It does work on AT&T model, and later a specific AT&T version should be made. You don't get to it by holding Vol Up though, after installing the app and installing the recovery through the app, you can boot to recovery from there and then there will be a splash screen with an option to get to it by pressing menu at your next reboot.

Yes. Start clean.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Echo17121:
I did this to create a 3 gig slot for Hyperdrive after running it for a bit on a 2 gig. I had issues with it booting despite backing up the rom slot, deleting it and then recreating it and restoring the rom. The phone would not boot. Finally figured out that I needed to wipe data/cache/etc and then restore and all is well. I did have one question though- do I need to reflash the kernel fix? I have been using the rom since Sunday with no issue but I wasn't sure if I should again or if it was too late?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jcutter347:
How do you use the 3minit framework? Do I need the app that's on the market? I already downloaded the one from a few pages back and flashed it. I just don't know how to use it. Thanks in Advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Yes, every time you flash a rom, if you are on a ME7 S4 you need to flash the ME7 patch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] primo523:
Hey Echo. Can you explain this process. As I understand what you wrote you backed up your current rom. Deleted the rom slot. Created a bigger slot then restored the rom you backed up to the new slot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Echo17121:
Yeah I backed up Hyperdrive and then deleted the rom slot after making my stock one the active one. I went into slot one and made it a 3 gig slot. Then I restored my backup to slot one. However it didn't work until I did a factory wipe before restoring the rom to slot one.

Ok thanks, should I do a new install of the rom since I have rebooted a few times since or is it ok to just flash it over this rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] primo523:
How do I make my stock rom the active rom? Click on " stock" then do backup ? Then do a factory wipe. ..Then create bigger partion.. then restore to slot? Sorry for so many questions but it's my friends phone and don't want to brick it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bfmetcalf:
Hashcode is working on kexec which will allow custom kernels to be run which in turn _should_ allow AOSP based ROMs to work. May be a little while before we see kexec though.

Honestly don't know how long it will be, first rule of xda is no eta's so I haven't asked :) Hash has been doing a great job so I wouldn't think it would be long.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Echo17121:
I think you got your answers in the other posts after your question but seriously don't worry about bricking it as long as you leave the stock slot alone. You can always just go back to that. I don't have much experience with flashing things, I just like to tinker around and usually can figure the problem out on my own with some simple trial and error steps and I had no trouble after a few failed flashes. Worse comes to worse, you go back to stock and try again.

I asked this just before the thread in Q/A got shut down... Can anyone answer me?

I would love to back up my 2gb HyperDrive Rom slot1, wipe it and then flash a 3gb Rom slot 1 but how do I get more space to do so? Would booting into Stock deleting my apps from the Stock Partition work to get me more space?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
See the other thread. I answered. Its open.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Echo17121:
Ok this actually jacked up my phone so I am thinking it was not a good idea to flash the kernel so long after flashing the rom? The clock on my lock screen would not update, my music would not play, it started freezing and locking up, and told me that a process system was not responding. I am trying to do what I did before and delete the rom slot and restore my old backup but it won't let me factory reset and it also just failed installing the backup.

Also other random question when I finally get this working again, do you install safestrap on the new rom slot rom as well as the stock rom? Or just leave it on stock and that's it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:

I don't have a Twitter account, but Hash's main Twitter page seems to indicate he is actually working on SafeStrap for the MotoX at the moment. If I recall correctly, here on XDA, I think he may have mentioned working on kexec a little while back, but I haven't seen anything to indicate that he is actively working on it at the moment. Please correct me if I'm wrong because I'm definetly looking forward to kexec. Of course, SafeStrap is doing a great job of holding me over until then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djmcho:
yes custom roms available for ME7

I feel like we need clarity. Here is my experience:

YOU CAN USE CUSTOM ROMS with Verizon Galaxy S4 with the ME7 OTA update. Someone just needed to put that out there.. that clearly.

You need:

1. To be rooted. Here is the link: - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2380325

2. Safestrap Recovery 3.6 (a TWRP based recovery) - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2441441

3. Safestrap Recovery Kernel Module .ZIP (Install this over every rom before rebooting into new roms) http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=507

I have tested and used Hyperdrive RLS9.1 and Bonestock 1.1.4 with out any FCS or other problems (granted I only testing for 2 days now).

Hey. haven't been able to get my s4 yet. so as a fellow AOKPer how does hyperdrive (or any other me7 rom) stack up?

We've got a pretty similar device history, so I'm curious of your opinion
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] UK_Wildcats_Fans:
AOKP & Hyperdrive

I have used a large variety of ROMs and kernels over the years, and I am still playing around and trying new ones; however, I always gravitate back to AOKP.

