[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
THIS IS ONLY FOR USERS ON MDK BOOTLOADER WITH CUSTOM RECOVERY (cwm or twrp)

THIS WILL NOT AFFECT BOOTLOADER OR MODEM AS THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED.

NOT COMPATIBLE WITH SAFESTRAP.

GENERAL DISCLAIMER : YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE!

This is for those decided to never take any OTAs and hold on to their MDK bootloader. This is also for those of us with the Dev Ed that apparently won't ever see any updates....not that we'd take them anyway.:p I pulled apart joderme's .tar file, got rid of all the bad stuff (bootloader & such), and kept the good stuff.

Jrkruse took this base and added some Aroma goodness to it. He also ported over the sweet dark dialer and contacts from the int'l version.:good: This build also includes a custom loki'd kernel by Talexop . Surge1223's wifi tether mod and swgamez reboot menu are also included.

Aroma Options:

Stock features or :

Custom Boot ani. (Stock, Samsung or G.E.)

Dark Dialer :D

Dark Contacts :D
