Compatibility Pack ?

Hey sbreen94 and/or other Hyperdrive Developers Can you PLEASE HELP me out here. I have the T-Mobile Galaxy S4 [SGH-M919] I remember on earlier builds of RLS you guys had a Compatibility pack to flash for either ATT or TMO which ever carrier. I haven't been able to find that on RLS15/RLS16.1 and now RLS17. PLEASE HELP ME How can I find the Compatibility pack for TMO. Can you please post a link for download or point me in the right direction. THANK YOU SO MUCH, LOVE THE ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShnikeJSB:
Well, I went ahead and installed over 16.1 with 17, even installing a different kernel this time (ktoonsez vs jeboo before). Everything went without a hitch. Email still crashes whenever I try to long-press to copy or paste, though... Ugh! Any ideas on fixes?

SafeStrap 3.71 Formatted My External SD Card

I have a pretty serious issue. I was trying to upgrade to the latest version of Hyperdrive, and somehow using SafeStrap 3.71 I emptied my stock OS slot (System partition size is 0, and it says no OS installed when I try to reboot). Obviously, I had put all my backup files and the new ROM on my external drive. In the midst of trying to restore my stock ROM, I tried the "Wipe" Format Data option just to get back to a fresh start. It says all "internal storage" will be formatted. I had no idea this included my EXTSD! Now I can't install the custom ROM that was on it, can't get back to factory ("no os installed"), and I've lost every bit of data, pictures, business files etc (30GB worth).

Any help here? I'm pretty intelligent but this is over my head. I've got to restore that data on that SD card if nothing else...possible to do this on a computer with a recovery tool?

Thanks,

Matt
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShnikeJSB:
Grab Recuva from Pririform on a computer. It's free. A long as you haven't overwritten the data, it should hopefully be recoverable if you connect the extSD card to the computer and use Recuva on it. I don't even think you'll need a deep scan.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Randy_B:
For what it's worth, I dirty flashed 16.1 up to 17 on my mdk S4 last night without any issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
Unfortunately you probably have to start from scratch. SS 3.72 is the version you should have used. Based on your comments there is too much corruption of data to fix in the current state. Depending on your bootloader you will have to flash the Stock Factory Image via Odin and work your way back to Root, SS 3.72, etc. You will need to be on 4.4.2 Base Firmware for RLS17.

Do lots of reading before you attempt the next step.

Stuck at boot animation after flashing RLS17 VZW

I think I know my issue, but I'm not sure how to recover from it. I flashed RLS17 over RLS15 and now I'm stuck at the boot animation. I'm pretty sure my issue is because I'm going from 4.3 to a 4.4.2 rom, and if that is the case how do I get from 4.3 to 4.4.2? I can still get into my Stock and I still have Root, so that is good. Would wiping the current rom slot and flashing straight to 4.4.2 be the best route?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gsosure:
I may just roll back to RLS15 for a while longer. I haven't ever messed with flashing using Odin and all that.

Edit: Thanks to RootJunky.com on youtube the process wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Thank you for the help.

ReInstalling RS17

I just recently flashed RS17 without a hitch and got everything set up to my liking. However, if it's easy enough, I'd like to change a few things I selected in the Aroma installer i.e. boot animation, change kernel, add Viper audio mod, etc. Do I have to do full wipe, or can I just wipe cache and Dalvik and flash everything again?

Verizon GS4 SCH I545 Hyperdrive RS17
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Just Dalvik & cache should be fine for changing things on same build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] B_Morty:
worked great! Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jpmoo:
Date issues?

Did a full wipe and flashed 17. Everything works great except for 2 things:

1. Time on notification panel isn't updating. It seems to stay at the time of last boot. I think folks have mentioned that, though.

2. Date settings are correct, but the phone seems to "forget" my time zone. Calendar entries randomly act as if I'm at UTC rather than EDT. Google Play will give the "No connection - retry" error, which I've read can be related to improper time/date settings, etc. Anyone else seeing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
Today. Same results. Only the clock out of whack on the drop down & day of the month on the status bar clock---so far.

Edit : Date style to "Hidden" solved second one.

