Thanks bro, I have some master themers helping me out, PRdog1 from sg3 forums my great friend, is helping me with AOSP theme I gave up on it lets hope he can save us!

I know he can.. he is genius

also gives me time to work on actual dev stuff.

donations going his way if he gets this for us, sg4 is HARD to theme!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Protibus:
This is correct, front and back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
Um, front and back works perfectly fine for me, while taking pictures while on video is diabled for me.

and im on the stock kernel.

so PIP = pictures while taking video
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Protibus:
PIP = Picture in Picture. Front facing camera and back camera. Puts postage stamp photo grom front camera within pic from back camera.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
Well that's weird, cuz it works for me! Stock rom btw.

Edit: oh okay i see what you mean, after a while it bugs out and slows down like a lot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Protibus:
No PIP doesn't work with the stock kernel. But battery and performance is far better with the stock kernel than with a custom kernel. Myself I would rather have better performance than a feature I would seldom use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 93foxgt:
Agreed the included kernel with this rom is blazing fast and has excellent battery life. Cant go wrong with that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mettee:
I had some weird network connectivity issue today and I can't figure it out. I could speed test to 40mbps down_and 16 up, but things like Pandora and email refresh would not load... Even after a reboot. I'm wondering if I should go back to the mdk radio/modem.

Anybody have any issues like this?

Rom is still full beast mode, loving it over the rest, I tried em all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jaxon01:
Your speed test results tell me there is absolutely nothing wrong with your radio/modem. All pipelines of the Internet are not always running wide open. Sometimes congestion/overload will cause slower speeds on data transfer that is routed through the affected pipeline(s). I have not kept up with it over the years, but there used to be 4 major pipelines in the US. All data in the US was routed through at least one of those pipelines.

Does this ROM have GApps included?

If not, is there a link?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 93foxgt:
They are included.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
Is this rom Deodexed or Odexed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Protibus:
Deodexed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrKleen1:
This rom is very nice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Hopefully he can read the answer.

Everyone, please, at least, read the OP before asking such questions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
So I installed this and it booted up just fine... Added my accounts and when I reboot it just hangs at the Galaxy S4 screen and wont load. Does anyone know what I have done wrong? This is happening on both of my S4's :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
My only guesses are 1) bad downlod or 2) bad flash. If you verfied the MD5 I'd suggest just a reflash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Is anyone having any Hulu plus issues?

I'm having errors trying to play back some TV episodes and trailers. Not consistent, some content works, some doesn't. On hold with Hulu support now, and wanted to see if someone can confirm Hulu is working fir them. I'm on the stock mdk kernel.

Also tried ktoonsez kernel, no change.

Thanks!

Does anyone know if you have to be formatted exfat for ME7 ROM's???? I have a 64gb fat32 card and it flashes OK, but apps don't seem to be moving to the sdcard. Also get an "unable to move - card full" error msg with any manual move.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shockz:
Alright no need to be rude. I did read it first, I skipped over it. I now see it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
FAT32 is fine for any ROM/kernel. I have a 64GB FAT32 SD card, works fine.

Tried rebooting, and/or unmount/remount card?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kublikon:
I highly recommend formatting your sd with system tools while its in your phone. I had all kinds of issues with mine until i reformatted inside phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
I agree with here. Formatting on the phone took care of my problems as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
Heck, when I first got my sd card, i just put it in the phone and voila. No problems ever since
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
There seems to be a lot of variability here...maybe depends on card brand, formatting, where formatted, definitely a YMMV situation.

I got a 64GB card with a Samsung NAND, have had zero issues with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jaxon01:
A lot of cards sold on ebay are counterfeit and are not very reliable. There is a reason they are cheap.

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tkacer:
Currently using OUDH's CWM recovery which doesn't support exfat - that's why I formatted fat32 in the 1st place. Might have to give TWRP a whirl.

