thanks man, and sorry about the xposed date problem.

so much changed in ME7 from MDK, it was not an easy time up-porting the ROM.

I personally don't use xposed, it is an amazing creation, don't get me wrong, but as a developer it kind of takes the fun away of doing the smali MODs.

One could technically make a ROM with just xposed MOD + stock base.

all depends on preference. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stauf99:
No problem, and thank you for keeping an open ear (eye?) and coding your fingers to the bone.

Be sure to wrap your hands around a cold one every once in a while, the community and your fingers will thank you.

I totally understand where you're coming from. That's why i thought you might like to throw it into rom control instead of just being like 'omfg, make it work with nottach stupid'.

Thanks again andy, your the best. don't forget to sleep.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
I'm updating another AOSP theme beta.

Me and [MENTION=4538493]prdog1[/MENTION] like to joke around that it's about 99.5% done.

It still has a few apps I haven't gotten to, like clock and browser, but really that's just the top header is still blue and not black, it'll come soon big thing is the contacts, which is the 99.5% done part.. There is a very odd bug with the contact's app, Prdog has done everything someone could ask someone to do without a device and it's incredible what he has done with this theme all by just looking at the coding. Absolutely Amazing.

Anyway, the icon for the contacts is.. not correct. Can't figure out why, it something from after he fixed the background I did my theming like I did from before he fixed the background and it's being a problem, and a very strange one at that, it's something I did, but makes no sense as to why as what I did was correct. I never use it anyway so I just hid it for now and I suggest the same, if you do use it, sorry.. but many hours were spent trying to fix it, and more will be, but I wanted to get this out as it's just so nice it needs to be shared. so Beta1 uploading now.

I'd say the theme overall is about 90% done.

basically I just need to finish browser, clock, and change the app icon for my files, small things and then the calendar is the one major app left, I may not even do if it's too much a pain.

but everything else, I am very happy with and hope you guys will be too.

One day I hope to call it 100% done and complete, soon.

apps that are themed:

calculator

clock icon - need to finish the rest

gallery

internet icon - need to finish the rest

messaging

myfiles - change icon

phone/dialer

settings - need to finish some icons

task manager

SystemUI.apk

she's fresh

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Morrolan:
Just a heads up. The contacts icon is transparent on my phone. I can see the +Person icon on white backgrounds, but not on colored or dark.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Please.. this is a BETA

don't tell me about the bugs..

AND I already mentioned the contacts icon bug.. did you not read it.. the icon isn't right..

once I release official then please tell me the bugs, until then trust me I AM AWARE, in-fact too much aware, it's getting to a point I need a break from the theme

I can't begin to explain the amount of hours prdog1 and myself put into this.

no one except those who do it can truly understand it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Morrolan:
To be honest, I did not see it within a wall of text on my phone. Formatting sucks sometimes with XDA. I sincerely apologize. I also made the mistake of flashing the wrong zip, so it's my bad all around. But hey, thank you for doing all of this. I know it's a big PITA. Just know that your work is very appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
You should know I like bustin' balls, :)

no need to apologize my friend.

:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tha5150:
Huge problem, someone please help me out..

No matter what ROM i install, i seem to have not successfully wiped everything time. Have tried 5 in 24 hours.

ROM on SD, reboot recovery.

wipe data /factory reset 3 times

wipe cache 3 times

wipe delvik 3 times

mount system - format data 3 times

install rom, reboot..

my same wallpaper is up, Pandora still in top left corner. This is the ONLY ROM out of 5 that Messaging, Email, Camera and Gallery do not force close when i try to open them up.

I need serious help.. Not too sure why i can not seem to get a clean install. I would love to get this solved tonight.. please help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Stauf99:
interesting problem....

not sure i can really help fix it but what i do to clean install is: wipe/factory reset once then wipe delvik once.

If need be you could odin back to mdk and start all over, that should definitely do it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rpoitras:
Did you format /system? Its under mounts and storage. You mentioned mounting system but formatting data, just checking.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tha5150:
Yes mounted then format. I am so confused how I keep bringing things over to the new ROMs and I have done it multiple times with same results. Anything else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
What recovery are you using?

What sdcard?

How is you sdcard formatted?

So far from what you have said, I would probably be trying a different recovery if it were me.

And as far as wiping, I have been doing this me many years and I never wipe anything more than one time.

I wipe system data (factory reset), wipe delvic cache and cache then flash the rom.

Sent from a Galaxy S4... Far far away
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tha5150:
Just flashed again. Same as before though I used ROM manager for clockwork. This has always been my recovery but been using twrp to reboot to recovery. I reinstalled clockwork and updated. Same exact thing happens. Even opened Chrome and was already on this page.

