I'm not sure if anyone posted this before. Quick search mentioned some things about storage space, but nothing about getting maximum space.

I had only 1.85 gb of space with the stock rom and then making and installing a rom in slot one.

This is what I did and worked for me this weekend to get lots more space. I'm not positive this is the correct way, but it worked for me and seemed to give me lots more room.

I rooted the stock rom and installed Safestrap, then installed recovery. I then did a factory reset and never let it boot back into the stock rom slot, re-booted into Safestrap, created slot rom 1 and installed my rom and Hashcodes fix.

After everything installed and all my apps loaded, I now have 5.08 gb of free space.

What kernel did you select? Did you also flash the ME7 patch?

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

Read back to my posts 2 or 3 pages back. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Poofster:
I flashed the stock kernel and yes flashed the me7 module
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
That should have worked. Which GPE did you flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Poofster:
Google edition vzw v6.0
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
Was this Dubssy's Vzw - ge rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Poofster:
Yes and I selected full Google experience

Hey is there a boot loader bounty thread for the me7? Wondering if it will ever get cracked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
They closed the bounty thread because... I dunno.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Quentin.Sheley:
Still having issues man? You may just want to start all the way over. Ive been trying to keep up the last couple days and the issues keep piling up. I'm currently loaded with Hyperdrive and created a 2gb slot then also loaded the ME7 .zip file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Well you got an experience all right. Don't know what to suggest. Clean the slot, reformat and try again:p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Poofster:
Well I just deleted the ROM slot reformatted the ROM slot...wiped the ROM slot..installed GPE vzw v6 installed the me7 module..rebooted got the safe strap bootscreen saying enabled..waited 15 seconds of black screen then phone vibrated and booted into normal recovery with little android guy again....will try and install hyperdrive tomorrow on another ROM slot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Quentin.Sheley:
This seems like an issue with safe strap. It seems like it's not able to reboot your phone. Dumb question but you did root right?

Sent from the Galaxy Ssssss 4 . If I was able to assist please Thank me so I know I wasnt a complete screw up lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eklipz3:
i had issues with gpe also and i lost my data connection once i got it to install so i tried hyperdrive and it works like a charm. i think its one of those things where some of us are lucky with gpe and some not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Check your md5's on the GPE download and patch. Or just redownload using wifi and compare md5s. You probably have a bad file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Poofster:
Md5s checked out ok...installed Hyperdrive on a different rom slot doing exactly the same and BINGO Hyperdrive without a problem :victory: Building alittle confidence now yeah. Just want to say THANKS to all for helping and for all working on these types of projects. Don't know why GPE doesn't work for me but I'm sure there will be more Roms to come. Thanks again all :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toddersv:
I just can't free up enough space to create a rom slot. My phone is 16gb and 2.8gb is free. I've moved all media, pictures, etc to the external sd card. I've removed bloat, moved apps to external sd card. Still only 2.8 is free. I've checked with root explorer to see what was taking up a lot of space and couldn't find anything. Not sure what else to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthony92170:
Format internel sd. Then odin to stock and reroot. Without adding any apps your phone should have 9gb left. Then redo ss. There is a folder on sd called android which stores information there which can get big
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] T3T3droid:
Before formatting and losing data you may want, get an app from the play store called DiskUsage. It is an amazing app to use when trying to figure out what's taking up space. Look at Storage Card when you open it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Hey T3T3 didn't know you were on the S4. Miss your thread/SS Roms for my backup Bionic. :sly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] T3T3droid:
Lol thanks! Mine is collecting dust on the shelf since I got this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Poofster:
Ok said im a noobie...have hyperdrive running but forgot that the rom would be new..so... all my contacts and emails all need resetup...(I forgot alot of my passwords but fuddling threw them)..question is how do I get my contacts back? I did a full titanium backup of stock rom if that helps but was wondering the easiest way. thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tada10:
Don't you have Google email? That restores your contacts if you had it before.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] michaelg117:
I haven't gone through this yet but to delete a slot and install a different on that slot I should basically

*Backup data (apps etc)

*boot into SS

*make backup

*wipe slot

*Create slot

*install ROM

Right? Will the data still be visible from TiBu if made from this slot?

