I too have also lost mobile signal on reboot to stock.

I didn't even flash a ROM, just rebooted to stock after booting into recovery. Takes 5 minutes for mobile data and signal to load now

Also uninstall says successful but is actually not successful..how can I uninstall for now?

How did you get it to work plz share

Let me see if I understand this correctly.

If I flash the GPE ROM into slot 1, I can boot between that and stock by entering recovery?

I want to test out the GPE but don't want to Odin or brick my device if I try to load stock again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Galaxys4bean:
Yes, just choose stock or rom slot 1

Add the ME7 kernel module .zip to the "Downloads" section.

http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=550#downloads

Keep this on your SD card and flash it to the ROM-slot AFTER flashing a rom.

This will update your kernel modules to match the ME7 kernel and restore function to: wifi, bluetooth, gps etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Addiso:
Edit for a bit more depth.

Me7 kernel module does exist btw. And yes to clarify no mdk baseband will work and vice versa with me7 kernel only full on updated me7 roms and such.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sykoj82:
Does anybody know if we can flash performance mod zips like killjoy or flyon tweak etc as long as you are on slot 1-4? Or is that a no because the stock kernel doesn't have init.d support?

Edit: never mind, I answered my own question. As long as you don't flash anything to the stock slot, you'll be fine and looks like the rom I'm currently using has init.d support ..SS is the best!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamskies:
Hello Gents,

so to be clear if my partition is 3gb, that is the total amount of space i have for apps/downloads/rom/etc.?? If so, is it possible to shrink the stock partition or to just make a partition on the external sd??

Would Eclipse ROM work? I think the question has been asked before but never answered.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sppatel:
I'm confused by this statement. If you go to the hyperdrive thread it shows..

Android 4.2.2 JB TW I545VRUAME7 Base Firmware

So are you saying this is incorrect? If not, shouldn't just flashing the rom be suffient or are there additional tweaks that we need and thus require always flashing the ME7 kernel file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Galaxys4bean:
Yes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
I did load it and it seems to work but I was unable to check wifi function after I loaded the kernel patch as I am at work. My wifi analyzer program indicated wifi connections so thats a good thing. I didn't do anything else with eclipse after that.

I just wasn't sure since Eclipse uses KToonsez kernel.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Simple question. How did you have success getting HyperDrive to boot once flashed?

All I and several other's that tried this one got was the eternal black screen requiring a battery pull and a slot switch back to "Stock" via SS.

Another words, even using the "Stock Kernel" via the Aroma installer in Hyper... it still lead to this failure.

You are the first to report success, can you please share the trick?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jesssiii:
Lazer9, You must flash the stock kernel zip provided by Hash a few posts up. Flash over the ROM before boot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Inigo Montoya:
Well flashed GPE edition and kernel zip from Hash. Looks like I have mobile data, currently only 3g though (could be where I am) otherwise looks like everything is working!

Any news on where/how there will be donations for Hash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Thanks and didnt' realize that so I will try Hyperdrive again via this method with the stock kernel zip. The reason I didn't think of this as the solutions was that it (this kernel zip) was only being described to fix wifi, bluetooth, connectivity issues, ect... This is the first realization/post I've read that mentions it in regards to the "black screen of death requiring battery pull" issue after a ROM flash.

Cheers! :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrv331:
If were on ME7 and flash a rom based on the stock kernel why do we need to flash the kernel zip? Just curious.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jhogan11:
Safe Strap

I guess I'm losing my mind. The Safestrap downloads are in zip format not apk. What am I missing? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NilsP:
Because some ROM developers include modified kernel modules which can cause a mismatch between the installed kernel and the modules in the system folder
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
I'm guessing we are not realizing that while these ROMS that mention being ME7 based or whatever, that they are not actually on the ME7 kernal but rather the MDK with the ROM author simply adding the other updated parts between MDK to ME7 to the ROM, ie: fixes, improvements, ect...

At least that is my guess at this point although admittedly I'm still a bit confused on the issue myself. :silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] donshaffer:
Hyperdrive worked fine for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
HC this is awesome!!! I'm dying to play but on encrypted Vzw GS4 MDK. TWRP doesn't seem to support encryption except for Runandhide's modified TWRP versions for the Xoom. Afraid to flash SS due to past issues. I am willing to test. Thanks

Hey guys, I'm sorry to keep asking this question... but I just need to figure this out before I go ahead and install this new ROM.

