Yeah, that's why I asked....I thought the GE rom was AOSP based.

I pimpin out my friends new s4 i337. I put virginROM on it using safe strap . he was on mf3 so it had a locked boot loader. The LTE is 100% faster .... Is there a fix I don't know?

This is the ROM is it hard to port?

I used the att CSC as well. Same Sim card. The internet was just much faster

Upon further searching in the s4 forums, found that the GE or Google Play Edition, is in fact TW based.

Hyperdrive

Hi. I have Galaxy s4 active (i537)

In this topic written that I can use Hyperdrive ROm and I decided to try it

- Installed Safestrap

- Installed ROM

After system reboot , the operating system wants me to chose first configuration (Chosen language etc)

After language selected, system asks to choose wireless network , but the network card not working. I'm trying to get out of this portion of the setup , but (3 lower ) buttons do not work either .

Then I 'm trying to recovery my old system from a recovery point (which I did in Safestrap , but it was gone after flashing .

What do I do ? Have some ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] RUSSIAN8:
Fixed

I solved the problem for me very unexpected way.

I have long time click the various buttons, and tried to update ROM by boot and recovery mod, but it did not help.

Then I activated from a single available for me (icon) menu - multi windows and then I was allowed to go to the fail manager.

I has installed Safestrap and through its menu restored ROM
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
I don't think you've followed the instructions properly. The first thing I would do is read through the SafeStrap thread so that you understand exactly what you are doing to your phone and how you can mess it up. Based on your description it sounds like you messed a few things up:

It sounds like you flash Hyperdrive to your stock slot. By doing this you've erased the stock software and put a custom ROM in its place. This defeats the purpose of SafeStrap which is why you had to reinstall it. Maybe this was your intention, but if not you only have 1 option if you want to get the stock software back. There is a pre-release odin package that will allow you to flash back to stock, but you will no longer receive OTA updates for your phone. You'll be pretty much stuck with 4.2.2. You can find more information about that here.

When you did indeed flash Hyperdrive it sounds like you didn't follow the instructions. When flashing any ROM using SafeStrap you need to do it in a specific order, otherwise it won't work properly. Specifically you should never reboot your phone after flashing a ROM until you've flashed the mandatory patches. Instructions for flashing any ROM can be found in this thread, and instructions for flashing Hyperdrive properly can be found in the third post of that thread.

Like I said I'm not sure if you flashed to your stock slot intentionally or not, but either way I think you need to read more about SafeStrap to understand how it works and what exactly you're doing otherwise you could brick your phone and then you might as well throw your phone in the trash.

If you need more help let me know. I'm sure others would be willing to help as well.

I537 from Mexico

I have a doubt before I install a ROM using safestrap, my phone is from Mexico (carrier Telcel), but it says that the model is SGH-I537 and the baseband is I537UBUAMF1

can I use the steps here to install a custom rom? should I treat my phone as AT&T´s or Intl version?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] casadelbeard:
You may have to setup the APN's for your carrier manually. You should find out what cellular bands they use and match it up with the appropriate US carrier. This may be better asked in the Hyperdrive thread, as the ROM maintainers helped create the various carrier patches.

RE: Hyperdrive rom

has anyone done group messages and when you reply, you get it twice? This only seems to happen when i respond to a group text. I thought it may have something to do with the fact that I had a "me" contact in my phone and it was interferring with my google account but i deleted that "me" contact and it still happens.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] ChristopherXDA:
What's the general consensus for most popular debloated TW rom for the Active? Goldeneye, Hyperdrive, other? Just curious.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] casadelbeard:
In my experience - most debloated was Google ROM. Most functionality with tweaks, what camera to install, etc - Hyperdrive. It's my daily driver now.

GoogleROM lacked all of the Samsung hardware control panels. Hyperdrive retains these, and allows for removal of all the Samsung/AT&T bloatware.

Phone not connection with USB

Ok, so I am reeeeaaaallllyyy new at this guys, so please excuse the no0bishness.

So I have an i537. I followed the directions on the page. After rooting the phone I flashed the Google Play ROM with the bug fixes. So far, on the phone everything everything seems to work. I already love it 100000000 times better than the Samsung/AT&T bloatware combo. I can't stand touchwiz and I surely hate "social hub". My only problem now is, it will not connect to my HP Laptop, where it did effortlessly before. If I plug it in, I get the connection sound but it doesn't show up in My Computer. I went to device manager and I can see a little yellow icon under Modems and Portable devices. On the windows side I've tried updating the drivers through the wizard, and manually updating the drivers, and so far no dice. I am unfortunately running Windows 8.1 (It came on the laptop, a 300 dollar Wally World special). Any ideas........:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] HULK SMASH!!!!:
I guess I should have been more clear. I installed Google Play ROM 4.2.2. I know 4.3 isn't ready yet. So again, any idea why the phone won't show in windows 8.1 on an HP laptop?

:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
The usb thing is a known issue with GPE. A lot of users have been reporting the same issue. Unfortunately I haven't seen a solution yet. Try posting in the GPE thread, maybe there is a solution and I just missed it.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Chaingun427:
installed safestrap to try hyperdrive, and it works great, also tried deviant. Only issue i have is that neither one seems to have bluetooth audio control. the default rom syncs to the headunit in my truck and is controled by it, however on both safestrap installed roms i can hear the audio but get no control. Any idea why that would be?

Files

After I flash the rom I want and it is working, is it necessary to keep the zip drives stored on my device? I don't have much space left and don't have a external sd card yet
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Chaingun427:
i deleted mine, they are just for the initial installation as far as i know. I'd keep a copy on your pc though incase you need to reinstall it at some point

Dumb question about the camera

Ok first the stats:

i537 flashed with GPE and all the patches (Keys and MF3 master patch)

I used the camera today and I love it. Googles camera UI is so much better than Samsung's its stupid. I'm old school and of the mind, if you want a camera with "Golf Mode" buy a real camera! Keep my cell camera simple!! The only thing I can't seem to figure out are 2 things:

1) How do I zoom in and out? When I hit volume + and - it just takes more pictures. Not sure what I am missing.

2) How do you get the camera to save the pictures to the sd card? I can't seem to find a "settings" interface aside from whats on the half circle thingy.

So are these "bugs" or am I missing some setting button somewhere?

:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
1) It's pinch-to-zoom. I'm not particularly fond of this, but there it is...

2) I haven't found a way to force this. The fact of the matter is that Google doesn't play nicely with external storage, and so there is no native way.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] HULK SMASH!!!!:
Thank you sir! :good: That is indeed kinda weird, the pinch to zoom. I think I can get to like it though. Thats a little crappy not being able to save right to the sd card, but thats fine. I can always just move it over manually afterwards.

I'm still working out the USB problem too. I saw this in my drivers area : "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" So I'm going down that rabbit hole. HUZZAH!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] HULK SMASH!!!!:
Update on USB Issue

The stats:

i537 running GPE Rom with Keys & MF3 Master patches

Walmart HP Craptop running fully updated Windows 8.1

So I've tried updating the registry, and registry cleaners. I uninstalled, reinstalled and manually installed all manner of drivers. I've done an Indian rain dance and sacrificed a chicken to Cthulu. Nothing I've found on the net can get my phone to be recognised by My Computer. It is strange though that there is no exclamation point by the driver in device manager. As a last resort I went and installed MobileGo http://www.wondershare.com/android-manager/. I found it on a Google search.

Well suprise suprise that software works. I can copy from and write to the phone's internal space and my SD card. It updates apps, and does all manner of things. What I am not happy about is that its not free. Its got like a 10 day trial or some such ****.

So this begs the question. Why oh why does this software recognise my phone, yet it won't pop up in My Computer????

:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
I believe that's universally the case with the GPE ROMs. If you're comfortable with command-line interface, ADB is always an option. If you're not, now's a good time to learn ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] HULK SMASH!!!!:
What in the name of the Gods is ADB? What am I Googling to learn about this black magic you speak of sir?

Resluts are in

I appreciate the reply and I will just say that after having owned literally every Galaxy since the Epic came out I have learned to listen to folks on here, I might be a dumb redneck but I aint stupid either. I followed everything more then once and just had to keep twitchin with ol girl till I think I finally got things kinda where I can deal with it.

I had to odin about 4 weeks ago so I am back on MF1 but I have been using Xposed since before that happened. I finally installed SS and got Hyperdrive going but had the same issues as previous users. Wifi first started out randomly turning on within minutes after I flashed it so deleted and re flashed without changing steps, but without wiping after the flash and that's when the Wifi decided not to come on at all. Back and forth I went till 4 this morning. I also had the non functioning camera even with both patches installed. and numerous snags with certain features not being compatible with each other between what I can only assume was Wanam and Xposed. (turning off the ATT alone was a 2.5 hr deal and 1500 pages of threads being read) But I did get most of what I wanted off and on and relocated for now so I think there is just going to have to be a bit of acceptance with these until or if we ever do get unlocked. I appreciate all the work to get to where we even are.

