heres what i did and got it working.

1: create a decent size system/data rom slot

2: pick whatever you want in aroma, that really doesnt matter. make sure you do full factory reset data wipe. will only affect the selected partition

3: when its done, clear dalvik/cache at the next screen

4: flash patch modules. clear dalvik/cache again

5: reboot, should work.

Thanks will try this later today

This rom is pretty smooth but would've liked to see it been updated or a final version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Priorities.... 4.2.2 port that will never be 100%, or latest android at all times(4.4_r1.2) with GPE layout built from source for all nine carriers?

Id like to support both but there is entirely too much work to do on the team project.

What you should really want is kexec support with SS.

Question! Comes with Google Wallet fix and flash GAPPS?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Haxzor11:
Nvm after flash has GAPPS and Google Wallet Fix. So far epic ROM! Love the install GUI. How can I use that in my roms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
The GUI is aroma. There is a thread on how to use it. Frankly I know enough to get by with aroma... But hlx OWNS aroma editing/modding/making.

Great ROM. but how do I enable mobile data on my att s4 mf3 safe strap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Haxzor11:
I'm surprised that CM doesn't have aroma. Great for noobs. Fantastic job on this rom. What is your new project?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cruiserdude:
Don't be, it's CM.

Check out his new project here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2467131.

Do note that at this time it only works with MDK as far as Verizon goes, no Safestrap until that at least gets kexec support or something of that nature. The OctOS rom is AOSP with as little CM as possible, so it will NOT boot on a TW kernel. This GE rom, on the other hand, is TW-based, which is why it is compatible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Haxzor11:
Ah. I like his new project. Dubbys is the best Dev on XDA. I'll flash OctOS when its stable enough to not brick.

I have a Galaxy S4 from US cellular, with Team Win recovery, and carbon rom right now. I've noticed that roms that only roms labeled USC work on this phone. When I flash a rom that's just for Verizon, my phone won't fully boot. Both my S1 and S3 could run Verizon roms no problem. Is there any way to get around this limitation so I could run this rom?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ph1nn:
Looking to install this on a friends Galaxy S4 (who hates the stock interface and i don't blame him he shoulda got the Moto X)...

Question - does this install on a stock rooted Verizon GS4 or do you need to unlock the bootloader? I thought there is currently no way to unlock the Verizon GS4 bootloader? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jPeg1900:
This Rom works with safestrap, so you don't need to have an unlocked bootloader, just root, and safestrap recovery installed.

I had this Rom installed a while back. However, I've been trying to install it again for the past few days. It took hours to download, and Keeps failing for some reason....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ViperZ28:

Sorry if this question is ignorance, but why do you say that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
I know Dubbsy isn't going to do it because he has said so repeatedly . . and I talk to him like every day :)

As for why it would be difficult, we (at least myself) are doing it blind with no road map of which files need to be edited. Its not like porting a tw ROM from the jfltexx to our jfltevzw where we just need to swap out some system files and a few XML edits (over simplification here for sure). With the GPe 4.4 it is actually an entirely different than any other stock ROM for the vzw we have to pull and compare from

Sent from my Galaxy S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
And I said one before I'm not going to port anymore. Ports are never 100% and then your user base is never 100% happy.

And the 4.3 gpe specifically was coded missing the CDMA bits that I needed and can't recreate to even make the port work. Frankly I'm not going to try on any future gpe versions because our project scope for our team encompasses most of what makes gpe gpe anyway.

Besides all that. All you safestrap users hoping that if this ROM got updated you'd be able to use it you are dead wrong. Gpe 4.3 switched to an aosp based kernel. So it's not happening for you even if it did happen.

Get yourself jtag'd back to mdk. Then come visit the project we work on every single day.

4-way Reboot Menu

Here is a mod that will work on ANY deodexed gs4 google edition rom (of course any edits that have been made prior will be lost). This has been made from the android.policy.jar in the GoogleEditionVZW_PureG version from the OP. Please note, to make the "Hot Boot" aka quick reboot work you will need to install BusyBox from the Play Store

Install methods

-Download GoogleEditionGS4_4way_reboot.zip and save the root of your internal storage

-Boot to recovery (only tested within TWRP)

-Flash mod

-Wipe cache/dalvik cache

-Reboot and profit!!

