I'm pretty happy with what I have. I waited until I was out of work incase I borked the phone. I dirty flashed it overtop Scott's 1.6.5 Odex and I haven't had a single issue yet. Hotspot worked flawlessly without checking subscription or anything.

The only thing that I wish would leave is the Pull down wifi notification and all the icons at the top. Other than that, this is solid. Thanks gatesjunior!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
Thanks for posting this gates!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gatesjunior:
No problem, you guys are welcome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gatesjunior:
Good news man and thanks..

Just flashed the cobalt theme, and it's working perfect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Must have missed this - is the Picture-in-Picture feature known to not work?

When I try it the PIP window opens, and shows an image of the front camera, but then the screen freezes for a bit until there is a "beep" and it refreshes the image and freezes again, and repeats.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DaMadOne:
Confirmed working. Backed up ME7 Launcher with TiBu and flashed the 5x5 launcher mod from MDK. Not sure what kind of updates if any Samsung made to the ME7 version but the MDK version seems to be working fine.. hopefully we can get an ME7 version before long.

On a completely other note I have some thoughts and questions for you guys. I am coming from a droid bionic and have been running AOKP on it and my other devices for a while so TW is a whole new animal for me. Having the 5x5 launcher is a big improvement but coming from Nava Launcher it takes way too many actions to complete what I would consider basic house cleaning and organization.. not to mention I can do many more rows/columns with Nova. So the question is what things am I missing that make people like TW so much? The whole air gesture thing sounds cool.. but it really works kind of half a$$ed. Is there a calibration setup that I just haven't seen? or is it just something that you get better at if you use it? And in general what advantages are there to TW over plain old AOSP? I know especially that last question is very subjective but I wouldn't mind some quick input. Not trying to start any arguments.. just quick input as I am not trying to derail the thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mayze23:
I'm having the same issue. This along with smart stay & smart scroll not working. Everything else seems to be fine

Wow, just noticed this as well!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Capp5050:
Not sure if this helps, but I'm running rooted stock MDK, and recently added ktoonsez' kernel. The kernel is amazing so far, but it did in fact break Smart Stay, scroll, and the dual-camera mode.

Point being, that I think its kernel related.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gatesjunior:
Correct...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Did you mean looking into all three (including camera)? :)

It's too early to say this really, since I've only been running the ROM for a bit, but battery life in the very short term so far seems to be better than MDK.

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

FYI - I'm running the stock kernel included w/the ROM, which I believe is the same w/MDK.

I'm having the same issue w/the camera and PIP.

Is there a way to remove the e911 icon other than editing the systemUI.apk? This leaves an awkward gap in the icons and I assume that the MDK mod won't work.

If that was not written for ME7 I wouldn't try it.

It may work but you are asking for trouble.

The SystemUI.apk is different.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JFazYankees:
That's the MDK mod. It'll most likely cause a boot loop.

+gatesjunior, great ROM thank you for posting it for us. I really admire the way you keep posting about how the additions from the community makes us all stronger, faster, and better.

I have been running DS since it was posted. Just a couple of things I have tried and would like to report for others:

TruelyClean 1.6 works without any problems that I have seen. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/remove-all-the-bloatware-from-your-samsung-galaxy-s-4/

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JFazYankees:
Ok. Just give me a little bit to change back the LTE icon (I changed it) and make sure it works on the deodexed ROM version (I odexed my phone after ROM install).

Edit: Doesn't work on deodex. Fixing it now...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
Easier yet, here is a vr theme that will change the icon only.

It will not over write your systemUI so any changes you may have made won't be effected.

I have attached the file as well as a revert file - flash in recovery.

NOTE... This is a temporary hack, it simply replaces the icon with a blank icon, you will have a gap where it is supposed to go.

It will suffice until someone does it the correct way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JFazYankees:
Thanks, just saved me a good amount of test-flashing!

