When you think about it, how often do you make a Nandroid?

If often, yeah, that may be an issue.

But if once in awhile, it doesn't matter to me. Comes down to personal preference sometimes ;)

But as long as TWRP works for you, it's all good.

TWRP worked great for me for months, until I started flashing ROMs with Aroma :eek:

Dont know what is going on but everytime I try and flash it aroma dont start goes through a few steps and says successful but nothing happens did factory reset and restarted didnt do anything.. i have been flashing for awhile never ran in

To this problem just doesnt seem like my recovery is working just updated twrp still nothing pls help..

Ive been im on every update with alpha just cant update currently on 8.0

S4 is confused!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
From what I have read, I see the following:

- from the last successful ROM flash, to the most recent Successful ROM flash, the Recoveries you have used are different.

Try using the Recovery that yielded your successful flash of Alpha 8.0.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] abalosmusic:
Got a question. Since this ROM is an mga rom which is a i9505 international ROM, then that means themes like domination(which is meant for i9505 Roms) should work for it right? Tried this many times with numerous FC's anyone know what's the issues?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Current Alpha 8.5 ROM is based on the most current I9505 Firmware, which is MH1.

As for the conflict re fc, I'm not sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cantenna:
Agrred i prefer Philz recovery. Its top notch, never have and problems at all with my GS4. I have tried TWRP, nothing but problems for me. Cant speak for other phones. Just not for me. Maybe they have fixed it with an update since i last tried (in june) but im not willing to be as adventurous with my recovery flashing as i am with my rom flashing. philz recovery just works and there really is no need for me to change or update. Highly recomend.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
I think it doesn't work because some things are modified and could also possibly interfere with 3minig frameworks. The settings in this app are modified with embedded infamous tools so that might affect the theming as well.

Not really sure what's going on but does any one else phone gets into deep sleep? It happened once last night after browsing the Internet then turned the display off for about 30 mins and one time when I got up this morning to take it off the charger. I keep pressing the power button or the home key to wake it up but this morning I went ahead and pulled the battery. Haven't done it again so far, but phone does get hot all the time, even when I browse the Internet like now! Not sure if the network has something to do with the deep sleep (area just started lte 2 nights ago) or the hot issue, cause it changes from lte 2 bars to 4g 3-4 bars in my house. I'm on 8.6 and never had the issue on previous builds before with all stock kernel settings (bioshock)

I believe the issue is related to the current 3Minit Framework.

[MENTION=729357]Jamison[/MENTION]: GREAT ROM!! I have been ffollowing your work since I upgraded. Love the stableness and speed of Alpha and been stuck on 7.3 for a short time since I like the lightning and dark theme. Anyways, I tried installing the lightning lockscreen after updating to alpha 8.6 and at first reboot everything was fine. But after the next reboot my phone got stuck on the samsung galaxy s4 boot screen. Rebooted same. Wiped cache, dalvick cache same. Wiped preloeader along with the caches... same. As a last resort I wiped data and it booted right away but, of course I needed to restore my last backup so I did. But as it rebooted it got stuck again. Is there some incompatibility with the lockscreen mods with 8.6 that forced me to odin back to stock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Alpha 8.6 didnt have any Lockscreen options as 8.5 and prior versions did.

Flashing lockscreen mods from previous versions to 8.6 would create issues as you've experienced, if I understand your post correctly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Yes. Frameworks are different.

But if you have 8.6 reflashed and are up and running flash this and you'll have the lightening lockscreen ;)

https://copy.com/MZwfP

Why you got stuck on the splash screen after restoring your back up... It was probably just a fluke. Should of booted fine unless for some reason the back up didn't restore properly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Carlos2200:
Yeah, figured that. Thank you both for the replies. Going to reflash later 8.6 tonight as right now I am waiting for a call.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
May I suggest the link in my sig, which includes installing PhilZ Touch Recovery.

I posted extensively about the issues I was having flashing ROMs with Aroma while using TWRP 2.5.0.2 Recovery. TWRP was issue free until it met Aroma. While TWRP 2.5.0.2 does work well for others, for those of us where it doesn't, the fingerprint is Samsung splash freezes, Aroma choices not being installed, partial installs of certain features, chosen galleries missing, certain solutions working, and then when the same symptoms occur, the dsame solution doesn't work, ODINing back to stock more than one should have to, etc. .

While the above symptoms can be indicative of causes other than Recovery, when the issues are constant, and most other causes have been ruled out, and the solutions are illusive, I suggest to ODIN to Samsung Stock Firmware and install PhilZ Touch Recovery.

PhilZ Recovery pays particular attention from the transition of the Recovery to Booting of the device, after the installation of the ROM and Aroma handing off to Recovery, prior to Boot ;)

Edit:

Btw, even though it is not necessary, and the extSdCard is not touched, whenever I ODIN back to Stock, and ODIN a custom recovery, I always safety remove my extSdCard prior to starting the above. I do this just in case Murphy pays me a surprise visit.

I don't want to be in a situation when I'm saying "Hey, that wasn't supposed to happen."

If you have your extSdCard backed up, you're also covered.

which zram zip are you referring to?

I have followed your instructions as I understood them n I'm getting a notification that I'm running a non zram module enabled kernel...

I'm on BioShock n 8.0 alpha...

but I flashed the busy box zip. rebooted. set zram to on in trickster and clicked set on boot n rebooted to make sure it stuck. installed 1.1e apk n then it recognized busy box(so no message the others pictured again) but then it gets super user rights and pops up with the notification about a non compatible/non zram module enabled kernel....which is just silly cause BioShock is a tw based zram enabled kernel....

so is this zip in your instructions(bolded in quote) referring to just the busy box zip or one of the scripts listed in the op post in the other thread? cause currently all the zip scripts in that op post are now for the current apk1.2..

so would this work with the older app or do you have a copy you could email me of the 1.1 scripts?

n sorry to clutter the thread Jamison...but this would be a promising integration with your roms n kernels from the sound of it.... any chance on writing with the creator to bring it into future versions as an option?

I went ahead and installed the Beanstalk rom. It was super fast as I expected. The proximity sensor did work as usual but the radio signal wasn't great.
