I reinstalled mf3 and it still doesn't work :/ I've tried Odin 3.07 and 1.85 both installed successfully and the phone boots fine. It's only recognized in download mode. Not when the rom boots. Ahhhh

I know it was safestrap that borked my mtp because it worked after I rooted the phone with Kingo. I then used mtp to transfer the safestrap apk over to my phone. Saying this so someone won't think I'm going off topic in the thread.

Can I install this ROM with ss( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2520418 )

OK thank you :)

But should I flash the att compatible thing or not?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gj23:
Not real sure, have to read what OP says to do, I haven't downloaded the ROM and tried it.

Edit: Instructions for AT&T pack are in post #26
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] t4duzan:
If you're referring to the at&t module for SS, then you should flash that after EVERY rom when on SS. Otherwise things like WIFI will be broken. Also the Hyperdrive rom will work, but you will either not have LTE or won't be able to use messaging when on LTE. Hopefully they will work on an at&t version for that rom because it is awesome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gj23:
He's not talking about that, he's referring to the AT&T compatibility pack thats a seperate download with Hyperdrive ROM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] t4duzan:
Awesome. I was unaware that this was now available for AT&T. I'll be trying this out right now. Thanks for the heads up gl23.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gj23:
No problem...Im downloading the ROM now, gotta check it out. Im curious if the AT&T compatibility pack is essentially the same as flashing the 2 original files that Hascode provided with SS. The module file fixed wifi and the build.prop file fixed kernel issues, if I remember correctly. I think Im going to try and flash those before I try the compatibility pack and see how that goes, just to satisfy my own curiosity.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] joeespo:
Looks like we still need the ATT module provided by Safestrap for WiFi
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gj23:
Im aware that we need the AT&T module, but I was curious if that was included in the compatibility pack. Theres no mention in the Hyperdrive thread of having to flash Hashcodes file.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] t4duzan:
I'm sure Hyperdrive is put together for non-SS users as we are only a small % of folks who have to use it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] chris17922:
It is actually implied.... Since we are users using safestrap we have to flash the modules provided by hashcode after every rom we install. If you read everything sbreen posted, he says safestrap users have to flash the verizon modules by hashcode...since he develops for verizon s4's. I was one of the testers for the compability pack for at&t and I have been using hyperdrive since then flawlessly on my at&t s4. I did flash the compability pack 1st and then att modules...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gj23:
I had planned on flashing the module file as well as the build.prop file I have from back when SS was released, I flash them on every Rom I install on my phone. I was just curious if I would still have to flash the AT&T pack along with those files. Just as I suspected, I was able to get Hyperdrive up and running without the AT&T pack. The only issue I had was TW home was FCing, but thats ok becuase I use Nova launcher anyways. I just went to Google Play on my laptop and downloaded from there to my phone and all is well

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] amhatter:
Ok, so installed ss and upon first reboot got the splash screen. Downloaded a ROM and rebooted, now I can't get back into the splash screen. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing. Anyone else have this issue and if so what did you do to fix it? Thank you in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jt1998:
You followed the instructions exactly? Created a ROM slot? Flashed the ROM in the slot, and followed it with the MF3 module? Then rebooted and nothing? If yes, then I'd try a different download link, maybe create a new ROM slot after deleting the 1st one, and try again. Sometimes that helps b/c of bad downloads, incorrect partition sizes, etc. Which ROM are you trying to install?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] amhatter:
Followed to a T for install of SS. Rebooted to see if it worked, and splash screen came up and entered twrp. Booted back up, found a ROM, downloaded and rebooted to "flash" and no splash screen, just booted stock ROM. Tried uninstall and reinstall of SS but still nothing.

Now that we have the mf3 files for odin, and restore to stock works for us, has anyone installed safestrap, wiped the stock partition, installed a smaller ROM, maybe the 350mb GPE ROM for example, with the mf3 modules, and had a working system with storage space we have been missing out on? I think it will work, but don't want to waste my time if someone else has already tried this.

Google Play Slow

Hi all,

First off this is great. I have used XDA a lot and while I don't think I'm a complete noob, I'm far from an expert so I have a question that I can't seem to see anyone else has asked.