My question is if my partition is 3gb, that is the total amount of space i have for apps/downloads/rom/etc.?? If so, is it possible to shrink the stock partition or to just make a partition on the external sd??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] donshaffer:
Actually have not done that yet I will when I have time though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Roland_D:
Yeah, I was wondering if deleting all the apps from the stock partition would actually change anything on my Slot 1... so +1 I'm still not really understanding the way SS handles space on the internal memory... I know it shows 13 GB of photo / videos that I don't have... :P could that be the stock partition? :confused:

Also just as a side note JellyBeans B6 works flawlessly with the ME7 kernel posted by Hashcode! Thank you thank you thank you...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] HORiZUN:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SamuriHL:
I see a few of you "wondering" if you can screw with the stock partition in some vein attempt to "create more space." I'm gonna stop you right there. First, you run a very high risk of bricking your phone by screwing with the stock partition. JUST DON'T DO IT. Second, even if by some miracle you don't brick, it WILL NOT HELP YOU ANYWAY. The rom slots are on your internal memory card. They have NOTHING AT ALL to do with the stock partition. You have been warned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamskies:
Can you please explain to me exactly what I can do then? All I am checking for is to get the maximum out of storage. What can I do to get the most space?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tool Belt:
What size Slots are people using? And, if you please, once that slot is created, even if it is empty that storage space is not available in Stock? If it is unavailable what would it take to make it available once more.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamskies:
I do have a 64gb external, how can I make use of that when you cant put apps on the external, or can you and I am just missing that?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SamuriHL:
There's nothing you can do. This is how safestrap works. It was clear from the very beginning before the first build of SS was even released that this was going to be an issue. TW roms are huge. They're going to take a lot of internal memory to run them. Those with 16 gig devices are going to feel the crunch. AFAIK, you can't put rom slots on an external SDCARD. So, like I said, there's nothing to be done here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] myfishbear:
that's nothing compared to being hemmed into 11 gb with no sdcard slot on my droid DNA. believe me that plus the mics making me sound like i was in a tunnel got me to sell that pos real quick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] myfishbear:
2 gb. it takes 2 gb from your internal sd. to get it back delete the romslot but you loose the rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mxgregg:
Do you think this will be the only fix for the ME7 to be able to flash roms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamskies:
do you think mounting on an external card is something that we could see in later releases of this project, or is that something that can't really be done?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tool Belt:
Easy enough. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] myfishbear:
you use the internal sd to make a slot so the rom is on the same card as the download folder. all the shared space is the internal sd. the system partition is unaltered so you don't brick. if its re-sized you can reall be in a world of hurt cause odin dose not re-size partitions.

---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

prob not it is slower than internal mem

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

yeah i guess move your media onto the external sd and keep apps down to a minimum of about 10 gb
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jamskies:
Okay,

Final question.... any pictures, music, apps that I store on the phone while using the ROM...will that go towards the amount of the partition or does it store these apps in a place that is outside of the space you have created for the partition? If it count towards that partition space, then I will just make as big a partition as I can make!

Thanks for your help and the answer to this last and very important question! Cheers!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jPeg1900:
Just wanted to confirm HyperDrive working. AFTER flashing the ME7 kernel module .zip on top of the rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] myfishbear:
not everything. apps will be on that partition. pics and music can be stored on ext sdcard. 3gb partition will allow you to install more apps without use of apps2sd.

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ----------

the partition contains system apps, all the system files, your system's data and everything else that is need for your system to run. i use a 2gb partition cause its big enough for the rom and if i need more apps i use apps2sd. there is nothing wrong with 3gb but you cant use the extra available space for file storage. I got a 16gb model and its fine with that. if you see you need more storage for apps and dont like apps2sd or your apps generate huge sums of data id use the 3gb partition.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Roland_D:

To obtain kernel modules on rooted firmware (note: ADB must be set up)

adb pull /system/lib/modules/

This will pull the stock modules from your system into the folder you ran the command in. You should then be able to unzip the modules package and replace the modules in it with the ones you just pulled.

The boot animation just started up, no dark screen. The FIRST time I tried it, I didnt flash the ME7 kernel module .zip that hashcode posted. That time, the screen stayed dark, and never booted. So, what I had to do was go back to the rom slot where I flashed HyperDrive, then flash the ME7 kernel module .zip on top of it, then reboot. Worked like a charm. I'm just guessing that you haven't done that. If you have, my apologies. I'm not sure what could be wrong in that case.

How much internal storage will this take up? Not exactly a lot of free storage available in the first place. Not devaluing the effort, but wanting to understand the storage taken up. Could be almost as much as already taken up by stock?

I am happy with root and unneeded apps froze with Titanium, but the premise seems interesting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Obsidian...:
The rom slots you create will determine that. Your stock rom doesn't get messed with so that'll be the same. If you just make one rom slot you'll choose if you want a 1 to 3gb data partition. Add that to approximately 500mb system and 2-300mb for cache. So that means 1.8 to 3.8gb per rom. I could be wrong but I think Hash had to make a cache for each slot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
No, that's on at&t, sorry. :(

Yes, definitely! You need root for SS and for many other useful apps, like Ti Backup, Root explorer, to name a few. :rolleyes:

Technically you could use a nandroid to back up, format the slot, recreate it with more space, and then restore, but if i recall right doing that on the BIONIC did end up with some force closes, so you're better off reformatting.

I believe what he meant is that it's not sold through Verizon.