Sent from Navi
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Poofster:
GMail? yes but i cant find anywhere to sync contacts and will that have phone numbers? Facebook doesnt have phone numbers...wondering if i go back to stock and back them up to sd card then boot back and sync them?..only options to import contacts is from usb storage, sd card and share namecard via....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Obsidian...:
Yeah use diskusage best app out there

Sure run TiBu. Boot into SS. Activate the slot you want to redo. Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache. Then install your new rom. Done

Yes. Turn on debugging. Open TiBu, press menu, then preferences. Choose backup directory (you should always store your TiBu folder on your ext) Either way use the built in file manager to find it or detect it with the auto detect button to find it.

Man... reflash clean before restoring data put in your gmail account and password. Your contacts and most of your apps will magically appear. Goooogle!!!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toddersv:
Thank you, that was very helpful. I was able to free up more space and should be able to create a slot now. Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] T3T3droid:
Anytime!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Excessumcarcer:
So, I can't tell and going through 150 pages sucks for me due to fail internet....but...is SS safe to use or is it still in development?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Poofster:
Anyone have any troubles switching between stock and flashed roms? Having trouble booting back into hyperdrive
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Blue:
Weird. Ive been running hyperdrive with optimized stock kernel n been switching between stock n hyper n I have had 0 problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] roboots21:
Very safe to use. Read the first couple of posts and that should get you started for sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gator Brah:
i never realized how good we had it on the bionic with SS until i got a new phone. SS is a thing of beauty...i was dying a little inside everyday that i couldnt flash to my GS4. Cant wait to be able to flash AOSP roms!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamskies:
I'm still very new to this whole process, and I have enjoyed this rom based on the stock kernel. I have no idea what the benefits of an AOSP ROM is but so many people talk so hihgly of it! I can't wait to give it a try!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thejulianath20:
Well I'm sure its been posted millions of times here and I thought I understood it but....

"vbulletin Search isn't working right now"

So I have to ask it again.... I have a 16gb S4 Verizon running SS with Hyperdrive installed on Rom slot 1 with a 2gb storage partition choice and under storage it tells me now that

"Apps=2.1gb" (which i don't know why so freakin big) but also it says

"Available Space=2.11gb"

But now if I need to update an app it says insufficient storage! What is that "Available space" then? Also Will deleting apps from my stock rom slot help clear space?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thejulianath20:
I read that wasn't fully tested and could be unstable... Plus I didn't have the space needed to make it... I had 5.2gb free before doing SS with Hyperdrive and it only allowed me one Rom slot at 2gb size.... Like I asked before would deleting my apps from the stock slot work for getting me space or at least space for doing 3gb (partition if its stable)?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
You need to backup the current rom in ss. Then delete all of the safe slots and wipe data fully. Then from your stock system create your new bigger slots. You can then flash the rom and restore the data only from your Nandroid.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thejulianath20:
Delete the Safe Slots?! Like deleting my Stock ROM slot?! I'm sorry but I don't understand your answer... I thought we could wipe data for the stock rom slot....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Noooo not Stock. Delete slots1 2 3 4 ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thejulianath20:
Ok that much I already knew... My question is how, once in stock, do I make the most space for doing all of this? I could only make 5.2gb free on stock and that wasn't enough to install the 3gb partition on Rom Slot 1...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thunderbls:
Delete or move as much from internal SD card to free up as much space as possible.. Maybe debloat a little there is a thread for that.. I have 16gb and three ROM slots a two 2 and 1 gig slots created with a little under a gig left over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrv331:
This is what I normally do once I have found the rom I want to use as my DD. I factory restore then run only a minimal setup on stock. I do not let the play store update anything. This way you have the most available space you can have. I then boot into SS and create three 2gb slots. Slot 1 is my DD with all my apps. Slots 2&3 are my slots to play around with while trying out different roms and mods. When Im happy with my set up I delete slots 2&3. If you only want a 3gb slot you will have more than enough room. Also if your confortable deleting stuff you can go into your stock rom and delete any ring tones/notifications/video that you dont need. Why have them on the phone if your never going to use them, every little bit helps. I was able to get almost 7gb free after doing my cleanout.