Hyperdrive is a Touchwiz ROM with a lot of customizations, so it is definitely way better than stock in my opinion. It is a great choice for VRUAME7 users.

When / if you get the S4, do not let them activate it in the store. It may be on MDK when it was packaged; therefore, you won't have to go through all this ME7 mess.

If it is ME7, you will like Hyperdrive better than stock but it won't have all the customizations of AOKP.

I also have a Nexus 10 tablet that I use for most of my experimenting and messing around. Even on the N10, I keep going back to AOKP.

My PC is acting up and won't let me edit my post.

One last thing. Hashcode is still working kenex which will eventually allow us to allow to use custom ROMs and kernels. Once this happens, I will most likely go back to AOKP.

I have one question. I have removed a rom from rom slot-1 and the system memory is still being taken up by the rom slot. How do I recover this space? I am to the point of using ODIN to restore my device even though this is the last thing I want to do

Did you remove just the ROM or delete the ROM slot. I believe that you need to delete the ROM slot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thunderbls:
Here is my two cents.... If you are someone who has(not necessarily uses) a bunch of apps then go for 3gb. If you want to try a few different roms at once (multiple rom slots) then the partitions have to be smaller to allow it. Its a beautiful thing to have the options, personaly i like to bounce from rom to rom so ended up creating two 2gb and then a 1gb for testing out random roms. Honestly it depends on the space you have available and what is to your liking. My apps only take up about 800mb at most and thats because I have a few apps I just like to have even though I rarely use them... So that number could be considerably lower. I know I saw hashcode post somewhere his concern with the larger 3gb partition but I ran a ROM on it for two weeks or so with out issue and have several others. Again just my 2¢

Has anyone run into an issue where the phone will just stop at the very first "Samsung Galaxy S4" opening screen? BEFORE the bootstrap step?

I was just in bootstrap and was working on moving over to JellyBeans (which I made sure worked as an alternative ROM before wiping anything). To get it clean for the future, I had the stock ROM active and chose to do an advanced wipe (Dalvik, Data, System) and now I cannot get back INTO safestrap (which I used to do the wipe).

Just strange. I kind of hope Safestrap didn't somehow delete its own files during the wipe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
not suppose to do advance wipe when stock rom is active. You will need to odin original back is my understanding
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] T3T3droid:
decaturbob is correct, I'm sorry to say... If you wipe system while stock is active you CAN NOT recover. You will have to Odin and start from scratch.

Yea, you killed your operating system.

I already got it recovered this morning and back to normal pretty quick, (I had all apps backed up via titanium).

I figured Safestrap had a protection against deleting itself or messing up the boot process.

Wait, so how does this work?

I just installed two roms. Hyperdrive and Jelly 'beans' with 3gb partitions.

Does that mean I can only install 3gbs of apps? I have way more apps than that and a 32gb phone.

I have Hyperdrive installed into my stock system (ME7 phone), and it works perfectly. I installed it using Safestrap just as if I was installing into a ROM slot, and it worked perfectly. I wiped everything, cache/dalvik/system. I have to wonder how it worked for me then.

What I have gathered is that anything that is capable of running with the stock kernel (TW based) can be flashed to the stock system. It seems like in his case nothing was flashed back to the stock system causing the errors.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] T3T3droid:
That's exactly right. You flashed before rebooting which left you with a stock system of hyperdrive... they didn't flash anything before rebooting which left them without a stock system.

This strikes me with an idea. ? - Has anyone tried doing a Nandroid backup of their Slot Rom (Say Hyperdrive), and restoring it to Stock side? :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] roboots21:
Not sure if that would work because of there being some sort of indicator for what slot the ROM is running in ..

If you are going to do that .... why not do what I did ..

Download Hyperdrive and modules fix.

Activate stock ROM slot.

Wipe cache/dalvik/system (safestrap is installed in etc. not system so it is ok to do).

Flash Hyperdrive (don't reboot at end of Aroma).

Flash modules fix.

Reboot.

Profit.

I had my laptopper with Odin ready to go just in case, but I didn't need it :).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Was just thinking with my idea, I could keep all my settings, theming, ect... intact with current Hyperdrive setup.

Google Play Music Error

I installed safestrap and flashed Hyperdrive in ROM slot 1. Everything works perfectly except that when I try to play music through Google Play Music, I get an error saying space unavailable for any song that's not an MP3/FLAC file already on my phone, including music I've made available for offline play through the app (which I guess caches the song to the device). I'm guessing this is due to the 3GB data partition running out of space, though Titanium Backup says I have 717MB free on my "Internal+Media" partition. Anyone have any idea for a workaround or fix for this?