I would hate to Odin. Why the frik is this not doing a clean install!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] le0.br4zuc4:
I don't understand why Samsung doesn't add the quick reply/read/call to their mms app. It is hard to believe that Samsung always releases phone with new features but something as useful as that doesn't get incorporated to their app.

I would like to see if the Note 3 mms app has anything different than what we have in the S4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
Just reaching for straws here, but try unmounting data, remounting, then wipe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bullhead00:
How do you get the scrolling wallpaper on this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AustinS:
I love this rom, but I'm having one major issue. The sensor that recognizes my face when talking doesn't appear to work. After pulling it away from my face it doesn't turn back on. It also occasionally will just stay on when I'm talking and my face starts pressing buttons. Does anyone else have this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Been using this a long time (well, the phone is not THAT old yet) and can't say I've ever noticed this issue. Are you running the stock kernel? Any mods?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
+1

Never had this problem on any available kernel (well, tested them all :cool: ). Don't think it is ROM- or kernel-related. In good case - it can be some apk that causing this. In bad case - hardware problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
I agree as well. Hopefully a Nandroid was made prior to flashing BoneStock. I've flashed hundreds of times over the years and I had this problem once or twice.

Back up all user data and store on PC or Ext SD card

Flash factory image (wiping phone clean) and be careful not to accept VZW OTA update.

<<There is a way to flash without wiping data; results will vary though for squashing bugs.......>>

Root and install recovery.

Freeze VZW system app to stop update

Let phone settle in and see if problem is gone or still exists.

If problem is still present it is most likely a hardware issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] imablackhat:
question. It says smart stay and picture in picture don't work unless you flash a kernel?..so the stock me7 kernel doesn't allow this to work?.. I wanted to try this rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drbveb88:
You need to use the elite kernel for those features to work. Some say Kt kernel works as well but im on faux kernel v11 and smart stay is not working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
What are you guys using for dark contacts and dialer? Tired of looking at the stock white background in those apps...don't really want a theme to change everything, just those two apps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vprasad1:
Using 1.1.4. Anyone else having difficulty sideloading or installing apks outside of the Play Store? I'm finding that the install button doesn't work, but the cancel button works just fine. I have Settings - more - security - unknown sources ticked. Is there something else I should be looking at?

Along those lines, the Music app doesn't allow me to take off Shuffle mode, so I can't play any tracks in sequence. Any workaround?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zer0r:
Try ExDialer from Play Store. It allows to use a lot of themes, including native VZW Samsung light theme and Samsung dark theme (international version). And it is amazingly fast in compare to stock dialer. I am using it for few months without any problem.

---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

I had the same problem with AdjustScreen APK installed. After removing this APK - everything became normal. So I think - it is some apk is the cause.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
can give the AOSP theme a try, black contacts/phone thanks to [MENTION=4538493]prdog1[/MENTION] to EVER get it on ME7 ROM!

dude be a beast!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] prdog1:
You don't as far as I know unless there is an exposed module for it. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] imablackhat:
Is it like this for all me7 ROMs. Including stock ota?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
As far as custom ROMs, yes. If you install the full OTA (including the kernel) I would expect it all to work. Then again, you'd be stuck there so It's not something I would even consider..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] imablackhat:
Also noticed this. Cut off top right because of fonts and were in sept and it doesnt abbreviate.

If removed the lock it would solve

But this only happens if you use Samsung sans which I don't anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] imablackhat:
Delete.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rwc95:
Smart stay should work fine on faux kernel, I ran that with this ROM and everything works great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] imablackhat:
Faux fixes smart stay and pip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rwc95:
Yeah I ran the v11 kernel everything worked great and got great battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] imablackhat:
Thanks. Worked like a charm. Using this ROM plus faux plus reggie theme. It's awesome
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Thanks...I like the look of the phone overall, just want to darken contacts/dialer.

Could I pull the two apks from the theme and push them to system/apps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] prdog1:
Yup. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jpen:
Do you mind linking me to this faux kernel....I for some reason can't seem to find this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] HoosierDaddy2442:
I would like to download 1.1.4 but the speed is killing me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] imablackhat:
Yeah it would be nice to have this ROM on Android file host.

The faux kernel is in original development. Find it for the Verizon model. Stable release.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drbveb88:
This is the latest version 11 mainline.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] major payne:
Good Afternoon.

I did a search but did not find the exact answer i was looking for.

Currently with the ROM I'm using (cleanrom) I can use the Wifi Hotspot and it doesn't check to see if i really have that on my account. Does this ROM do the same. The only reason I'm looking for a new rom is that my Dev is no longer supporting his ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Should work the same.

