[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbwsutherland:
Thanks man ive been watching over this post. You seem to be agreat guy by saying what you said and keeping us updated. Glad to see you continuously improving:) when I see 2.0 release. I will be giving illusion a shot.

Thanks for your hard work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsmikeramsay:
OK testing phase is done peeps. Compiling final builds... The peeps that donated (you know who you are), I'll be sending you guys an early access link once the proper device builds complete... As for everyone else, thanks for being extremely patient while we ironed out most of the major issues... The official release will either be later tonight or early tomorrow... Guys please don't blow my inbox up asking can you get early access... ask around if you wanna know how. I'm extremely busy, even now preparing for my vaca and what not...

I'm going to be on vaca starting tomorrow afternoon, so I wanted to get something VERY stable out to you guys before the holiday :D. See the changelog to know the extent of what's changed...

Hybrid Settings and Ribbons WILL return, just not this build. I needed to get a stable base going with a few additions/revisions I made, before I get into all that stuff....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mt3g:

This has to be the nicest aosp rom I've used one thing is there a way to have stock animations

And browser that has full screen on all the time like liquid and aokp
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
Had an issue with boot it said to go to Verizon store so I used chronic kernel

And it booted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amosavitas:
the cleanest builds on the block, thanks for the work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] demon28:
Having issues with camera force closing and ROM wiped my SD both internal and external
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
Me too damn
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sean09232:
Deleted never mind
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
did you figure it out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crossen0:
Just got my GSIV today and rooted it. This was the first custom ROM I tried instilling but it booted to a screen saying I installed custom software unauthorised by Verizon so I restored my nand of the stock ROM. Any ideas?

Edit: I had been running this on a Sprint GS3 prior to this and was loving it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blue26:
I believe the fix for that was flashing a custom kernel immediately after flashing the ROM, before rebooting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
that's correct and also camera is fc he is aware and will get it fixed after his vacation
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] philsfan:
was just gonna mention the camera FC. i tried installing the android 4.3 gallery just to give it a shot, no go. (installed but still get FC)

but, this ROM is sweet. really enjoy it. thanks you :good:

EDIT: can anyone tell me which font this uses? I'm digging it...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
I think its roboto fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amosavitas:
flashing the photosphere addon from the slim website fixed it for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
Didn't work for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 17akota:
Anyone find another work around for the Camera? I tried a Fix Permissions and the Photosphere zip and it didn't work for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
nope he said we was working on a fixed I just used slim with slim gapps and pulled his klp theme and all is well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bensl84:
i had the take your phone to verizon prompt. is there any way to bypass it without unrooting it. I guess i should have read the thread to see i needed to install a custom kernel to prevent that..

really want to try this rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
yup install kernel

gsx just got his s4 and is starting to build his ROM I just use mikes theme

mike must be busy with life which is cool hope he gets this going
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djintrigue808:
Hello everyone. My name is djintrigue808 and I will be taking over all jflte devices for Illusion Rom. Let me start out by bringing you v2.1! Enjoy! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dadsterflip:
Going to check this out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbwsutherland:
Is the new kernel added loki'd or should we still plan on flashing a custom kernel for vzw? If you don't mind me asking. I have yet to Tri this but have been following the thread and releases. Thanks for continuing progress on illusion sir
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
would love to hear some more about this rom.

I've spent the past couple of weeks on tw roms (mostly sacs 4), before that I was a couple of weeks on Liquid, and now I'm itching for another aosp experience.

How's this one?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbwsutherland:
Yeah I hear ya howa sacs compared to hyperdrive. Ive been rocking rootbox and jellybam I love them wirb chronic kernel. Thwy are great. Im gonna give illusion a go as soon as I hear back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Exodus885:
Is this AOSP? If it is, I think it's in the sub-forum.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
To be honest, I tried hyper last night and went right back to sacs. I think hyper is trying to do too much.

Sacs is fast and smooth and everything works. I give it a slight edge over Beans too.

Too bad we won't be seeing any more updates for sacs.

