After a bit more work by the author I went back to the 4.4.2 GE ROM, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50199518

which is working very nicely.

My Nandroid backups went from 4.5G to 2.4G which is a lot less crapware without all that TW stuff that I never used
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dopediculous:
Same! Been my daily sense day one of its release. Love it. Especially with Faux 07 or currently Faux 12 :)

Thanks Nate! +1

I know this is an older build using an ME7 base, but I did have a question.

He has an option for Safestrap, would I be able to flash it fine through Safestrap if I am on the MK2 bootloader or base?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
No. You need to have your builds match up. Your options are only 4.3 right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] technich:
Boot looping

I'm on MJ7, and I'm able to flash and run Hyperdrive Build 7 (not that that really makes a difference). But when I flash this ROM, it just boot loops on me. It boots up, I get the Samsung flash screen, then the SS recovery, then black, and then reboot.

I'm not sure what the issue is!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] allforwon:
Sounds like you did a dirty flash? Do a wipe, then reflash, works like a charm for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] technich:
No, not at all. I've even done it on a fresh ROM slot and made sure to wipe data and cache/dalvik. Yet just boot loops. I have had this issue on build 6 and 7. But I've been running Hyper drive since build 13 (I think).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] EisBlade:
I need help with this. My SCH-i545 has 4.4.2 and is rooted. I have Jelly Beans Build 7 copied to both phone and sdcard but am uncertain how to properly flash the phone to get that rom to it. All the methods have changed. When I boot into recovery the lettering is too damn small to read, and I'm unable to find anywhere else to clear Dalvik, cache and install a rom from a ZIP file. I could zip around on my Thunderbolt like a pro, but not this thing. Any suggestions on what I need to do? Thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
You can only use 4.4.2 roms since your firmware is 4.4.2, that's how safestrap works. This ROM was built on 4.2.2 firmware from over a year ago, no one uses it anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mb27:
I'm still using it... it's the only rom I've found to be stable on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Yeah most people can't cuz they've updated their phone over the last year
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gwtx2:
NICE ROM

This may be an older ROM but it is rock stable. I've tried 3 of the 4.4.X ROMS and had problems and many dislikes with them all. Sticking with this one until I upgrade to the S5 or S6.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SponsOne:
Does anybody have a link to where I could download this ROM? I lost my previous download and the links in the OP don't work.

Thank you

Anyone know how to get all apps on multi window?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] droidgyrl6:
Yep, I did...but it was kinda weird. After, I enabled all apps and rebooted, I had to open the multi-window tab, hit edit, THEN add all the apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GameChanger:
How do you add the apps? It wont let me even after I flashed on top.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] droidgyrl6:
Did u hit "enable all" and save in the multi window manager app? Once it reboots and you open the multi window tab and hit edit, all the apps should be listed on the right. You should be able long press, drag & drop on the multi window tab.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GameChanger:
I got it working now. Did a full wipe and reflashed. I probably messed with something that interfered with it. Either way im good now. Thanks.:)

Does enabling all the apps in the multi Window app effect performance or battery life? Why aren't they part of the service to begin with?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mssam:
The sbeam works Samsung to Samsung. I tested my beans s4 with a stock s4 and a stock note 2 and it worked every time, but I wasn't able to beam from the s4 to the n7. I don't think it has to anything to do with the kernel tho, sbeam and android beam may just be incompatible...idk. I did get fc'd in the capture screen in the palm motion settings and with photosphere. No biggie tho... Samsung's camera is good enough for me...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] HoosierDaddy2442:
beans - possibility we can get a flashable zip of Halo since it's now open source?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] twiz0r:
My understanding is that halo on a TW rom may be very difficult to implement. Just what I've heard, hopefully I am wrong
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metallice:
More like impossible. Unless you somehow make halo it's own installable app and have it running at all times.

Touchwiz is closed source. Halo is open source. Round hole - square peg.

Been running this for almost a week.. pretty good so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jayochs:
man I wish I understood the lag on this phone. I really do. I want to ask Samsung, why does it randomly lag and stutter by simply scrolling through home screens? why when opening home screen folders does it just randomly lag and take like 4 seconds to open? I just don't understand why this phone lags so damn much. if I didn't love the camera and battery life so much man id be back on my DNA. that thing never lagged. even my s3 didn't lag.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zombieplanalpha:
The only lag I get is occasionally the keyboard takes half a second to respond. Are you using a custom kernel I am on KToonz kernel and seems fine.

I got more Jelly Beans than Jelly Belly, its on my S3, Note 2 and my S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbaty08:
People that are seeing lag... are you using a custom launcher?

I ask because I don't seem to notice any lag using Nova..

I have noticed some keyboard lag to actually.

In my messaging program when I am typing quick it has to catch up or load the messages.

My galaxy nexus never did this. Anyone wonder why?

Do I have to many txts/mms stored? Could that be it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
NSA has slow readers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gt5oh:
Haha.

You know know what that I look at it....