As mentioned before move everything you can to your sd card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GRock84:
How would you access the stock ROMs /system from another slot? I apologize if this has been covered already. The xda search is down currently and I managed to screw up my stock install (trying to install stupid v4a) and I have to be up at 5am. Of course this is my stupidity and I'm installing hyperdrive for now, but I was just wondering if I could access the stock ROM files so I can fix what I broked.... many thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thejulianath20:
Would a factory restore set me back to square one so no root, no ss? If that's the case I think I'll just go to my stock and delete all the apps. Because I've got titanium backups anyways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrv331:
Yes, a factory restore puts you to where you were when you took it out of the box .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrv331:
If you want to work with stock files you have to boot to the stock slot. With that being said, if you get a file manager with root access and full r/w options you can edit anything anywhere on the system. Very dangerous.

If your stock side is that messed up just odin and start all over again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GRock84:
Hey thanks for the reply. The problem is that I can't boot into the stock rom. And adb from my pc to safestrap doesnt work (some sort of "cannot link executable" error) so I have to rely on the built-in terminal to mount the system and edit or swap files around. But swapping the modded build.prop (modded attempting to install v4a) for the unmodded didnt alleviate the problem. So, thats why I was wondering if I could access the stock rom file system from a virtual rom slot so I could try to figure out what exactly I broke. Its kinda tedious doing it all from the recovery terminal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] adamklo:
Can 3minit be flashed in this manner? Since I'm new to SS and the S4, I'm not sure about a lot of this stuff. I'm currently on Xtremperia. Can I use SS to flash 3minit over top of that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sebby d:
You should. I flashed it over hyper drive with no problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] adamklo:
Which version did you flash? The 3Minit thread and mediafire download page is not super clear. Also, I posted in that official thread and they said that our phone (SCH-I545) is NOT supported and to check out an Infamous Rom; but because I'm on OTA ME7, I cannot :(.

So, again, which version did you flash and were you OTA ME7 on SS?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gator Brah:
for me its just the best base to apply all my tweaks and custom stuff on. TW is ok but a little clunky imo
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Poofster:
Version 3.4 mga was posted somewhere in that 3minit thread and was confirmed working on me7 over ss....my question is when adding these zip files to a rom do you also have to flasj the me7 module over top? Or just install the zip file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] adamklo:
Well, I downloaded the 3.5.1 file that [MENTION=4286591]holla420[/MENTION] shared in the Hyperdrive thread. After backing up, I flashed that zip and then the ME7 fix over it. On reboot it gave me a "Return to %1$s" box, and 'prepared' 232 apps. Once it finally booted up, I got a slew of System UI, android.phone FC messages.

Maybe it just doesn't play nice with Xtremeperia.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
Just wondering. Why did you flash the ME7 fix over 3minit?

I flashed just 3minit 3.5.1 with Hyperdrive and it seems to be running perfect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] adamklo:
Well, I'm flashing over Xtremeperia v6. I initially just flashed 3m 3.5.1 and I got all the FCs, so I went back, wiped, reflashed 3minit and then ME7 (in case that was the issue?) and got the same problems. So I just restored my previous settings. It seems 3minit doesn't play nice with Xtremepreia.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sebby d:
From my understanding 3.5 does not work with our phone. Someone in the hyper drive thread posted a modded version that works. Not sure if it is only for hyper drive or not. Here is the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46039270#post46039270. Post 373 And yes I am using safestrap. Have had no problems using this for the past three days. Just flash like you normally would. You do have to show your support and buy the app. Well worth it.

---------- Post added at 11:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------

Only flash the link I posted above. 3.5 and above does not work with our phone. And no you do not need to flash the module zip. That is kernel related only.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] adamklo:
That's the one I downloaded and flashed. No good on Xtremeperia. Nottach Xposed does just fine for me :)

Will try it on Hyperdrive 9.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ricupg:
Help! I ran out of options.

Hi Guys, I'm not new at this. I hardly post because I always find an answer in the forums.

I have the Verizon S4 ME7. I installed safestrap 3.6, created a 2 gig rom-slot, installed hyperdrive and the ME7 module right after that. (Yes, I unchecked the reboot option prior to installing the module). When I reboot, I get a black screen and to get back I need to do a battery pull.

I know people have had similar issues, but by doing the same steps I did above, they ended up being fine. What am I missing?