Really jonesing for a new aosp rom and I think I'm gonna give this illusion a try
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Exodus885:
Just tried flashing it and I got an error saying my kernel is unauthorized.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbwsutherland:
Dam you will have to chronic or kt kernel right after you flash the rombi believe
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Exodus885:
Ah, that makes more sense... I can still get into TWRP so no biggie.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crooke356:
Immediately after flashing ROM, flash an aosp kernel. That's all you gotta do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Exodus885:
How do you use Halo?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hdb_3:
Is the camera issue resolved?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mpetruzz:
I cannot get my camera to work at all. Tried a number of different apps.

Gonna have to flash my backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
so Iguess 2.1 is like 2.0 tthat's a shame it's a nice rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Exodus885:
Yeah, camera doesn't work for me either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amosavitas:
thanks for keeping this thing alive dj.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hdb_3:
Yes AOSP, IR Blaster, a working camera, and a boat load of options and this would be my dd for sure. Thanks for your efforts!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djintrigue808:
Thanks for the reports on camera guys. It doesn't work for me either... Believe me, this issue is on my priority list. I will get this resolved.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mpetruzz:
Everything else was blazin fast. Unfortunately I rely on my camera quite a bit. I'll def try once its fixed!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dabs delicious:
So I flashed this rom, and right after I flashed Chronic Kernel, and still got the unauthorized kernel crap.. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
start again wipe and ROM,gapps,kernel

just heads up camera doesn't work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dabs delicious:
Which gapps should I use?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
slim ROM gapps

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/all/viewcategory/383-addons
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dabs delicious:
I wiped all, flashed rom, gapps, then kernel and then rebooted phone. Still gettin gthe "System software not authorized by VW has been found on your phone" :(

Maybe it's just not meant for me..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] randy hoopes:
Each time I tried flashing this rom it crashed my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
If you have Titanium Backup, just uninstall the SEAndroid file and reboot your phone and you should be good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crooke356:
Tried this bad boy on my S4 and loved it. The font, animations and system sounds are tits. Just a couple bugs kept it from a DD. Put it on my N4 and wow. This thing is gonna be awesome. I'm stoked.

Dr. Cornelius asks you to calm down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
Ehh I want the camera to work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] what be up:
I'm sure he's workin on it, just give em some time and then it'll be awesome :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djintrigue808:
We are working on it but, as most of on here we have lives. We'll get it working. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JamesPumaEnjoi:
I flashed this and got a yellow triangle that said error: kernel.....please shut your phone off and bring to your local verizon store....im hoping thats not a nasty boot animation trick o_0
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hdb_3:
That is because you need to flash a kernel. That will get you booting.

gunnermike53@gmail.com get with me on gtalk and ill set you up with some server space. unlimited space and bandwidth, and I don't charge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bgechka9:
Kernel

Yea I would also like to know which kernel to flash with this to get it working.

Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Exodus885:
You have to flash an AOSP kernel, I flashed AOSP KT kernel and it worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bgechka9:
Can you possibly give me a link please?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bgechka9:
Actually nevermind I found the kernel, so lets say I flash this ROM and the asop loki kernel can I then go back to stock rooted touchwiz from my backup or do I have to flash another kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
Camera doesn't work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bgechka9:
I understand that it doesnt work my question was can i go back to my stock rooted backup?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] revolt1:
As long as you have a nanoid backup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsmikeramsay:
What's up peeps! The purpose of this post is to update you guys on what's been happening. Illusion is very much alive and isn't going anywhere, let me clear that up right now lol.

So... Android 4.3... the merging process is almost complete. Test compiling will begin soon after so I can start to iron out the issues that may occur. Lots changed, lots of features added, including CM's Focal Camera...

This process is taking me a while... had a baby shower last weekend, been busy with real estate since. I've been sneaking in Android here and there, but I'm definitely focused on a few very important things personally. I'm also keeping an eye on CM's github to make sure I update other things as things move forward.

I can't give an ETA on when to expect a build peeps, but believe me I'll be posting screenshots as soon as I get it going, booting properly and such. For me.... it's quality of trying to rush a bug filled 4.3 ROM. So bare with me folks as I get things situated... it's coming. I didn't get here and earned you guys respect by releasing unstable builds right? ;) Stay tuned folks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsmikeramsay:
Alright folks, here's another update... 4.3 is officially merged!! I just did the last part of it and caught with CyanogenMod as far as frameworks goes.

Reference here to see what I'm talking about: IllusionProject Frameworks/base

Of course there's loads of things to iron out, but the overwhelming part of merging 4.3 is now behind us!