Downloaded a few apps - this is what app mgr shows on sd card - again - when I try to move it I get the same error msg.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tkacer:
Yep - tried both and no change. You have no issues with AOSP ROM's/kernels on exfat?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] matt1733:
I flashed the spell check mod but I dont see any difference is there something I have to enable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] matt1733:
thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Haven't run any AOSP ROMs on the S4. First time ever that I've stayed with stock on one of my phones, and haven't run CM.

If you want max SD card compatibility, go to FAT32. exFAT is proprietary, and isn't as broadly supported.

Your current problems, assuming you're running the stock MDK kernel, are due to some other issue, as the stock MDK (and ME7, for that matter) kernel does support exFAT.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stauf99:
Big big problem or one time fluke

so let me start off by saying clean install, same kernal, only root access app installed is FasterFix (GPS mod), and only thing flashed is Transparent Weather app. (If there's any other info i can provide let me know)

So today I was driving from small town Missouri, US to other small town Missouri, US 100 miles away and was using Navigation.

Most of the drive involved driving through middle of nowhere, Missouri, US. About halfway through I noticed a triangle in my notifications and i saw that it was a roaming thing which seemed really weird to me cause i never even left the same state.

When i pressed on it a menu opened but only the title displayed, there were no options. Then force close.

After some googling to find the right settings it seems my phone was never set to accept roaming so i think i'm good as far as my bill goes, but I really don't like this crashing, it kinda scares me.

Don't think i can test this again because i don't plan on making any trips through this middle of nowhere for the foreseeable future
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
Wait, a ROM that has blocking mode fully working? Now this has caught my interest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
The Best!

Andy, this is just to confirm that your ROM is still THE BEST!

I was checking some new ME7 built ROMs on the market (like RLS8.1) and can confirm that BoneStock is still the most smooth and stable ROM.

:good::victory:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
You are right. I should have kept my thoughts to myself. Not sure what came over me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Thank you for enjoying this ROM! :)

Easy to do isn't it?

I appreciate all your help lately, it's taken quite a bit of stress away from me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
It does :)

took very long for me to port this MOD back to use, hope you enjoy it and

Hope you enjoy the ROM, a lot went into making it smooth and not boggled down with useless tweaks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
To share my experience... when I installed this I may have made 2 mistakes. First off i was on the pre-release kernel. Second, I did a factory reset and a data wipe in twrp. Not sure what the culprit was but it ended with the boot process hanging at sgs4 boot screen on both of my new s4's on the second boot. Very stressful.

Solution. I used odin to reflash the stock mdk factory image here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2289325

Then I rooted again making sure to flash the stock kernel after root, flashed custom recovery, then installed bone stock without wiping anything.

Just thought I would throw that out there. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
This ROM flashes kernel for you.. so whatever you had previously this ROM over-wrote it.

wipe, flash, profit :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
yup, thats what i figured. So then it must of had to do with wiping the data partition then. Regardless, its rocking ballz now ;) thanks for the rom btw!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mochamoo:
I can't seem to get the multi window to work right. I can get 2 apps to run (say Hangouts and Plume). But the resize window crashes. Also when trying to edit the sidebar I can't drag unwanted apps over. I get error that "com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService has stopped". Clean install, stock kernel. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] _Gir_:
I did not have any issues when I factory reset and wiped data with TWRP 2.5.0.2. :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cleskers:
Any secret to getting the home button to wake device? Or am I missing something?

Wow.. Never mind. Found it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Oh... well I used 2.6.0.0... maybe thats my problem. It really does not work very well. Long wait times after installing something... when you boot into recovery it hangs for awhile and sometimes locks up requiring you to pull the battery, etc... 2.5.0.2 give you any of these problems?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JaeKay:
I did find 2.6.0.0 to be slow and buggy compared to 2.5.0.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Protibus:
I was using 2.6.0.0 and had those same lag and hang isdues. Flashed 2.5.0.2 and find much better performance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mikekid7:
Still running great. Keep up the good work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Just flashed cwm and recovery is working fine again. I like twrp but thats kinda a bummer the latest version goomanger pushes you is flawed and buggy.