Notification Icons

I have an install zip that replaces the stock notification icons with a much nicer set. I have just searched all over and can't find the original post and link, but I used this with the MDK ROMs. Since these are put into the systemui.apk can someone tell me if that has changed in the me7 rom? I found Darkslide when Scott announced that he was no longer working on his rom and so far Darkslide has been working perfectly for me and I don't want to mess it up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JFazYankees:
SystemUI.apk has changed slightly. It most likely won't work unless specifically built for ME7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rwc95:
I just updated that thread with a V4 fast version it makes page flipping and scrolling a bit faster than stock :)

Can someone add 4way reboot? Sketchy to add the framework from CLEAN ROM and hacked touchwiz launcher for fast scrolling? I had it working but since the launcher was from MDK the status bar is not transparent
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Absolutely - just wanted to explicitly confirm that you noted that I was having PIP issues w/the stock kernel as well. I've been around this community way to long to ask for an ETA. I've even stopped asking my wife when dinner will be ready. ;)

Thanks for your work on this, much appreciated.

Its right Here. quite a few pages back. Go through the pages real quick there has been quite a few mods specifically for ME7 posted. Keep it up guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcusblade:
I am having a strange issue. I have been running this rom for a couple of days now with no problems whats-so-ever. But today I decided to flash a couple of mods to see if they would work. I did a nandroid backup first. So the mods did not work so I decided to restore my backup. Everything seems to be working fine, other then every five minutes or so I get a message in the notification bar saying "Detection information". When I click on this item I get a message that says to protect your device, it is recommended you reboot. Once I reboot the message keeps coming back. I am unsure if this is a rom thing or not. Anyone have this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Yup - and some of them have been posted to the apps and themes forum as well, identified as VRUAME7 mods:

Interesting, thanks for sharing this info, guys. I also created a backup of this ROM just in case, and assumed I could nandroid back to it if needed.

Did either of you try wiping caches or wiping data to see if that removed the warning?

---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

No issues here - I assume as long as you warned them in the OP anyone who needs Knox could just rename them back and reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mettee:
I have tried everything I can think of, no luck. I even had the weather widget mess up the screen timeout, just doing weird stuff for me. I am not more than a novice at this stuff so I could be adding the apks wrong. But I can do it just fine on the MDK rom so who knows, something is different that causes stuff to break.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsangwc:
Maybe try installing CWM if you have TWRP or vice versa. It may help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Never tried, but can CWM can restore a TWRP nandroid, or vice-versa? Wasn't aware that they both used the same format.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mettee:
I used TWRP when I first rooted, then I moved to OUDHS and that seems to work the best for me...What are you thinking that the problem might be?

I have been trying to modify this stock rom by adding pop up browser, and the clear accuweather widget, but that breaks something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rwc95:
Here are a couple more zips for you guys. One removes just the dim smart stay eye that always stays on so that it will only flash on when phone is looking for you. The other removes both the dim eye and the bright one so nothing shows up even when its looking for you. They are vrtheme zips so they only blank those icons out wont effect other mods made to work just fine with my ongoing wifi removal mod. Just flash in recovery and reboot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryno77:
I think those of us who stayed on mdk are extremely lucky. Hopefully those who updated to ME7 official get root, recovery and bootloader bypass of some sort but right now I feel pretty lucky to be on this rom with the ability to switch if I want. My phone is running fantastic on this rom! Much better than rooted stock....I guess that's where I am still but this update must have had some effect on speed and smoothness.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Prowelder:
Any one have an idea why I keep getting the "device detected an application trying to access unpermitted...." every 5 minutes?

I installed Darkslide, and now every time I reboot I get a screen which says "Custom" and a picture of a padlock, then it boots.

I see this custom screen even when booting TWRP.

I restored my nandroid backup of Cyanogenmod, and it still appears when booting.

I restored the older MDK modern firmware, and it still appears when booting.

I purchased triangle away, and it still appears when booting.

Somehow, eventually, the custom with padlock screen has disappeared.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BigJermZ:
So I have been trying for several hours to install this rom + mods, what I have found is that the rom installs fine but the mods are giving issues. The ongoing wifi, the smart eye, and the phone theme tend to either boot loop the device or cause com.android.phone to crash when activating. The combination was bad....i had to format my data as it was failing to wipe cache etc.. with just the rom, the blue theme for the status and the calculator ONLY it seems to be working fine for now. Been on for only a couple minutes

EDIT: The calculator theme somehow removed the app, so back to just the plain rom i go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] artjrv:
I have to agree the battery life is amazing! I work 12 hour shifts and at the end of my shift I have about 70 percent battery left! Granted I don't use the phone the entire time at work but I have all of data turned on...check emails...get on web on my breaks....just amazing!