Hopefully someone who uses it can confirm, though.:cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 318sugarhill:
I did a search but I didn't see any answers. I'm having problems with tethering. I turn on the hotspot app and I can connect fine with my iPad, but my Mac cannot get any data. It connects to the wifi signal, but I can't do anything. Not sure why the iPad works fine but not my Mac...or work laptop for that matter. ( old pos Dell)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] prdog1:
Has to have something to do with the settings or drivers of the mac and Dell. Saw the same thing with friends S4. Bought new laptop and worked fine. There is something different in the wifi tether interface between S3 and S4 pc driver wise. Worked with newer Dell and Samsung but not older Dell. S3 worked fine with all. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TCM55:
Works perfect for me :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] major payne:
Ok then, it looks like i need to decide if i want to upgrade to ME7 then install using safestrap or stick with MDK.. Might need to read a bit more here on what I need to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
hmm, this is tough, think I'ma stick out MDK for a bit longer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] prdog1:
I agree. Think I'd rather deal with Loki than bootstrap. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] imablackhat:
Loki is way better then bootstrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] major payne:
Guess it's settled then lol, Now to remember how to do this as the last time i flashed was before scroler left the dev for S4 lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] imablackhat:
Wait you're on mdk now? Just root and install recovery. If you want to go back to a aosp ROM or any kind of ROM. Just flash. This ROM and all me7 custom roms do not break recovery. You won't need safe strap crap
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] major payne:
Yes I'm still on MDK
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] imablackhat:
Then just root....

Install recovery...

Install this ROM..

And you can flash whatever. And you'll never need safe strap. You'll be on the Loki method.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
I'm sticking with MDK but having boot strap as a viable option is invaluable!

You never know when you may end up having to get a new phone. Warranty, broken screen, whatever. At least now we are not stuck.

Sent from a Galaxy S4... Far far away

NOTE: To claify, I have an MDK phone and I will not take the vzw update but I am running a custom ME7 rom and the ME7 radios.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 318sugarhill:
I figured out the tethering thing. I have to set the security for WPA2, not WPA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattevt:
This is great. Thanks for your work!

Edit: issue resolved.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Andy, I'm using beans currently about to give your rom a go. I love the aosp look though. Not sure why yours is Beta. Would it be harmful if I tried using the aosp theme from this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
It's on beta because it's not complete little things need addressing but it's fully functional and looks fantastic

You will not be sorry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] khuongduybui:
Viper4android?

I love this ROM mostly because it's battery optimization.

If I install several mods that aren't included in this ROM's original distribution, such as Viper4android, will it affect the batter optimization?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eric214:
I don't believe that anyone should ever take the OTA and leave the MDK for ME7. Safestrap is awsome i used it for the Bionic BUT, i believe you can still install and use safestrap if you're on MDK if you wish.

Safestrap if basically for people who are screwed with the ME7 bootloader. I wouldn't go that rout personally unless there was no more dev on MDK.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] matt1733:
I really love the aosp theme the dialer is so slick it reminds me of my nexus 4 during my tmobile days... (dont miss Tmobile tho lol)

---------- Post added at 03:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 AM ----------

I doubt it will affect battery life, kernel and usage are the biggest factors on battery and luckily the kernel that comes on this rom is insanely efficient
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Ok, so guys, I persoanlly am actually using this phone even though I just got my HTC One back S-OFF. shhhh

I just like the feeling of this phone in hand better.

I bought a case for the HTC One so that will allow me to use it and feel safe.

Anyway.

What can I do for you guys, you guys got me a new screen. You guys are such loyal amazing users. Please let me do something for you! I wish I could think of something to do.

AOSP theme I put on shelf for a bit, it was tearing me apart.

It's gotten so damn far I just want to get it complete!

any themers out there feel free to finish it, creds will be given..

+ I needed to give Prdog1 a break, he did SOO much for us on this theme I can't even begin to explain..

It's about 90% done, and it's usable just fine.

I just need to finish the small quirks you do once you get the big doggy bugs done.

Now is that time, but that damn weird contacts icon bug, may never get fixed but I hope the rest of the theme will, that will make me very happy.

please if you have a resonable request let me know.

as you guys know I only have limited amount of skill.

so please don't ask me to do anything outta my limits, but feel free to ask as I'll let you know if I can accomplish it. :)

Peace and Love my guys, and ladies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrv331:
This rom runs fantastic but I miss the stock music player. I searched XDA and only found a modified one. Can someone post the apk or link to it please.

Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fletch33:
check out the international dialer/contacts that work great on this rom posted over here.

i wish Sammy made these standard for US because they are better looking than any i have tried.

enjoy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drbveb88:
Here you go. This has a transparent widget:thumbup:

https://db.tt/Tm5vt969
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
yea sorry about that, the volume fix will def take care of that :)

Also, me and Mike just talked, I called him, no issues with phone rebooting on his end, so hopefully that issue is isolated and not something to worry about.

For those having it, hopefully we can work to figure out what is causing this issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
I haven't experienced any lag with this phone, or ROM.

Could easily be a rouge app.

Are you on stock kernel?

also what keyboard?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pschatz12:
Clean flashed again and calls are all better no reboot!!! Sorry for being a pain Andy!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
User Error got me all worked up!!

haha, J/K!!! :cool:

Glad to hear that the reboots have stopped! :good:

If you did do something though that caused this it would be VERY beneficial to know as I'm sure someone else may or already has made the same mistake so if you do know and don't want to say in public or whatever, please PM me as it would really help me out.

There must have been something. A dirty flash? An app, any information that you could give would be amazing.

Now time for you to enjoy the ROM like was meant to be!

Go have some fun with some blocking mode and call/message block

I haven't heard of anyone actually using these features :(

I don't use call/message block really, but blocking mode is fun, cos you can actually see who called. and can set the ones you want to allow to call, I actually turn it on every night, and set my custom people, everyone else will wait til I get up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
My plans as of now since the call thing seems to be settled, and all bugs squashed.

is to first try and do these features that I want to add

Blocking Mode Remove Notification Toggle

Quick Unlock on Pin/Password Toggle

then it's time to start porting the AOSP theme!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkhorn:
I believe the apk you are looking for is called Episodes.apk.

PM sent
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Thank you, Sir.

Yes the .apk names are no longer the issue, it is the problem that the darkslide ROM base removed many .apks and is the only base, so since he removed them, I can't provide them. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
In-case anyone has missed it in the pages today, two bugs were found - and fixed.

Please flash these two add-on fixes..

They are essential to having a clean fresh bug-free experience on this great new ME7 base.

After flashing these you should not encounter any problems.

Of coarse there is no way to tell except for time, but so far it seems that everything that was a problem is now squashed.

Probably about 10 calls ive called out about 4....while i was on stock .....but now im running ktoonz kernal now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Sorry what does this mean. Can you be more specific, I don't know if you are saying you had any issues or if you did not. and are now trying ktoonz. very confused by this post. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] igotjshoe:
i've recieved about 10 incoming calls an i made about 5 outgoing calls on your stock setting with no problems. Ive been running V1.1 since u uploaded it and its been running just. But know im running ktoonz kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mikekid7:
Ok. The volume fix in the OP fixed the issue when your on a call with screen off and then try to adjust the volume then the phone will lock up then hotboot. Now is working fine. Thank You Andy for the fix. Anyone else that experiences this issue just flash the fix and you're good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Thank you, Sir very much appreciated!

Thanks Mikey, loving the phone. Loving being here. I hope the boot loader gets cracked man that will open up this phone so much and make it unstoppable!

I wish I was able to of been smart enough to realize that when that DEV edition phone went on sale with that coupon it was too good to be true and should have ordered that first day, the lucky few who did got their phones and nothing Samsung could do then.

We have a great bounty going, almost $9,000 I think if you add it all up and combine the two, which is what it should be anyway, I believe if boot loader is cracked that they should get both the bounties as if they are able to open boot loader you'd think they could get a root + recovery going...

so they could just release that, collect bounty, then release boot loader, or us just offer both.

Just my 2 cents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] steelersmb:
Has anyone tried running Nottach Xposed with this ROM yet?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Not sure if this subject has been brought up in the darkslide ROM or not, but pretty much anything that's wrong with that ROM, will be wrong with this ROM, as this ROM is based off of it with goodies built into it (read features in OP). So if this was brought up and confirmed working or not working, 99.9999% would be the same for this ROM. :)

Also, others reading this will chime in if they have tried.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pkrexer:
thanks for the awesome rom, running solid so far on v1.1... Coming from cleanrom. I guess the only thing I'm missing is the transparent status bar.

The other thing I noticed is it updated my camera's firmware when I first opened it. This part of t

he ME7 update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] steelersmb:
I tried it with the darkslide ROM and will try it with yours as well. Thanks for the quick response!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andybones:
Were any of these apps, Xposed framework or Nottach?

A friend of mine mentioned to me that this happened to him twice on darkslide, and these two apps were missing both times, so if the same is going on with you, there may be something going on and I would have to advise those to be cautious when using this and not to report any issues as nothing I can do and not related to the ROM.