A group text as MMS lags really bad, it looks like it keeps opening something in the top Status bar and then closing it as you scroll through messages...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crooke356:
There is an app in Google play called floating notifications. Same principal just not baked in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jayochs:
i'm using the stock kernel that came with beans. the lag is ridiculous how it just gets super choppy switching home screens. i even dropped the dalvik heapsize down to 128 which was an S3 trick for a better launcher, and that didn't do anything.

and i'm using stock TW launcher; i like nova, but it's too plain
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bob_Bobber0:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gt5oh:
I am not using any launcher which is why its weird..

Its got to be a keyboard issue because I see it trying to load another keyboard in the Notification bar up top as I scroll through messages.

The group text I was scrolling through had alot of messages and people sending pics/mms and it was so choppy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zombieplanalpha:
It happens on the stock deodexed ROM also but I didn't notice it on completely stock (I had to Odin back to stock today long story) it also happens with other keyboards I use SwiftKey not samsung keyboard. It is fairly negligible sometimes it doesn't pick up first one or two key strokes.

I got more Jelly Beans than Jelly Belly, its on my S3, Note 2 and my S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gt5oh:
What can be done to fix it?

Is it something that can be tweaked, do you think future builds can fix it?

yeah swiftkey lags horribly on the s4 sometimes. it makes me mad because it was flawless on the s3 , then I got my dna and it was noticeably slower... and now on the s4 it's even laggier lol like come on, i can never win
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
I woke up to a new swiftkey update this morning. Maybe this will help.

It's definitely the best keyboard, but lag does impact the experience.

I bought swype for .99 when it first came out a couple of months ago and it seems to be less laggy to me although it is only good for swyping. Tapping is a no go for me on swype.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gt5oh:
Im using stock keyboard from Google in the settings input menu and its still lagging.

Not sure if it is because of Nova Launcher, or possibly because I am not using the stock keyboard (I use Swype), but I do not have lag.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
Hey man, nice to see you again. If you don't want lag, get a windows phone. I'm actually not joking lol. From my DNA I went to the Nokia Lumia 928 and I can safely say that WP8 has no lag at all.

Anyhow I'm back to Android and this phone. Just missed too many features and apps for now. Will probably go back in the future once they add a notification center and more apps.

Anyhow, I don't know what I'm doing differently, but I'm not getting any home screen lag. And no lag on SwiftKey either. And trust me, I am super sensitive to lag. Have you tried reflashing or anything?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jayochs:
nah dude. it comes and goes which is weird. swiftkey sucks on the s4 and it's documented.. it misses keystrokes often and just lags out. I haven't had lag issues the past few days, so I'm good. but i will never use a windows phone. I tried one and couldn't stand it. I only use Microsoft for my pc. i will never own a wp8 or an xbox.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crooke356:
I use Nova. I have no lag through the home screens. Or the keyboard. Swiftkey and Google keyboard are smooth as well. The only thing I have that lags is my circle launcher widget when I open it. Tw lags but not Nova. I've found a few AOSP ROMs that were smooth but the majority of what I've tried (and I've tried every ROM that is currently available for the S4) does have lag. Despite some of the claims, no other TW ROM is as smooth as beans. I tried everything for my Note 2 as well and it was beans again that offered the best. I'm really happy with Beans but I hope he can figure out how to disable the screen dim when the device gets warm. I keep my device at full brightness and it's always diming cause it thinks it's overheating. I've felt it overheat before and whatever sensor is deciding this is wrong.

Beans, who devs the only TW ROM I'll use, has only been working on this for a month, if that. I've no doubt he'll have this thing perfect in another month and we'll have forgotten that this beast of a device could have that disgusting, evil entity called lag.

Really, I can't believe that with what this device is packing that lag is even an issue at all. If this was ICS, yea, but 4.2.2? I own way too many devices. All of which run 4.2.2, except my Note 2 which is on 4.1.2. Everything runs perfect. And they don't have near the specs this S4 has. So odd. Kernel I wonder.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jayochs:
I honestly think it's tw, man. they bloated it up. anyone else remember sense 3? and how bloated it was? that's what tw has become. and it's funny because sense 4 became quicker and less bloated... and then sense 5 is even less.. all while tw became more bloated lol. either way, again beans makes the best roms on these devices. I love the rom and i won't even switch to anything else. and aosp is out of the question. can't stand it. if i had a nexus device, sure, like my n7. but the point of owning an s4,to me, is to run all of its features no matter how laggy it may become. I like the stupid little hand gestures lol, the air view, etc. the camera software is great... although it's load time sucks sometimes, the pictures and videos kill what aosp produces. aosp camera is god awful. idk why google can't get a camera app right, but the fact that you can't even change iso in the aosp camera is mind boggling.. and the fact that when you switch portrait to landscape EVERYTHING turns over.. like wtf? anyway, this rom is the best. period. lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
Man I know you're a great evaluator of phones, but I can't say that I'm having the same experience. Trust me I would tell you if I was. On beans with all of the TW features turned on and I'm getting very little lag if at all. And I use SwiftKey too.

I'm not saying that your experience is untrue, but I'm wondering what is causing it? It doesn't seem to be just TW as you say because I'm on the TW launcher and it's very quick and smooth.