I'm still not going to promise an ETA, but I will be doing what I can to get everything functioning the way it needs to be. Thanks peeps for remaining patient through a busy part of my life recently. There's quite a bit in store for 2.5. I may even release a alpha version of 2.5 so you guys can get your hands on a 4.3 build with all the cool nifty features and such :victory:.

Those that have been sending donations, I really really really appreciate them!! Once I get a build going for you all, I hope you guys enjoy it :angel:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JamesPumaEnjoi:
Thanks Mike... If the camera worked on the last build there would be no need to try other ROMs ....the KLP theme, the animations, the font, everything is perfect...keep up the great work I know your life is EXTREMELY busy but the community appreciates it tremendously....this ROM is THE best AOSP ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] perceptualdoor:
Really excited for an update to this ROM...was starting to feel concerned, but alas mike has kept us in the loop, much appreciated for the heads up! Anyway, this is my favorite aosp ROM and I've tried them all. Can't wait to rock this again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsmikeramsay:
Almost there guys. Been super busy with real estate stuff but 4.3 is almost there. I'm literally ironing out the later portion of compiling now. Mostly settings and frameworks. Change log is what it is... Nothing has changed.

It will be an alpha though. We'll work on getting it together for s3 and s4 devices. We've got maintainers that will be doing others. Its coming peeps. .. Really soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JamesPumaEnjoi:
You're the man Mike thanks bud....I can't wait its going to be epic
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JamesPumaEnjoi:
Hey Mike I know youre super busy man just checking in seeing if theres anything the community can do/ pitch in for you guys...let us know man best AOSP ROM cant wait
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsmikeramsay:
Aight folks, this has been on HECK of a ride! 4.3 is running super nicely so far as we work towards adding some features....

In case you haven't seen the changelog yet, PA Pie and Hybrid Settings were pulled for now.... i'll be adding Hybrid Settings back 1st. Ribbons and Halo are present, Halo took a major update as well, thanks to PA. A new theme is coming, this will be default since it's closest to stock theme.... you guys wanted a blue theme right? ;). Show Annex some love peeps, he's killing the themes! lol.

KeyLimePie theme will be hosted on Google Docs, along with a new theme called KeyLimePurple lol (i think).

So most of you HAVE to be wondering... Mike when can i get my hands on this? Well.... I'm glad you asked guys! S3 and S4 devices will see an update Friday coming.... it WILL be ALPHA, so please don't complain about issues and such!!!

S4 Users guess what???? Headset jack NOW FULLY WORKS! Thanks to CM, they got it working, so expect something close to stability lol.

Stick around peeps, I'm still busy with personal life BUT, I still got you all! Thanks for being patient.... Here's a little "teaser...."
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JamesPumaEnjoi:
Oh yeah
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsmikeramsay:
What's good peeps!! It's Friday!! So as I promised we're pushing for a release today. I've got the device trees for s3 and s4 set up completely, yes this includes jfltexx and i9300 (no delay this time). I'm going to start compiling soon enough to get things updated... Here's what you guys need to know....

1) THIS IS AN ALPHA BUILD!!! I know there's issues. S4 users, irda I'm not sure works 100% yet, CM seems to be doing something extra with it, making it smarter maybe, not sure. Headphones jack is fixed.... S3 users, Focal can take 3-4 pictures at a time!!! If you take more it'll freeze and kill the camera til a reboot is done!

2) I removed Hybrid Settings.... 4.3 rebase fugged it up. The Hybrid Settings I'm adding back is a tad different from PA's Hybrid Settings, nonetheless is based on it...

3) Themes: So there's like 3 themes we currently have going... KLP, Illusion Blue and Illusion Purple, all of which have been done by [MENTION=2014360]Annex1[/MENTION]. Dude is a complete beast!!! They'll be hosted on Google Docs! DO NOT MIRROR THESE THEMES UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES!!! If anyone asks where they're located, refer them to the link that will post...

4) I officially got my real estate license!!! What does this mean? Yeah I'm going to be getting busy, but the freedom of schedule and pretty much being my own boss works out, but I'm taking this seriously... getting my hustle on peeps!!! I won't promise weekly builds... but builds will come often, I assure you that much :).