Hello, I have an issue with hyperdrive rls17

As stated above i am having some issues. I am sorry for bother you guys but i have searched like crazy all lastnight/morning and its really irritating me. I Download the rls17 ota and installed it and I ended up with no wifi and i know i have to flash the googlies wifi but i also lost root.The main issue is when i try to transfer files from my pc to my sd card or internal memory it says it isnt responding. :(

Update: So i used my sisters android and put my sd card in her phone and downloaded towel root and safestrap so i guess i now have root acess and safestrap but for some reason the gogolies wifi fix wont go in the sd card hmm.

Update again: I freaking did it YESSSS!!!!! i Fixed my issue the gogolies wifi finally installed on my sd card and i got safestrap into recovery succesfully and flashed the wifi yes :} if i run into issue ill update u guys,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 52brandon:
considering the length of the thread. I'm sure the minute things I'm about to point out have already been handled. But just in case. And in case theres a fix that I can use too...

on both RLS 16.1 and RLS 17, rebooting into safestrap recovery is a bit tricky. I have to open the safestrap.apk each time, install recovery twice, click reboot into recovery which does nothing, boot into recovery from the power menu which only takes me to the stock recovery menu, I then click up and down a few times, then click reboot, which finally boots me into safestrap recovery. It's not a big issue as it works every single time I do that, would just be nicer to just click "reboot recovery" and be rebooted into recovery. So if anybody has a fix, please share. And if anybody is having the same problems, that's the only workaround I was able to find. I assume it's because that safestrap was made for AT&T so there's bugs, just hopinh someone found a fix or at the minimum, my half-assed workaround helps some people

,

On RLS 17 (I got my GS4 2 nights ago, so didn't have much time to play with RLS 16.1 before flashing RLS 17). Switching to the KToonz kernel suggested in the Hyperdrive Hub broke WiFi tether. I had it all set up perfectly fine, made a backup and flashed the new KToonz kernel and then WiFi tether would just say "Error", yeah, really descriptive, and not turn on. I restored my backup, and now it runs flawlessly again.

All-in-all, 2 very minor issues. Keep up the great work sbreen. I've been running nothing but Hyperdrive since RLS 8 on SGS3. FANTASTIC ROM

I am running RLS 16.1, 4.4.2 BASEBAND NC5. My question is when I flash RLS 17, what baseband should I flash after rls 17? Mk2 or nc5? Where can I find nc5 baseband if I need it? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FrankyFiggs:
Help please

I was running RLS 16.1 with no problems. I downloaded RLS 17, wiped delvick/data/cache like normal. Flashed RLS 17. Everything worked except Wi-Fi. So i tried to do a restore back to 16.1, which failed. Now im stuck on Samsung Galaxy S4 screen looping over and over! Did i brick it? can someone please help?! I was using Safestrap 3.72, NC5 modules.

Very happy with battery life.

Stock kernel, no greenify or any other battery saving apps.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
You cant modify the kernel with safestrap so dont worry about trying tp use ktoonsez.

You mean modem, not baseband, although baseband in the about phone section will tell you what modem you're on. You can test every modem but i prefer the dev edition nc5. You can find all the modem zips in a thread by surge1223 just search s4 modems on google

MDK unlocked on Hyperdrive rls15--can just (wipe and) flash rls 17?

I'm not a safestrap user. I have MDK unlocked bootloader, TWRP v2.6.3.1.

Instructions for Hyperdrive rls 17 say safestrap users have to upgrade firmware to 4.4.x first, but if you're not a safestrap user, you can just flash the new ROM, right?

Thanks,

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
You need to be on 4.4.2 firmware. Go to this thread since you are still MDK:

So I tried to install 17.0 the other day without reading the 4.4.2 update thread...silly me.

