need help to decide what to do

I originaly had an s3 32gb had a lot of issues so verizon moved me to the s4 all they had was 16gb so they sent it (refurbished) the good thing is it came with mdk. they did send me a few days ago a 32gb but it has Me7 this is the 4th they sent all with me7. My Question should i keep what i have or should i just use the 32gb and root for now. I am using beans rom and i love it plus all the stuff i can do but i do need more storage i have a 32gb sdcard now i cant afford a 64gb. So what are your opinions thanx.

option 1 keep 16gb and wait till i can get a sdcard which its been 2 months already using a 32 i am on ssd cant work ever again.

option 2 switch to 32gb me7 root and just wait?

What. I only ask cause im nervous about ss I never used it or heard of it till this started. I know alot about r phones and the regular way about rooting unlocking ect. Sorry should have mentioned this before
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] purple_zergling:
It's really only big with the DROID line. SS really makes it difficult to screw up your phone because you cannot delete the primary partition which holds your stock ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sub1287:
Keep the phone you are able to Loki and wait on a bigger SD card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rushless:
Thanks for the info. Sounds like this could take up a lot of space. This would reduce internal to near comically low levels and relying more on the sd card for data. Since I prefer my internal space for apps and external card for media and game roms, I will happily pass and stick with ME7 stock and root :)

Yeah everything works flawlessly... after all it's a TW rom... it's just optimized and themed to be AOSP looking... there are still some menus that are TW themed but I am sure beans will theme those too in future releases...

Any clues on how to get FolderMount app to work from a Rom / slot ?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount

It seems the source path is wrong as compared to running it from the stock ROM where it finds the given folders/apps.

the source path shows: /storage/emulated/0

Normally this would populate with the given apps/folders desired to select but not working (as in listing anything) when trying from a ROM/slot

Sorry for a noob question.

I have a 16gb model as well.

If I partition 2 gb for the new ROM slot and boot from that new ROM, I won't be able to use the other 14gb of the internal space at all?

All 14gb are for the stock ROM?

So unless I boot back to the stock ROM, I won't be able to use the other 14gb at all?

Could you please educate me here?

Thanks in advance.

The 14 gb are shared by both the stock system and the new rom

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jPeg1900:
Hmmm... :confused: I guess that is possible. When I set up, I did the full install (full wipe and dalvich cache wipe) and installed with the stock kernel (not stock optimized or the other). Everything seemed to work out that way. I believe everything else, as far as apps and features shouldn't matter. And make sure the kernel module .zip is in the same rom slot as hyperdrive. If you're still having trouble, you may need to ask someone with a little more experience. I'm still pretty new. I hope this helps, but if not, just know that is is possible. Just keep searching for the answer. Good luck!

ROM Slot Questions

First off a big Thanks to Hashcode!!!!

Not new to flashing but never used Safestrap. I do not completely understand the "rom slot" thing.

I assume you can flash different roms to each slot and boot to each rom by selecting that rom slot in recovery.

I also assume that each slots take x-amount (user selected) of memory from the internal storage thus the more slots occupied the less internal memory. Also the rom slots share the remaining internal memory.

Can we choose to flash to the STOCK rom slot thus maximizing the internal memory?

What if any consequences can come from this? Will doing so help up 16GB guys out?

I assume if you mess it up you can Odin back to ME7

I have a 16GB model. Just check my available memory and I have only 6.79GB free. It is showing over 6GB of Misc files which makes no sense since the phone have no files on it. I did use Titanium Backup to backup and uninstall several system files (bloatware) . I wonder if that has something to do with it?

All help will be greatly appreciated.

Tanks again Hashcode!!!!!

You can brick the phone by doing it. I attempted it earlier today and just used odin to get back to the phone stock. Some people have claimed they were able to do it. I am trying to reach out to such ones th share their method, but no one has responded to give me that information as of yet.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Glynix:
Hey guys for anyone that was having issues with no mobile data I found out it was the GPE rom causing it for me. also when i would go back to stock i noticed my network settings were changed a bit so i put those to stock and then my stock rom worked again. GPE i could not get mobile data working on no matter what. I switched to hyper drive rom and flashed the kernal fix and its working fine with mobile data right now. So if you get a mobile data issue just try a new rom like hyperdrive for example and make sure to apply the kernal fix right after it. so go ahead and queue up both files for install in recovery, swipe it to install, then just finish the aroma install for hyper drive, then right after it'll install the kernel fix. then boot up and should be good to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NoGimmicksNeeded:
Honestly, didn't do anything different than what I normal do when you flash things, but the 2 things I kept in mind were... I did choose the "Stock Kernel", and I didn't choose the option for "Factory Reset"... when it got done and asked if you wanted to reboot or go back to recovery, chose recovery, brought me back to SS... from there I rebooted... At first it brought up my normal Samsung splash screen, then it booted into SS splash screen, after that, it booted to a different custom samsung boot screen that I chose from the installer and it loaded straight up...

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

Did you choose the option for wipe data/cache or data/cache/factory reset? I just chose the wipe data/cache as well as stock kernel, when Hyperdrive got done installing, asked me if I wanted to reboot there.. Which I went back to the recovery, and rebooted from SS.. Never encountered any issues, no pulling battery or nothing like that... Of course like with all ROMS... once it boots up correctly... the boot may take up to 5-10 mins, to go to the next screen... then you'll see your screen says "Select your Language etc...and then you're on your way to setup Hyperdrive....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashcode:
Flashing ROMs to the stock partition is completely untested at the moment and I don't recommend trying it. At some point in the future I'll work through it. But the method we're using to hijack may not be reliable enough for stock ROMs to be a reality. On other devices the hijack is much earlier in the boot up -- hence easier to test across most ROMs.

I left open the option of flashing to stock so that mods / themes could be applied.

The cache wipe error is on my list of upcoming fixes. I know it's irritating. :/

In Regards To Flash Mods To Stock Side/Stock Rom

In regards to flashing mods to the stock rom. If the modification was designed to work with ME7, meaning the dev who built the mod or hack has made it to work on ME7, then yes, you can flash it to the stock rom with SS. Please keep in mind that you run the risk when flashing ANYTHING to a stock rom. The same mod may flash fine for you, but I could brick doing it. Always be prepared to ODIN back by having the Stock ME7 image and a copy of ODIN on your PC.