That being said I ended up having success with by switching rom slots and it flashed beautifully. I chose the 4.4 Camera and Gallery during set up and it works great. Wifi came on no issues either but then shut off after a couple hours of constant use. Went into recovery and re flashed the MF1 and the ATT compatibility patches with just wiping cache and dalvick, rebooted , and hasn't slowed down in about 7 hours. I did end up flashing the Ktoonz KT747 Kernel from the Hyperdrive Hub just to see if I could get rid of a little bit of lag and it is better but not as fast nor consistant as roms I flashed with My S3 or Sprint S4. If anyone is trying the same set up and are wanting exacts of what I got running or not, just let me know. I am not a Dev but with this particular set up I went thru if not all options at east 90 percent of them. I am not disappointed at all with what the Devs have gottenout for us right now. Should only get better. Thanks to all that make it happen. Pay day is only a few days away and the beer money will be heading yalls way
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Reel E. Weird:
can i assume that the new Hyperdrive update isnt compatible with this version of safestrap?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] ChristopherXDA:
Not compatible.

Android Debug Bridge. It allows for you to do, well, pretty much ANYTHING: push and pull files, create a log, etc. There is a lot of documentation online. Look into it.

I tried installing both the wicked rom and hyperdrive on my i537 and couldn't get either to work. The wireless wouldn't enable with the hyperdrive rom and the wicked rom wouldn't even boot. I botched my first attempt at installing a rom and I'm stuck with MF1 modules. Ran the module pack with both roms and still no luck. I'm currently running the Google Play Edition rom. Can anyone help me figure out why the other two aren't working?

Specifically what I did for both ROMS:

Created ROM slot

Factory reset

Flashed ROM

Without rebooting flashed MF1 master patch

Without rebooting flashed ATT compatibility patch (hyperdrive only)

Like I said, after doing this the wifi wouldn't work in hyperdrive (but I did get it to boot) and wicked wouldn't boot at all.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] lances1027:
I got the v8 of wicked to boot for me but got no data to work which I am sure is a easy APN fix but I havent researched it yet. As far as the Hyperdrive I had the same problem a few days ago. I flashed back to stock MF1 via odin and reinstalled everything again today using the 10.2 v not 11 of the Hyperdrive rom, MF1 Masterpatch, and then ATT compatability patch. No wifi. Bacjed into recovery again then wiped dalvick and cache then re flashed the MF1 Module and wifi came right on and everything is operating well. Hope that helps. Also make sure you do not reboot untill you flash zip, MF1 then ATT patch first.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] TheBryGuy:
It worked! The key was installing the ATT patch first. I had been doing that last and apparently that was messing with the wifi modules. Thanks for the help!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] lances1027:
Glad to help. When I figure out the APN issue on Wicked I will let you know. That one I really want to try out. I hate being stuck on MF1
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
You need to flash the modules patch after the AT&T Compatibility Patch for Hyperdrive because it contains kernel modules for the AT&T S4.

USB drivers

I'm not sure when this stopped working, but I used safestrap and installed the google nexus ROM, which works fine. However, I'm not able to connect my phone to my computer and copy files over usb. Windows doesn't see it. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the samsung drivers, but no change. Anybody else have this issue? My phone will charge over usb, but I don't see it listed anywhere as a drive. I just want to copy the hyperdrive rom from my pc to my phone over usb.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] lances1027:
If you are using SS I assume you have your stock rom in the slot one. If you have tried the normal remedies and tried a different cable, changed ports that you plug into and so on then just switch over to stock slot and it should pick it up again, download, change slots and create a new one and install Hyperdrive. Dont forget that you cannot install v11. Needs to be 10.2, then the module MF???, then the Att Pack if thats your carrier. If wifi doesnt work the go back and re inatall MF pack and beboot with no system wipe before. Just Dalvik and cache

If you look thru they QandA section that issue seems to be common with certain ROMS. I had no issues with the Hyperdrive. Runs like a champ
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] monkeyhouse:
Mine, just lists the stock rom slot as stock. I used slot one for GE and was going to use slot two for Hyperdrive. I do have the compatibilty pack ready as well. Just wanted to copy the hyperdrive zip to my sd card slot over usb. I am still using the stock ROM and having this issue. I have tried a few things more than you mentioned.