I successsfully installed SS and Google Edition Rom. Flashed the MF3 file and also flashed the file in the GE rom that was needed to restore wifi. Everything is working great except when downloading apps from google play. It's taking 10 to 15 minutes to download one app such as Google Plus. Everything else works fine, I can surf the internet on it fine and see no lag, but downloading apps is excruciatingly slow. I thought it was my internet but my Nexus 7 works fine and my computer does too.

The only thing I can think is maybe when I set up the Rom Slot that affected it, but I'm not sure. I used 2g for system, 2g for data and the default for cache. Would that cause it to go slow? Thanks for your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RickHenry:
I don't see how those position sizes could affect speed as you describe. Look at the partitions with something like Lidroid File Manager. If you flashed successfully, it all works, and you have free space in both system and data, you should be good to go.

Keep in mind, Google+ is much larger than most apps. How repeatable is your speed problem on Play Store? Is it as bad for other apps?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] JohnMonsour:
I'm willing to brick this phone again and again...... The problem with the gpe roms is the kernel... that's why it's slow. The qfuse is what I've been working on. And I'm pretty cyanogenmod was messing around with fuse a couple of days ago...... Updated code from 2006... anyways let's find out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] will8907:
It's terribly repeatable. Across everything I download. It's just slow. Everything else runs great, but downloading anything in Play Store... Slow...

---------- Post added at 02:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 AM ----------

So you're saying it's the Google Play Edition Rom itself that's making it slow? Admittedly, I don't know much about kernels, but if I read the OP I can't do anything about kernels, right? (Sorry about long reply times, restrictions and all) I did just test downloads over the LTE network and downloads went right back to normal. But as soon as I turn on wifi, they slow down again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] JohnMonsour:
Yeah gpe still isn't pure vanilla..... it still has TW components..... but you cant tell. You wont be able to txt over lte..... unless you get a 3rd party app....

you have to have mf3 modules.... bl,ker,build,sys

but gpe isnt 100% compatable with the att TW modules. but if you dont flash them you lose wifi and bluetooth....

you have a few options. read up. root explorer..... replce, fix permisions. there are two playstore files. rename to .bak......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] WezzleD:
Hey guys. I apologize for asking without looking through the 1100+ posts on her for these answers. How do I delete a ROM slot so I can make a new one that is bigger? Also if I used tb on my stock to get all apos and app data then deleted them from the stock, would it be safe to put those apps back onto whatever ROM is running in slot1? I have a 16gb s4 and I only had room for 1gb space on the ROMslot. I need more so I can install more apps and use my ROM as a daily driver. The gpe 4.2.2 ROM with KitKat apps to be specific.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jt1998:
Delete the custom ROM slot in SS, and create a new one with the sizes you want. Make sure when you are deleting the old custom ROM slot, that it is the active one, and not your STOCK slot. A little confusing, b/c you can't have the one you want to delete as being active at the time. Also with TB, you should be fine putting it back onto the new ROM slot, just restore the app alone since you're taking from stock and putting it into a custom ROM don't want to add the data.

Hope that helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] bej1199:
Deleting Rom Slot

To delete a ROM SLOT just click on the ROM SLOT you want to delete and you will see a "delete" option on the next screen. Then back out and click on "ROM SLOT 1" and you will see "create". Then you just manipulate your ROM Slot size. When I started using safe strap I had the same issue with space to make a rom slot. What I did to create more room is delete all I could from my stock ROM including files, downloads, music and apps.I also moved everything I could to the SD card as well. After doing this I cleared enough room to make a 3GB ROM Slot. I have not run into any issue running TB to backup my apps on stock ROM and resintall the apps with data on the new ROM. It should work fine. I tried the GPE 4.2.2 but it got boring after a while because there was no room for improvement and no further development involved. It was just a port of a ROM. I am currently using Hyperdrive 10.2 and it makes my S4 fun to use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] WezzleD:
Thank you both of you. I would like someone to confirm if I can use TB to put apps onto the ROM including data? That's the only reason why I'd use tb cuz Google would auto install my apps when I sync.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gadget069:
You can turn off auto install and auto update for your apps.