I consider myself a pretty well versed android user and I about $h1t my pants when i thought i hosed my 2 new s4's flashing this. Didnt even enter my mind that it would be related to the recovery image...

Anyhow, i recommend staying away from 2.6.0.0 twrp all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] matt1733:
Having the same problem with the sidebar where it doesn't let me edit it and wont let me drag in the apps, when i try to put different apps they just don't stay in the sidebar and show up as different apps. I've looked around and re flashing the Rom seems to be the only way to fix it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] _Gir_:
Like the others said 2.5.0.2 is much more stable. Simply flash the 2.5.0.2 from the 2.6.0.0 recovery like you do any other file and you'll be golden. The only (very minor) issue I have is that I cannot make ME7 roms "fix permissions" (under advanced).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mochamoo:
I have reflashed over existing install and cleared cache/dalvik cache. Still no luck. At least I'm not the only one. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] matt1733:
sidebar error

yea it looks a clean install is the only way to fix it but Im not willing to reset everything at this point:eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mochamoo:
I just clean installed this a few days ago and hadn't noticed this issue until today. (Didn't use the sidebar until now. ) so not sure that a clean install will fix. Guess I just won't use it for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fletch33:
i hadnt used it but thought i would check for you and when i open it and scroll it already has all my apps in there when i scroll it. i removed a couple for testing and they stayed out of it.

think i may try and use it more to see how i like it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] popkurn611:
That's my problem, I never remember to use it! Its such a cool feature but I never use the sidebar BC I forget its there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stauf99:
Clean install, love Love LOVE this rom!

I used call blocking last night and it was BEAUTIFUL! I'm so grateful ABones! :laugh:

I'm hoping you can bring back some things that worked well before I flashed this rom.

All with the Nottach Xposed mod

I miss being able to put my own signature on the bottom of my pull down notifications, the transparent notification bar working all the time, and definitely being able to put the date on the notification bar (it's so nice to only take 0.5 to check it rather than spend 3 seconds to pull down the bar and see what it is).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdub251:
I can tell you with the utmost certainty that it was the formatting of data. When you flash twrp it writes a small file to data/data. I forgot the last directory. This file somehow talks to the loki boot. Trust me I have done this twice before and it required an Odin flash. The second time was to see if that was what caused it. I read the log in twrp to and seen io errors when the boot script was run. So I tell everyone. DO NOT FORMAT DATA ON INTERNAL MEMORY IN TWRP RECOVERY. IT WILL BOOM ONCE BUT AFTER THAT IT WILL REQUIRE AN ODIN FLASH. ODIN 2.6 DOES SUCK TOO BTW.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDude:
Cwm seems to handle fixing permissions and everything else just fine. Going to stay away from twrp for the time being.

Thanks for the info. Its good to get this out there for others new to the s4.

So I bought 2 new phones and requested the oldest inventory phones they had... happy to say I got the mdk firmware on both. At the store they fired them up and of course verizon instantly tried raping me with their new firmware. I confused the verizon rep when i pulled the batteries and instructed him to wrap things up ;) "dont want us to set these up for you" he asked lol. Anyhow, got home and immediately went to flash this rom with minimal reading/research. Being that i own several different s2 variants and 4 nexus 7's i felt confidant that it would be a breeze. I was more than disappointed when I thought I bricked both my new phones, and my wife was pretty pissed at me too... regardless, 1 xanax and 6 beers later all was well :) moral of my story is that the twrp should not be pushing out 2.6.0.0 recovery for this device in its current state... im still cleaning the crap out of my shorts....

Interesting...I've wiped data three or four times w/TWRP 2.6.0 on my S4 and have never had any issues. There appears to be some variability to this issue. I'd still agree that folks should use the previous version since there's no way to tell if you'll get hosed on 2.6.0 until you try it. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mochamoo:
What version of CWM are people using with their S4s? I've been using TWRP but restores on my old galaxy nexus failed regularly (good thing I had Titanium Backups that worked).

