely noticeable. Try out the two mods together, they work great.

Will throw it up once I get to my PC!

As in an AOSP messaging app that works on Touchwiz? I don't think so :/ One of my biggest gripes with TW is definitely the native messaging app. There is someone in the Themes and App forum that's made one working with AOSP roms but they are also currently working on a version compabitable with TW apparently so I'd keep an eye out for that!

Again like I said, I have no idea which mod your asking about since none of them are "Beats", you didn't answer my question. Which mod are you referring to, BMSound_Full?

Wow thanks for this. It makes it a lot easier to find what you want
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jj14:
Couldn't wait! lol! Took a nandroid of my current set up, and installed it. Works pretty well.

I already had Xposed framework installed, so I just installed the XPrivacy apk, enabled XPrivacy in Xposed, rebooted into recovery, and flashed the Xposed fix for 4.2.2. Restarted, and voila - Xprivacy is working!

I installed version 0.32 - enabled the dark theme. It seems to be working as far as I can tell. I tried blocking contact access for a couple of apps, and as expected, I can't "share" anything from those apps with friends (because it doesn't find any contacts). Internet access block also works (but caused problems with one app - subway surfers - it closes a second or two after I launch it)

I will play around with it the next few days.

The developer appears to be pretty active, and is busy pushing out a bunch of updates. Not sure if I'll be updating it very often (unless there are a bunch of new features in the new version that I want) - but I fully intend to contribute to the developer as soon as I get back. This is wonderful functionality to have!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Inline:
For sure perfect!

I have one more question....lol....like I mentioned in an earlier post as of right now I am just rooted with no custom recovery and no rom. If I were to install a customer recovery (TWRP) but not rom would I be able to flash the mods in the OP?

Thanks!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Inline:
If you have a custom recovery and are rooted you will be able to use all the mods in the thread.

You do have a "rom", it's just the stock rom without any modifications made to it so by installing all the mods you want yourself indivually is making your own custom rom to a lesser extent.

Some mods aren't flashed through recovery though so be sure to read the thread of whatever mod you are trying to install so you don't mess anything up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jbarresi19:
Thank you for that answer fully explaining it....I was hoping that I could....one more question if u don't mind....does that mean I would be able to flash a custom kernel also if I wanted....again I am just rooted but I am going to add TWRP today
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Actually you should DL and flash the stock DEODEXED ROM before flashing any mods in a custom recovery. Most mods are made for deodexed ROMs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Inline:
Well almost every mod here either has an odexed and a deodexed version or can use be used on either. But definitely should go deodexed if playing around with any theme stuff.

I think I gotta more clearly separate the mods, tweaks, and themes lol. My definitions of each are rather specific in my head ahaha.

But I'd definitely recommend installing the deodexed rom, you won't have to worry about anything being incompatible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jbarresi19:
I was thinking of that but the few mods i want to install can be downloaded for Deodexed and Odexed so I should be fine with just the custom recovery correct? Well as long as i download the Odexed mod.....But what about a custom kernel? Can I flash that with TWRP with no custom rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Inline:
Yes sir, lots of the mods (not themes) have deodexed and odexed versions or can be used on both. If you don't install deodexed rom be sure to use the odexed version. And then if the mod doesn't specifically designated what type it is for, give it a quick read through to make sure it works for both.

And yes sir you can, I recommend Ktoonez's kernel personally :thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jbarresi19:
Awesome yes I hear good things about Ktoonez's kernel and will probably go with that first....not sure why im so against flashing a custom rom right now as I always have on past phones but I really like the TW interface and dont want anything to change much.....but a few mods and the kernel like i mentioned....thanks so much for your help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Inline:
Yeah definitely try it out! If you like the stock experience, I'd definitely check out FreeGS4 - its basically full stock with nothing taking out but with the ability to remove the bloat you want yourself + a bunch of handy dandy mods (4-1 reboot, hotspot mod, hide headphones, etc etc) + plus a bunch of extra flashables for other things like battery mods and etc!

And no problem man, enjoy! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jbarresi19:
HMMM that sounds interesting and tempting...I was actually looking at that ROM (FreeGS4) i guess my main question would be have you lost any functionality with Air View, Camera, Multi Window, or any of the Samsung features? I read through the post and see people have mentioned that they have not lost this or that but i do not see anyone saying that they have lost anything and i just want to confirm that.

To be honest my main two reasons for not flashing a rom was 1) I really liked the stock TW on this phone and 2) I wanted to be able to do any OTA's when they release

But i guess with those ROM i would get the best of both worlds because first I would have a custom rom that was just like stock TW plus i would have no issue adding any mods or kernels. And if an OTA did come out that I wanted to install would I have to wait for a dev to release it or would i possibly be able to temp-boot to stock and do the OTA?