GoogleEditionGS4_remove_4way.zip <-- flashable package to remove this mod

Method used came from here, and using a compare tool to make changes.

On Jellybeans and other TW based ROMs I have not experienced this.

Besides this, the rom ran really smooth. Quite pleased with the offering.

In trying to fix a few things from a previously released deodexed version,for my own theming/ tweaking (v4.0.1)..Thanks for doing it!!!!!... I've noticed a few"strange" things.

After fixing the compiling of framework and sysui..I decided to delve into stuff on my phone. Sammy has a lot still in this build.. such as the toast menus etc that are still being called on..but I saw this using sqlite..

so the stuff is still there...just "broken" right now.. almost like this was meant as a filler to get the GED's out the door until 4.3 and whatever updates from Sammy to get their stuff going again.

I'll be maintaining ruj's sprint Blu Kuban fully ported to VZW. That's been my project for the last 2 weeks because niv3d messaged me and asked if I could. And I asked ruj and got permission to do so. Because of that project I figured out what is necessary for data in general on any port to vzw. It has been a lot harder than this Google port for sure. I might post a beta build but I'd rather just finish it.

And I'll be maintaining the plain deo and plain odex Google ports and may update my personal build here and there. But I've already had a load of help and I imagine it will be more of a team effort than just me maintaining it. I do not plan to maintain the sprint version, I'd rather they maintain their own. I just don't like not being able to test the build.

It's not that big of a deal, and having seen some Nexus 4 walkthroughs now I'm starting to think they were intentionally removed because I everything transitions like in your builds, but I just liked how snazzy those animations looked. Either way I've been having a blast with the work you've done. I'll make sure to pass something your way come payday. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Oh I never really pay attention that much. I flash far too often to remember. I'm on Blu Kuban right now. I'll be back on Google in probably an hour or so. :good:

The card animation is a built in option of Nova Launcher. I used to use it often. Now I pretty much leave most builds as-flashed because I know I'll be wiping and flashing something else too soon for me to care about the other apps. Sidenote* Which is why I always use TWRP. Flashing this much, it is a super PITA to wipe cache and dalvik on 2 separate screens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NotoriousNeo:
Yeah TWRP is by far my favorite recovery for those same useful reasons. Btw, edited my post with a link to those animations. I'm thinking Google removed them or something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I don't think any of the JB ROMs I've ran had that animations stock. But I only ever ran pure AOSP for about an hour before I switched to something customizable on my nexus 7. And the rest of my devices have all been running a version of liquid or pacman pretty much their whole lives.

This is the first product that I didn't mind the stock setup(once modified). I used to hate touchwiz. But it's pretty nicely done in the phones IMO.

Is there any way to get % battery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I'm not quite sure that you fully understand what needs to happen for it to work properly. Swapping the kernel is the easy part.

Getting it all UnSprinted is the "slightly" harder part. Most of the themed goodies have sprint garbage in them. And direct Swapping in vzw files will kill the theming.

As far as the percent there are flashable mods posted in the 9505 forums. Give them a shot.

Anyone on 4.5? If so, how's the stability / performance?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loldi:
Been running 4.5 for about 20 hours now with no problems at all. It really is incredible how smooth this ROM is compared to TW. The only things I've noticed have been:

- verizon wireless text at bottom of lock screen/notification shade is just garbled text (Dubbsy is working on it)

- first time I opened the camera app it was just black, but now its been fine every time

- no bars for wireless signal, but signal itself is fine (again Dubbsy working on it)

Only things I miss from TW/CM/etc are the ability to add toggles to the notification shade and ability to change the vibration intensity.

Other than that, 4.5 is running just as well as any stable ROM I've tried.

I would suggest eventually adding the option to turn off double tap of the home button. Such a fast rom should have the option to not have such a slow home button