I ended up factory resetting my phone, updated to the rooted 4.4.2 as shown here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2726868

then installed hyperdrive 17.0

The problem is, even when I select the hyperdrive partition in SafeStrap, it still boots to the default stock rom. I then tried to roll back to Hyperdrive 15....same issue. I'm sure it's something small and stupid I'm doing...but this is driving me to daydrinking. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

update: Not entirely the stock rom...just all the stock apps, plus I now have zero verizon signal with it (I get the crossed out O and no bars). But I have a ton of options in my long press power menu. Also, there are no hyperdrive elements anywhere to be found in the apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
If you installed HD in a "Slot", there is the mistake. SS 3.72 DOES NOT currently allow ANYTHING in slots. You must over write / flash over your STOCK - Safe side for it to have a chance at working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wy1dfire:
Oh...well, I guess I should read details about updates instead of just installing. Thanks for that. I'll try it and let you know if it works :D

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------

That works...I'm an idiot. Now last question...do I install the mk2 modules for wifi or are there new nc5 ones? I saw the ones from surge but I'm not sure which one to get for an sch-i1545.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Most everyone is having the best success using Giglios NC2 wifi/modem modules. Sorry, I don't have the direct link but it's in his SS directory in his main post in Dev section.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wy1dfire:
Sorry last question. Do I need to use the same method as before? Install HD17, then the modules, then reboot? Or can I go ahead and install the modules (since I've already booted into rls17) and boot and it be fine?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
You can install the modules even after a reboot. They are in this directory, look for the ones with NC2 wifi/modem.... http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=14640 gogolies-wififix-VZW-FN2-NC2-w-modules-SS.zip

You may find you lost root if you didn't flash superuser.zip before booting up the rom. No problem now. Just go to General Forum and lookup Towelroot and you can use that to regain root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] raddison:
Thanks for the helpful link, if I decide to go stock rooted in the future I'm sure I'll use it.

I decided to try just updating Hyperdrive, though, and it seems fine (firmware is part of flash if you're MDK unlocked, and NOT safestrap, as I mentioned).

Again, thanks for the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wy1dfire:

I updated Google Search, but I lose in-call audio with the "OK Google" Detection set to all screens and lock screen. No one can hear me, and I can't hear them. All other audio works fine. I have to restart and sometimes do a battery pull to get in-call audio back.

When I deselect those new options, no problems (but no cool new "OK Google" functionality). It happens on both releases 16 and 17, with or without Viper and XPosed.

Anyone else seeing this? If so, is it an HD thing, or a larger GS4 thing?

Did anybody have a workaround to boot int safestrap recovery without jumping through all the hoops I had to? Or is that just the reality of using the AT&T safestrap on a VZW device?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
To boot into safestrap recovery, reboot then select Recovery when the Safestrap screen appears. If you use a reboot app like Quick Boot and tell it to boot to recovery, you will end up in stock recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djchiments:
Hopefully helping

The S5 email app is junk. There are other bugs as well like not being able to reply all to a distro list on exchange. The settings crash issue, I had some attachment crashes. also a HUGE one for me and i guess some other people was no longer being able to change the size of a pic attachment. It would always default to the native size. The work around, or FIX in my oppinion is to simply install the stock e-mail app from the aroma installer or replace the apk. . This is stable. The stock app also allows for photo resizing.

Regarding the time on the notification panel.. I am also experiencing this. It's not boot times in my case.. seems random. Not sure why it is doing that. I am also experiencing an issue where the status bar clock just does not show up. Adjusting any sort of option or tweak doesn't make it appear. I have tried, stock settings, HD tweaks, wanam, and some different xposed modules. Wiped cache, delvic cache, and reflashed clean a couple of times. I'm on MDK so no SS. I need basic time functions to actually work on this device. I am going to try a dirty flash for giggles, but I'll probably end up reverting back to 16.1 until an update for 17 comes around.

Additionally, I have lock screen issues when i boot up where the swipe lock screen is active and lets users right in. If you hit power button or let it time out, next time the screen is on the PIN lock screen shows. I read that other people had this issue and thought it to be related to having one background for the lock screen and a different background for the home screens. Making them both the same supposedly didn't cause this. However the dialog box to change the BG crashes. So whammy.

RLS 17 is super quick though.

More info to follow

UPDATE: Resolved my issues with the status bar clock and notification panel clock by dirty flashing (I think thats what its called) 17 over 16.1 - I restored my previous 16.1 backup. Then wiped System - Cache - Delvic and then ran the installer for 17. Booted up and it was golden. Still working through the lock screen issue though. And e-mail was fixed by using the stock app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FrankyFiggs:
I have done reinstall 3 times. Did you do a wipe before reinstall?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djchiments:

Not sure exactly what you're referring to regarding needing to reinstall 3 times. But yes, general rule of thumb is to wipe before flashing. However in my case, I found that i needed to dirty flash for whatever reason. See my update on my post above for details.