Good idea about un installing Spa to free up room for your room door. I keep my tb backups on my ext sdcard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] WezzleD:
Oh I'm not saying I mind the auto update. What I'm saying is I want the data so I don't have to re sign in to apps or lose game scores.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jt1998:
I've always read/heard that its ok to backup/restore app+data if in same ROM, etc. When you change from one to a different one, restoring the old data could cause problems. Worth trying though to make sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] WezzleD:
So i was able to remove the rom from slot 1 and delete the slot. Now I have backed up app data and apps and am in the process of deleting them from my main rom. FYI I didnt keep any service apps or safestrap app. Mainly only backed up apps that I downloaded and installed and wasnt a service so that it hopefully doesnt screw up my romslot1. As soon as its finished I will tell you if everything is working fine. I think in the OP the instructions to delete rom slots should be there for people who are newbs like me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mswal2846:
Did that actually free up the space? I remove a rom slot but I don't think it actually freed up the space. Can you confirm?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Alucion:

Deleted Rom Slot 1.

Restored my rom to the STOCK slot.

Only problem is now I don't have the SS Recovery screen anymore. It just boots to my rom.

How do I get back into SS or can I even?

If you are referring to deleting apps from my stock rom, then yes. It made me go from 2.8gbs of free space to about 5.2gbs of free space. Now I am creating a rom slot with about 1200mb for system, 3000mb for data and 400mb for cashe. The slot just finished creating so I am flashing GPE 4.2.2 Clean onto it. Took me a while because I have been busy all day!

Currently It is flashing.... Flashed. First load in rom slot 1.... Going through Setup....Wifi isnt working. Flashed Module... Wifi on... System reads 2.35gb available (2406mb), total 2.92 (2990mb)

Everything seems to be working. SO Im gonna start putting my apps back on.

So my questions is: Can/Should I install safestrap onto my safetrap-created ROM slot? So obviously in the stock rom I had safestrap, created a recovery, partitioned a ROM slot, flashed a ROM, and am now using my new ROM on the new ROM slot. Is it okay to install safestrap onto my new ROM slot...and if so, do I "create recovery" again or does it automatically link with my previous recovery?

Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gj23:
You can install SS on any of your Rom slots but that is optional. When you reboot your device, it will go to the SS splash screen, allowing you to boot to recovery, before rebooting to the rom. I install SS on all my roms just because it boots to SS recovery a little bit faster than doing a normal reboot. You dont have to install recovery with any of the additional installs of SS, your device will recognize the original install.

Troubles with Graviton and SafeStrap

I recently installed SafeStrap to AT&T Galaxy S4 with the MF3 firmware. I successfully installed Graviton ROM in slot 1, but when I booted it, I couldn't do anything on the WiFi settings screen. I couldn't go home, and whenever I tried to turn the WiFi on it didn't do anything. I rebooted to recovery, but it doesn't take me to SafeStrap. So I rebooted to "Download Mode" thinking it was SafeStrap and now it just has a green Android with the words "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" What should I do next? Please help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
Triangle away doesn't work on MF3. I don't think that's the issue anyways.

Reboot your phone and wait, you can't get to Safestrap like normal recovery. It will give you a splash screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gadget069:
I'm already rooted. Tired of the att bloatware. So is this the order of what to do.? Install safe strap, install recovery, place gpe 4.2.2 and mf3 modules on the sdcard, reboot, hit menu, select slot one, do full system data wipe, flash gpe, flash mf3 modules, reboot?

B/c you're in download mode, I believe its expecting for you to be connected to PC with USB cable. Since you're not, its ok. Its the only way you can get out now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mswal2846:
Well, I think there are a couple of things going on here.

I also recently install Graviton and forgot to flash the MF3 module. So when you get back into SafeStrap, I would wipe your ROM (NOT Stock), flash Graviton (when Graviton finishes installing there is a final window where you can UNCHECK to reboot - don't reboot, that will take you back to Safestrap), then Flash jflteatt-MF3-modules.zip, THEN reboot and WIFI will work.

As for why Safestrap didn't get control, I'm not sure ... probably because you didn't have the MF3 module in your ROM. I think you're ok to get out of "Download Mode" and try rebooting ... but others on this FORUM can answer this better than me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] JackPhD:
Thanks, Graviton just booted. Now, is there any way for me to get back into SafeStrap? I think I need to flash my MF3 module to get the WiFi.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jt1998:
once fully loaded/on, if you restart/reboot, safestrap splash screen should auto come up. If not, somethings wrong. Try rebooting a couple times, I've had to do that once/twice to clear up some glitches. May need to completely power OFF, then back on too. Try it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] JackPhD:
Thanks for all the help. I was able to get back into SafeStrap, but I didn't feel like going through the whole install process again. I'll let you know how it goes.