---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

I should clarify that I am still using the stock ROM on my AT&T sgh-i537. I was however able to fix the issue by running the *#0808# and switching to MTP+ADB
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] lances1027:
You are correct. Stock is not slot one. So when you go into recovery and mount the stock slot it still will not pick it up? Did you check if Usb debugging was check in tge security settings? Not trying to be an ass just a thought
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] monkeyhouse:
I didn't see that as being an ass at all, sometimes just having another set of eyes, helps you see little things like that. I will say that with the phone connected to usb and turning off or on usb debugging I could hear windows either find or disconnect my device. I was finally able to get it to work running *#0808# and selecting MTP+ADB. I am still using the stock rom until I find a different version I like. Right now, I am leaning toward Hyperdrive.

---------- Post added at 01:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

Thanks for pointing that out about the versions. I never saw that I couldn't use version 11 of Hyperdrive. Even on the installation walk through, for att, it just says install latest hyperdrive ROM. Great heads up, thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] lances1027:
That master patch help alot but still no stock camera. I like the 4.4 camera. I was also backwards with the order. The 10.2 then Att Pack, then Mf?? Modules. I have a annoying bug with MMS texts also. Anytime I send or receive a Mms it automatically makes it a group text and sends it back to myself also. Went tgru all the mms setting and cant seem to shut that off so if you have the same and figure a fix let me know
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] monkeyhouse:
Thanks again. There is a setting for that in sms, I think it says send MMS messages as goup or something similar. BTW, I wonder if this will work for camera?

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] lances1027:
I think he has the 360 Camera in the options when you flash the 10.2. It may be in the Wiked rom options though. Dont remember exactly. I unchecked both the MMS options but still does it. Gonna double check though cause thats annoying as hell. I dont need to receive multiples of my own peckers pics. I know what it looks like!! Lol.

Hyper

Hey guys, has anyone ran into this issue trying to install HyperDrive ROM? I create the ROM slot, set it at 1GB, data at 1GB, install Hyperdrive 10.2 ROM, install AT&T compatibility pack and install the MF3 masterpatch. It runs through the install fine, I get all the options of what to install, have no issues during the install, no issues adding the other zip files. Reboot, see the recovery menu, do nothing, it shuts off, well, I see a black screen, but the phone appears to have shut down. I've let it sit there 15-20 minutes, but it never comes back, I have to power it on. I'm thinking about re-downloading the HyperDrive ROM zip, but since it runs through the install successfully, I am not sure that is the issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] lances1027:
What other zip drives? You should only have the main zip, att pack and the Mf?? Modules
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] monkeyhouse:
Zip drives?? did I say drives? I thought it was clear when I wrote that, but I could be wrong. By the 3 zip "files" I meant the ROM, the att compatibility pack and the mfp. Sorry for the confusion
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] lances1027:
I was the confused one. I thought you might have added some other zip files on top of the masterpatch.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] monkeyhouse:
I'm hoping it's just a corrupted download, I really want to try this ROM out. I did see where someone else had the same issue and I swear I thought he said he flipped the order of the two patches to backwards and it worked. Not sure I want to try that though.

Do you think it's the size? I figured that would be checked during install. I'll try one more time on a bigger rom slot and capture the logs to make sure. I do have another rom in slot one.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] lances1027:
Try changing the slot sizes. I used 2500mb, 2000mb, and 300. The rom itself is 1.4 gb

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

Only issue I have seen do to installing the modules first or last is with wifi connection. I have gotten it to boot everytime. But you might be right the md5 might be currupt.

Put me down as another HyperDrive success story. Pretty cool ROM, very quick reboots. Is there a way to stop the new ROM available notification? I'm assuming it won't work.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] lances1027:
If you are still working on this I dont believe the rom dictates the patch you use. From my research it is necessary to install the module that your phone is currently running on. Go to settings/more/about phone and look at the Baseband Version. Mine is I537UCUAMF1. The MF1 being the module you would choose. I am on MF1 due to Odin back to stock

Just wanting to see if anyone using the Hyperdrive 10.2 is having any issues with MMS messages. I cannot send a MMS to more then one person or it wont send. Comes back as message failed. Also anytime I do a group SMS it turns it into a MMS then sends it back to me also. I have tried changing all settings in Messaging but nothing changes. Any thoughts??
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] captaincado:
For this, there is a module in exposed framework that will force an oversize SMS to be NOT converted to MMS.