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

Hello - I have found the duble clock issue to be related to using the HD tweaks and Xposed Wanam together. The wanam clock settings override the HD tweak settings. I mention a little bit more on my post here.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ickycoolboy:
I have a rooted Verizon Galaxy S4 on nc5 kitkat with the hyperdrive rom successfully installed.

During the installation however, there is an option to install a custom kernel such as ktoosez. When using safestrap can I select one of these custom kernels in the aroma installer or is it limited to using the stock?

I do know that you cannot flash kernel.zips with safe strap using the install tab so I was just wondering.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kyedmipy:
Which way do I go George?

So I was running RLS17 fine and dandy when I decided to re-install so I could try the red theme and a kernel other then stock. Unfortunately for me I accidentally held in the power button for longer then 10 seconds and didn't realize it until the bootloop.

It goes: Samsung s 4, reboot, recovery, repeat.

Is there something I can either flash in 3e or Odin to bring my phone back to at least the safestrap screen so I can get into recovery and restore from a backup?

My heart is telling me I will need to flash back to stock and redo everything from scratch and my brain is screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOO".

Also, after 2 installs both failed to deliver the Android L keyboard, even thou I chose it as a keyboard to load onto my device. Any idea whats up with that?

Thanks in advance. Sorry if this question has been asked and answered, I did use the search function but didn't find anything that I found to be relevant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 52brandon:
thanks man. So "Reboot Recovery" is more of a distraction in this situation. And I can't even remove it. Oh the irony lol

so it's not booting you into the ROM at all? Only recovery?

maybe try this Odin no wipe NC5 tar: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735172

then use towel root, install busybox, then safestrap 3.72, reboot into safestrap and restore your backup? That would be my first attempt.

if that didn't work I'd do this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2726868

hesitant

Hello.. I see now that 17.1 is out.

I have to say in reading some responses and including my experience, I am hesitant to waste any more time installing RLS17 or 17.1

With a dirty flash over 16.1 to 17 i still saw the same issues other than the status bar clock. I see that those items were fixed in 17.1 but there were still some querky behavior that ultimately forced me to roll back to 16.1 I have no problems with 16.1 only change i needed to make manually was to install the stock email over the S5 email app.

With that change, I can now, chose the size of my pic uploads, attachments don't FC the email app. and I can reply all to email using a distro list.

I don't have a wicked battery drain after just a base install.

I'll stay at 16.1 until something better comes a long. If it aint broke don't fix it. Using the listed methods for install, I had problems. I'm not a newb user and I know how to manage my phone. I tried to re-download as well. 17 seems to be buggy and I will need to wait. That is my preference. Having to set the exchange security prefs after EVERY reboot was a bit annoying too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kyedmipy:
Does anybody know why this is? I'm fairly sure I choose ktoonz kernel during installation and that stock kernel was installed. Elixer tells me:

Kernel

Linux version: 3.4.0-1151670.

Is this ROM originally for another device that can support different kernels? If so what device would that be so I can get that device... Imma fast charge! Lol

Are you natively installing, or Safe Strap?

Love Hyperdrive

This doesn't really belong in Q&A but I don't post much, so I still can't post in development...

First I'm SOOO glad I read up on xda forums before I received my GS4 last August, and rooted it while it was still MDK!!! No, I won't sell you my phone. :)

I've been on Hyperdrive since about two weeks after I got the phone, and I've loved every release I've used. No issues I couldn't live with or work around.

I'm on rls17 and LOVE the battery life I've had since day 1. The only battery-related app I use is Better Battery Stats, no Greenify or Juice Defender or anything like that. I just set big time periods between apps syncing or refreshing anything automatically, and have some apps on manual refresh only. I don't use the phone all that much, and I get 1.5 - 2 days out of a battery charge (original stock battery).

The only issues I've seen with 17 are the notification clock being wrong as everyone says, and wallpaper picker force closing if I try to choose anything other than a home screen wallpaper. I plan to upgrade to 17.1 this afternoon, if I can get the download (others say they're having trouble).