I used the aroma recovery installer http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2398311&highlight=aroma+recovery+installer to wipe and install the TWRP2.50 back. I was then able to install bonestock v. 1.1.3. All is good so far. I haven't been able to test the golf GPS yet, to see if it was the ROM or the new subscription of GolfLogix.

Why is it that you can't set live wallpapers while on nova launcher? I have to clear defaults of nova each time I want to set a live wallpaper on touchwiz launcher.

Also I noticed today that you can't set a separate live wallpaper from your lock screen. I want two different live wallpapers, one on my lock screen and the other on my home screen. When I set a live wallpaper for both screens, I then go into home screen live wallpapers and it says that the lock screen will be changed as well. I never remembered this happening on my s3

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] _Gir_:
Andy, I know this isn't on you per se, but it may be worth looking at as you gather a theme together.

I've had issues between the transparent status bar mod as listed at the beginning of this thread and the ME7 Bonestock theme found here .

Basically when I was playing around and reorganizing the toggles/quick settings, I would lose the transparent bar and it would go back to black. I could bring it back by playing with the quick settings some more.

When this happened the first time I reflashed the transparent status bar which as it turned out, broke the ME7 theme on the subsequent boot. So I had to reflash the theme as well and all was somewhat well. But basically, as long as I don't mess with the quick settings the bar seems to hold.

The built in ad blocking included in this ROM was keeping Hulu plus from working. It stopped playback as soon as it tried to play an ad.

I replaced the default host file with a blank one to fix it for now.

Is there a way to find out what lines I'd need to remove from the host file to enable Hulu to work without having to remove all the other ad blocking?

Loving this ROM, except for one minor detail - I really want to run Thumb Keyboard, but no matter what I enable/disable, it always reverts to the Samsung Keyboard within a couple hours. I've disabled everything related to Multi-Window, Motions and Gestures, Smart Screen, Air View, anything I can think of that might trigger the stock keyboard - but it still comes back every time. Did not experience this on MDK. Is there something I am missing?

Seems like anytime I get into a roaming situation (I'm sitting in Toronto airport right now) and select the notification for roaming access, the window opens up but it's blank and then phone app crashes. It doesn't clear on it's own either when not roaming anymore. I will have to reboot to get rid of the roaming notification when I land back in NYC. Thought it was a freak occurrence when it happened once last week but apparently not.

Not sure if this answers your question, but the easiest way that I've determined to set live wallpaper with this ROM using Nova, is to first switch over to TouchWiz launcher, select and configure your live wallpaper, then switch back over to Nova, and the live wallpaper should be working.

Ok I dont wanna be "that guy"... but I am gonna need to be "that guy".

I have only had a chance to read about the first... 15 pages or so of the thread. I did a search on "install" but really did not pull what I was looking for.

I am still fairly new to Flashing S4 phones (1.5 months on owning my device). So I was happy when I learned how to use ODIN. I have TWRP recovery installed and this is what I have used for the past few months on other phones (coming from a Razr Maxx HD... didnt get an unlocked bootloader till right before I tossed that phone.. and I had a DNA for a week lol). So I am seeing this "Aroma" thing now (new to me). And I am just flat out confused on how to install this Rom and I really want to try it. Can someone point me in the right direction. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed here. I have TWRP 2.5 (I guess there is a 2.6 now). Aroma looks to be an addon to the recovery or a recovery on its own (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2376548)? Sigh.

Again, just point me in the right direction, and I will read everything I need to. Thank you.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Morrolan:
One question; have you flashed a ROM before? If the answer is yes, just flash BoneStock 1.1.3. The menu will walk you through components to add. Don't worry about stuff like AROMA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Just to add a bit..

Aroma is just the installation framework the dev (and many do) chose to use. It allows you options on details about what gets installed. It is just like any flash but with options you can chose along the way.
