I'm using the darkslide rom with the latest darkslide kernel. Just to note if you do flash this rom flash the Wallet mod immediately after flashing the rom. Boot up the phone, the continue the steps and all will be well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
Got it. I'll take your word for it. I'm uploading my pics to Google drive and already have my apps backed up using titanium backup. Here goes nothing.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
You'll be good, just flash the tw wallet mod right after you flash the rom. The new kernel allows for pip and smart stay to work. It's an overall better experience as it's a tad faster than mdk.

Got everything up and running but then i flashed the 4 way reboot menu deodexed file and now im bootlooping. I'm sure its the zip because it was intended for MDK and not ME7. Is there a zip file for ME7 deodexed 4 way reboot menu?

gatesjunior slimmed the ROM down.

This is pulled from the ME7 base I posted.

Sorry I probably should have linked it for you anyway. I assumed you had the file already. But I see Andy has supplied it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
Ok got the 4 way boot menu zip and flashed. All is running well so far. Only bug I noticed was when the phone is off and you plug into charger, the phone freezes and you have to manually pull the battery to restart. I think this was brought up already but if not I'm posting here.

Going through my apps to check now any issues, but so far this rom is great!

You are right that was posted here and is a bug I experienced when I was running this ROM. As far as I know there is no fix as yet. I got in the habit of leaving the phone on when charging to work around.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Andybones had tried flashing that kernel last week and had confirmed that pip and smart stay was broken with it. Confirm if you could when you have a minute.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobby janow:
On the stock kernel, the one installed with the rom, PIP and Smart stay do not work. I flashed the Elite kernel and it works although some have said there is some power problem with it. I never let my phone run down to zero so I don't know about that aspect of it. This rom is really the best there is since there is no Aroma installer to screw up stuff. Most stuff you need to modify can be done with the xposed mods of nottach or wanam.

But my question is, what the heck does PIP do? It kind of gets in the way of my pics and I can't really see a use for it. Not yet anyway. :silly:

The only way all the features work for me are using ktoons or the elite kernel. The 8-4 dated elite kernel runs really well for me. Anthony is the only one I can recall from reading that has this stuff working on stock mdk kernel. There may have been others but I tried the kernel he posted no go for me either. Wish someone could figure it out because I prefer stock kernels. The elite works well the only bug is it won't charge off or something like that but I always leave my phone on and never let it run all the way down so not an issue for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
Yes so far the elite kernel breaks the charging animation when powered off. You can still charge when your phone is on. I rarely turn off my phone, but when I do I'd like for the charging animation to work too. Just wondering if anyone knows if a fix is coming our way.

Anyone have gwallet working with this rom? I break my nfc every time I run the mod
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
I do. It happened to me when I first flashed this rom. Uninstall Google wallet first. Wipe cache, dalvik cache, reflash the rom. When all is back in order then perform the steps for Google wallet hack to work. I can confirm all is working once you redo the wallet hack. But make sure you wipe your cache first like I stated because as of now your nfc is acting up. Better to start from scratch and set things up right in one go. Let me know how it goes.

You may have to do a full wipe first. If you do a full wipe then add your data back, check to see if the nfc us working. I knew mine was acting up when the toggle kept switching on and off. When I did a full wipe and reinstalled my data, I checked my nfc toggle and it was a steady off. Then proceeded with the Google wallet install. Hope this helps.

It's too bad that this rom seems to be dieing. I've used a number of the other me7 roms but this one just runs better for me than the others I've tried. The OP posted some time ago that he reads the posts and mentioned a new ("never done") thing for an upcoming version. But, since then he's disappeared, doesn't seem to respond to or be a part of his own rom community.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
Just adding my $0.02 to the above. Just like any stock rom, improvements are always around the corner.

Since I installed this rom, I have for the most part a great experience. But I have also noticed some quirks that I cannot determine if its a bug with the ME7 rom, or some apps :

1) When placing 2 calls, one on hold and one active, I tried to switch between calls but nothing happens

when using spotify,

2) I always have my music downloaded to the phone. Every three days or so, there is always songs that end up missing or in the middle of a download. Always have to redownload certain songs. This was not happening on MDK firmware, so I'm not sure if its spotify or darkslide.

3) Trying to connect my phone to my computer via bluetooth seems impossible. It worked on MDK, but now I cannot connect to the computer via bluetooth. I can sync my headset and other devices to it. But not my computer. Again, not sure if its Darkslide ME7 or something else interfering with the pairing sequence.

Does anyone have similar experiences as I highlighted above?

For now, the e911 icon can only be removed by replacing the icon with a 1 pixel x 1 pixel transparent .png inside SystemUI.apk. It will leave a gap between icons however. As for the wifi notification, the creator of the previous mod said he will update it for use on this ROM when he gets a chance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
Nice work on this...

I flashed after a clean wipe and factory reset and everything works as it should.

Couldn't wait to try this.

A couple of things to note:

When trying to add any mods do a backup first, there are a lot of mods that will not work on this rom and will cause a boot loop or other problems.

Exposed framework/nottach is working for me, I'm sure there are some functions that do not work but I have themed my Quick Settings icons and background, Notification dropdown, removed the clock from the status bar and hidden the alarm and smart stay icons. Setting the torch to work using the volume up button when the screen is off also works (very handy)

Be careful with battery mods, the batteries are named differently (32 icons including charging icons) in SystemUI.

The call recording mod breaks the phone, you will have no signal and the phone will force close.

Apps 2 sd works for any apps that support it, in fact I was pleasantly surprised when I installed Trial Xtreme 3 and 60+ meg automatically went to the sdcard :D

So far I am impressed, this is really a nice rom!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JFazYankees:
I have no idea why this works, but install Triangle Away and inside the app select Reset flash counter. Hit continue and read the next popup. Press continue and wait for the phone to boot into download mode (odin mode). Then press and hold the power button for 10 seconds. The phone will boot to the Triangle Away flash counter reset screen. Press volume down to reboot. The custom boot screen will be gone.

Gatesjunior (or other knowledgeable member) - can you verify what changes in this ME7 ROM stick around if you flash it, and then wipe and flash an MDK-based ROM? (Excluding the modem, which is not included in custom ROMs.)

The camera update in ME7 has been referred to as a FW update, so I would assume that would be persistent across ROMs. Is that correct (or is the term FW being used loosely), and are there other pieces (e.g., related to BT fixes, or other changes in ME7) that are persistent even if someone wipes and flashes back to an MDK ROM?

Thanks...

The camera sticks as well as obviously the radio update. The Bluetooth fixes are part of the update, so they do not stay..
