I've had no issues that I'm aware of from the play store.

The only issue I did have was restoring apps from titanium backup. I had 41 "elements" that failed. This was a tibu and play store failure, not a rom problem. A Google search fixed the problem. I am on mdk, not SS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
I installed with safestrap and playstore will not download/install any app....MDK may be ok
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
Have u tried clearing cache and data for market and google services?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] doctordroid:
Dirty install on unlocked bootloader. No issues at all. As alwaysnNitro is the best in the business
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dknell:
Yes, that doesn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aleggsue:
+1 on that. I cleared cache, and data for all previously mentioned items. I rebooted, and it still won't install any apps. Otherwise, everything else works well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
I'm going to reload and try this weekend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
That did not work. It seems as if it's an install error as not even SD Card apps install
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aleggsue:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Has anyone been able to fix permissions with any app? To Install you would need to copy and paste the apk to your system/data folder and set permissions to -re -r -r. Went back to stock before I could think/try this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dknell:
I did this. I was able to manually install apks by pasting them in the data/app folder and fixing permissions. But you won't be able to update apps through playstore...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RemnantKing2:
Gosh, aside from some tiny annoyances, I loved Build 7...Can't wait to see a stable fully working version. Amazing work so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
I can't do any testing of the new version until the playstore issue is corrected. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s44:
I guess inverting isn't done, as gapps are still white. Seems stable though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aleggsue:
I tried this and for some reason all installations done manually failed.. Well, I know another build will be out eventually with a necessary fix. Nitro is always excellent with fixing bugs
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
Build 7 is sick. Great job Nitro!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawn12350:
Can someone test this for me and tell me if it fixes the app install problems. Download and flash in safestrap. https://www.dropbox.com/s/hzrbl8i8xnq52pr/AppInstallFix.zip

Wipe cache and dalvik.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dknell:
I'll give it a try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dknell:
No luck. I tried playstore and sideloading. It changed the install error code however...

I appreciate your effort on this fix. I really have been looking forward to this rom on SS. Let me know if you want me to test anything else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawn12350:
Can you try this one for me

https://www.dropbox.com/s/tkx4mer77md7yu0/AppInstallFixs.zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dknell:
Still no luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawn12350:
Weird. This worked fine for me. Ive been running this since it was released. I have it installed on the stock slot though so maybe that's why I'm going to make a slot and flash the ROM again and do some more testing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dknell:
I am using the stock slot. What is your install sequence?

1. Install Rom

2. Install Fix

3. Install Modules

4. Wipe davlik / cache

?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawn12350:
That's the same sequence I used.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aleggsue:
I'll test it in ROM slot 1 when I get a chance. I hope your fix works!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aleggsue:
You flashed the fix and ROM in stock slot? Everything is working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shawn12350:
Yeah everything is working fine on my end on the stock slot. I made a slot and reflashed the ROM with the fix and it didnt work. I've also had someone test it for me on the stock a lot and it didn't work for them either. I'm going to keep working on it unless nitro beats me to it. I've removed the links for now since its not working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tokoam:
seems like all the GE roms installed on safestrap have this issue with the playstore Kinda weird however people with unlock bootloaders do not have this problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WordsworthESP:
I don't think this is a GE ROM.

Sent from my Hyperdriven S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RemnantKing2:
Are there specific directions to installing the Rom in the stock slot? If installing in Stock slot resolves issues then I have no problem.

Would backing up stock slot then recovering it to a rom slot work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aleggsue:
It isn't. The title says TW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dknell:
At this time, there isn't a fix for the playstore install errors, regardless of slot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WordsworthESP:
You could always try ES File Explorer's App Manager to save your apks from your current ROM, then install via ESFE after flashing. It's not ideal, but since you're using Safestrap and can utilize more than one ROM, it should be fairly easy.

Just FYI, there aren't any specific directions for flashing in the stock slot. Just backup, wipe & flash. Just make sure you know a specific ROM actually boots before you try flashing to stock.

Sent from my Hyperdriven S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aleggsue:
For the record, if you check on nitro's website thread for this ROM, someone posted a fix online. I've tested it and Play Store *mostly* works. Most apps, especially the popular apps, work perfectly fine; it's the less popular apps that cause a random reboot and don't install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gt5oh:
After hoping around for 1 month on various roms.. 4.3..4.4 I decided to come back because this is the most well built rom I have run in years

Things are fast and snappy, never have any issues with reboots or lag and the battery life is good
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tokoam:
yes that was me that posted this fix but...its still skued
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] egle00:
Damn nice rom , too bad i have international version . Maybe in future we will see it on international version xD ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wmsforties:
kablooey!