I even removed ss 3.6, installed 3.5 and still got the same results. I re-installed 3.6, deleted and re-created rom slot, used 2 different ROM and still nothing. Just a black screen on reboot.

Please help, I don't know what else to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sebby d:
Try erasing rom slot and then reformat it. Also in aroma install make sure you choose stock or optimized stock kernel. Once that is done flash me7 module. Then reboot. Also, how long are you having black screen? First boot can take up to 5 or 10 minutes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ricupg:
hmm. I've tried erasing the rom slot and recreating it. But I have not waited 5 to 10 minutes. I'll start fresh and will wait this time. Hopefully something comes up. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] killajoe:
It never takes five minutes for me. I have flashed ever working ROM so far with out problem. Maybe it was a bad download

Sorry HC, I should have posted on another thread. I was replying to a post on3 minute. I was on Oct GPE ROM 4.3 which I flashed on TWRP (outside of SS).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ricupg:
So, I re-created the rom-slot (2 gig), re-installed Hyperdrive, unchecked reboot, installed module, then reboot. Waited over 30 minutes and just a black screen.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] neur0tk:
I think you have to select stock kernel during the installation and also still need to flash that modules pacakage at the end
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ricupg:
I do select stock and I do flash the module at the end. I did see in the dev thread that hash has teased of a new version. Hopefully that would do the job. Else, I'll stay with my rooted stock.

Just wondering if you're flashing the correct module... Other then that try uninstalling ss completely and reinstalling. Other then that maybe check su binaries for update..

How do I dirty flash in SS?

I want to flash hyperdrive's stock optimized kernel but keep all my current setup....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamskies:
Oh that would be great, although I hear a huge setback to this is that would be much slower to use an external source.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
You don't need to "dirty flash" the whole ROM over. Just scroll down about 3 posts or so in the Hyperdrive thread. Download the optimized kernel, boot into your safestrap Hyperdrive slot, and flash this THEN re-flash the modules .zip per this OP over top and you're good to go.

Edit: Didn't realize the modules zip wasn't directly linked in this thread's OP. Find it here ---> http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=507
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thejulianath20:
Tried that already and I got "md5 doesn't match..." "Failed" for doing both the Kernel and the module...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ricupg:
So I downloaded the files multiple times, went through the steps numerous time and I was still getting the black screen. Since I don't give up and seeing that many people are getting it to work I refused to be the one to not let it work. My last try was to download the files directly from the phone not through the PC and then transfer. Once I did that, everything started to work. It's so strange, I've never had problems like that.

I know no one cares, but I posted my solution in the event someone goes through the same frustration as me. :victory:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thunderbls:
I care lol glad you got it to work :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thejulianath20:
Anyone know why I see this when I try to flash the Optimized Stock Kernel in SS?

Would Flashing the rom zip again through SS and going through Aroma setup wipe my current setup?

And Yes I always flash the ME7 module after the rom....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
You probably have a bad download. Check your md5.

Nandroid your setup, nuke and reflash the rom clean and then restore data and you will be golden.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thejulianath20:
Sorry.... Never had to check the md5 before. What is that? And how do I do that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thunderbls:
After downloading the file... Use whatever file manager you have go to the file long press and select properties and it will calculate to produce the md5sum the sequence of numbers and letters should match what shows on the download link.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Poofster:
yea i do this after every download now...saves alot of hassle having the right md5...just curious anyone know why it changes? people do this or does the file get corrupted for some reason? just wondering
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
It changes if the download broke or missed data. It checks the integrity of the file. Not sure of the specific algorithm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thejulianath20:
The problem is the Custom Kernel doesn't have a check sum listed anywhere...

Is the Custom Kernel md5 supposed to match the rom's md5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thunderbls:
You are correct but it is on the download page once you click on the link..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thejulianath20:
I'm actually looking at the Custom Kernel from hyperdrive OP... Not the module.

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

Ok I checked from the Custom Kernel download page and yes my md5 does match... Weird...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thunderbls:
My apologies I was thinking you meant the kernel modules seeing as with safestrap custom kernels aren't able to be installed..yet : ) interesting that there wouldn't be a md5 sum for a kernel.

Okay so I know we can't flash AOSP based roms and that is a big bummer for me. How long do you think anyone either unlocks the bootloader or gets safestrap to work with aosp roms?