5) This is a 4.3 Based ROM!!! WIPE WIPE WIPE!!! If you're already on a 4.3 based ROM.... WIPE Anyways lol.

Hope you guys enjoy this build... This is Illusion's initial 4.3 release.... Stick around peeps, I'll be updating the threads in a few....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Exodus885:
Good to hear!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JamesPumaEnjoi:
Congratulations on your license Mike keep up the great work dude...cant wait anymore for the alpha lol :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JamesPumaEnjoi:
Not sure he posted that 5 ½ hours ago but the build isn't up on android file host so idk but they do a lot of variants maybe they just didn't get ours done yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] perceptualdoor:
Crosseyed and Painless!! Lol.......hehheehe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JamesPumaEnjoi:

this looks nice ill give this a try once its finally up. any word on how the battery life and what not will be with this?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BizzLeonDaCouch:
This rom looks really cool... I'll have to check it out next :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ReyBoricua:
haha. we shall see! def digging the looks:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JamesPumaEnjoi:
Take it easy man idk what he has done on other threads but on this one we were told "Friday" on three different occasions starting a week ago and this is one of my favorites so I was excited but Friday came and went...Donating doesn't equal "I'm allowed to complain now...." No one's upset here except you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cjkacz:
I agree with this post. The number one rule on these threads is NEVER ASK FOR OTA's. Those who abide it wait patiently for updates to their favorite roms. We are asked not to ask out of respect for the devs who put alot of time and effort into these roms for free. If we become impatient and write something we get crucified for it. So what's the difference if a dev says this Friday and it doesn't happen? What precludes him/her from showing the user a little respect and just saying "Hey guys I know I said Friday but something came up". Some devs are just disappearing leaving everyone to speculate and wonder. And then God forbid someone gets frustrated and the forbidden question. My point is that these issues can be avoided if respect is shown by all parties involved. No person in this thread is better than another.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] perceptualdoor:
There still a chance of this happening today? If not, no worries.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djintrigue808:
Please be patient everyone. I'm starting all S4 builds now. Its just a matter of time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JamesPumaEnjoi:
Yup going to happen tonight
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsmikeramsay:
Alright folks. We're still compiling but now we're also uploading.

Follow me on Google+ or Twitter guys. I'm maintaining like 8-9 threads not including S4 threads that I also post on as well. I don't have the time to keeps copying and pasting on all threads.... Follow me and look out for my posts. Preferably Google+ so you guys can provide feedback and such.

-Thanks!

its only 155mb. thats a full Rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JamesPumaEnjoi:
Camera still doesn't work from the latest 4.3 build (last night). Just letting you know....guess its Slim for a little longer

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

Camera working for you? I have been running it since 3AM last night and can't get camera to work for the life of me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] perceptualdoor:
Naw, Mike mentioned last night on g+ that the camera for the s4 is broken but he wanted to at least get an alpha release out...should be fixed in the next build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JamesPumaEnjoi:
Hopefully but the camera hasn't worked on 4.2 either
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] perceptualdoor:
I know it didn't...I trust it'll be good to go next build, I know they are working on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ReyBoricua:
Looks like i had to answer my own question since it was clearly ignored, These type of roms (aosp) seem to usually come in small sizes from what iv seen on other roms in the original android development area for anyone that was wondering like myself. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bgechka9:
anyone know why i dont have root with this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bgechka9:
Comeon i though you guys were here to help me, why dont i have root on this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] perceptualdoor:
Not sure why, but if you go into developer options you can fix that under root...select apps and adb I believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bgechka9:
I dont have developer options in the settings and i already tried tapping the build number thing to get it, it didnt work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JamesPumaEnjoi:
check under all of the menu settings...check security

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jerrah:
so far ive installed from a stock ATT gs4 Omega v5.0 and also tried ibastids rom. after the installs and the flash of the stock ATT kernels and even with the faux kernels i cant use the smart features like pause or scroll they only seem to work for me when im stock with no roms any ideas ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Slade8525:
try this...

ODIN back to stock ATT UCUAMDL, OneClick 3Way root/recovery, and TWRP to the kernel/rom you are after. An ODIN reset and clean install of new rom then kernel should fix it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jerrah:
hah thats what i did to get back to stock lol, i odin then i 3root then installed and bam still didnt work