I flashed this ROM and lost safestrap.

Also I can install no apps through the play store or anywhere else for that matter.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
what build are you on and what eclipse version did you flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wmsforties:
Build is jss15ji545vruem.

Not sure what eclipse version.

Baseband is vruemk2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Ur baseband is mk2 so it's 4.3 and this rom is me7 if I'm not mistaken which is 4.2.2. So maybe that's ur problem. I would try a mk2 (4.3) rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] s44:
You have no idea what you're talking about.

Baseband is just the modem firmware, and can be anything as long as it's for the correct hardware. Some people have ignorantly taken to using it as a proxy for the bootloader, but that only applies to 100% unmodified devices.

Furthermore, the current version of Eclipse is a MK2 base. The previous one was in fact MDK -- ME7 was an experimental version that got abandoned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Bwuahaha... true
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JBeXX:
The last few progress builds are indeed 4.3, not 4.2.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pikezer1337:
If I have an ATT S4 on the latest firmware and I have safestrap can I flash this successfully?

I have done the same thing on my Note 3 but I'm switching backing to S4. Don't think I could live without this rom though:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jpcalhoun:
You can flash the ROM but some Safe Strap users are reporting a problem downloading and installing Play Store apps. You might want to visit the Dev's web site and research the discussions Safe Strap users are having and the actions they have taken to resolve the problem...with not much success if I remember correctly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Not just play store apps, any apks for that matter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bsimpson1:
I've been on CM for quite a while now and want to try the new progress build, but want to make sure the stock Touchwiz kernel is compatible, and if so, where I can get this kernel.

Can anyone enlighten me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jpcalhoun:
When you say "stock" kernel which kernel are you referring to? The MDK kernel or a kernel that came "stock" with a different version of a stock ROM? The Eclipse ROM build 7 allows you to select between a "stock" (talexop) kernel or a ktoonsez kernel during installation. I selected the "stock" kernel and the ROM is running great...no issue what so ever. Both are reported to work well with the ROM. I'm running a Dev S4 with MDK baseband and MDK bootloader.

New S4 about to root/rom

I came from a galaxy nexus using Eclipse Rom and love Eclipse Rom's. I just got a Galaxy S4 Verizon. The phone had one OTA update and is running 4.3 with MK2.Baseband. I'm excited to get back to Eclipse Rom on my S4 but have a couple questions. Is it a good time to root and install this Rom or is Nitro about to put out an update to 4.3 or something? Also, once I root and install the Rom will there be an option to not get any OTA updates so I don't lose the wireless tethering with this Rom? Thanks for any help

Just thought of something else. The Adapt Sound in TW has been nice. Does this Rom include the Adapt Sound feature?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jpcalhoun:
I'm running Build 7 and the clock function and the Personal "function" both work on Build 7. There are a few lock screen widgets in Play Store that may work with Eclipse...not sure I haven't tried any of them.

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

Build 7 (found on NItro's website) is 4.3, MK2 build. The ROM is almost flawless. I say "almost" because I found one very minor theme tweak that needs to be fixed. Other than that one minor tweak the ROM is smooth, fast, and great battery. As for OTA, if you have a custom ROM on your phone and a custom recovery (safestrap in your case) an OTA should not install successfully...installation should fail. However, you can disable a couple services in Titanium Backup (can't remember which ones) that will essentially disable OTA updates. Keep in mind that if you root the only custom recovery available to you is Safestrap and you can only flash Touch Wiz ROMs at this time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gt5oh:
Do you know of any lock screen "luanchers" that I can try?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djgdroid:
Great info.Jpcalhoun. This is probably a dumb questions, but that's how I learn. How do I find Nitro's website so I can get the build 7? Also, I've seen Safestrap mentioned several places but not sure what that is. Is it in replace of TWRP or CWM? Thanks so much for your help!

I think this is the website but if you cold help me understand safestrap I'd appreciate it

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jpcalhoun:
Not sure what you mean by a lock screen launcher. Eclipse comes with the Nova Launcher. I use Apex Launcher and it has some customization for the Lock Screen. I'm sure Nova does also. There is a widget called Dashboard that allows some customization of the Lock Screen but I couldn't get it to work right on Eclipse so I uninstalled it.

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

Here is Nitro's website: http://www.elementalxdesigns.com/eclipse/forumdisplay.php?57-Galaxy-S4-Development. You'll find all his work and links to his ROMs there. Build 7 is his latest TW ROM which allows for SafeStrap installation, but you need to read all the threads about Build 7 because some folks have problems downloading and installing Play Store apps after flashing build 7. I haven't been keeping up with the SafeStrap user's threads so I don't know if they've found a fix or not.

SafeStrap is a custom recovery of sorts much like CWM and TWRP. For your build and bootloader it is the only way for you to flash ROMs and they must be TW ROMs. If you've never used SafeStrap I'd recommend doing some research and reading up on it. Many users prefer SafeStrap because it does not replace your "stock" ROM when you flash a custom ROM like Eclipse. It sets up a partition in your internal memory and flashes the custom ROM onto that partition leaving your "stock" partition in place and undisturbed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djgdroid:
Thank you jpcalhoun so much for your help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jpcalhoun:
I updated a previous post with some SafeStrap info, please read.

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

No problem. There is a thread in the Question and Answers (I think it's in Q&A) that list the TW ROMs that you can flash with SafeStrap.

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

Here's where you can find which ROMs you can flash with SafeStrap...it's not in Q&A, lol: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448726. There is some other good information about SafeStrap in that thread also.

So I took the plunge and install v7 in Rom Slot 1 via SS. I was able to get everything working, app store, paid apps, etc... I have an issue now with internal storage. If I look at the storage on the device, it shows that 14.xx gb is being used by system memory under Miscellaneous. Has anyone else experienced this and know how to clean it up. Currently, I cannot move any apps to SD due to no available space. I have a 32 gb SD card inserted. Any help would be appreciated.

Fix for Appstore apps not installing

Some have said they got it to work. Personally I havent gotten to work, but I may have done it wrong. Heres the fix for the appstore links for those XDA exclusive users:

With File Manager, I first enabled Root Access Mode, then I went to /system/app and renamed the existing/original "DefaultContainerService.apk" to "[OG]DefaultContainerService.apk". After that, I moved the new/downloaded DefaultContainerService.apk to /system/app, set both permissions to "00000 - root" and checked the correct permission boxes.

This solution was provided by user wryun over in Nitro's forums.

My personal input: I used a stock DefaultContainerService.apk and it still did not fix it. That May also be the reason it didnt work. Apparently he is going to update his rom to address this issue along with multiple other issues this week. So try and fix or wait it out. your choice.

Wireless Charging Sound

Hi Nitro,

Not sure if you seen my above post... I am wondering if you removed any coding from your rom to disable the wireless charging sound? I see the sound file is there but it doesn't seem to make any sound when placing upon the charger. I tried looking around and searching XDA, Google, etc for a code string that would enable/disable this feature but couldn't find anything... At first I thought it may have been something that I done with changing some other stuff, but I tested with a fresh flash and still didn't get sound. Could you point me in a direction to possibly get this back to working? I really love your rom, it is light and fast and love the AOSP theming.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aleggsue:
Build 7 will boot on MJ7 as well as MK2. He might just be messing something up.

All, not trying to police this thread but I have read through several pages of problems related to recoveries and also problems after users have tried to edit or add mods to Nitro's rom. Also pages of people going back and forth over non Eclipse issues.

Please try to stay on topic and it will make it a lot easier to find the real issues so that Nitro can work on them. If you add a mod and it messes up your phone then that is on you. We all know the risk we take. Please don't report your bugs here for mods that you are making yourself. I see a lot of problems that the user are introducing not the rom itself.

Remember there is always a Q&A section :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SmokeyMon:
I mean no disrespect, I am new here but I find this a bit discouraging. I did not know you should not discuss mods here. It seems quite logical to discuss the success of various mods with a like user base. I also felt like the posts were clear that Mods caused the issues. I do take your point about the thread becoming cluttered. At any rate, as i previously stated I am new, so thanks for the knowledge.

This is clearly a dominant ROM!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] imablackhat:
Used GPS today worked fine. 1.1 clean.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Travisdroidx2:
This was not meant to discourage users. If you want to mod the rom and ask a bunch of questions that is what the Q&A section is for. This is android development. We should be staying on topic about Nitro's rom and not what we the user are doing to it. If you want to mod the build start a post in General or Q&A. For example in Q&A " Running eclipse 1.1 and want to use 3minit any ideas or suggestions"

This will help with the clutter on this thread and keep it easier to help people that are actually looking for help with Nitro's Rom.

Even the pages about what Kernel are you using. That could also go in Q&A. I use the kernel that Nitro packs into the Rom because I trust he there is a reason why he did so.
