Sorry if this has already been asked, but is the Genie option in the Aroma installer the DirectTV genie? Asking for a friend before I load his phone. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Didn't work. It booted the Android updating app then a quick message about a new setting being default off (or something like that) rebooted to Samsung and did nothing.

I been reading about what files need to be edited from many threads about ink effect.

I'm going to try to get it working

On the mj7 files
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Weird I got it to work flawlessly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sxrmafia:
Do we have the functionality to switch from 2g to 3g/4g mode like in the international version on this rom ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
I don't see any options in the network settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ok awesome thanks will be doing it tonight. When the kid goes to bed . Thanks for all your help. Will post back I use the pda option for that file correct just making sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Hey I do that under pda right? Just making sure. Thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
The ROM image goes under pda the pit file goes under pit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Got ya thanks do you know if you flash the one with the aroma do you still flash the root zip? Or should I just go with the stock one? Just want to change the color of my signal white can't be seen thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
What? There is no aroma in odin. It makes your phone stock. Then you root and flash new recovery and such.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I know I ment once I do that and if all goes well to flash this rom again or should I just flash frame work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
Make sure you flash the mdk and not a newer one. Then flash whatever rom you want. You do understand you will loose everything on your phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Yes I got it backed up through Google and all that no worries. I got the one from here where it says no wipe . From ooenyoureyes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
That will work. Even though it says no wipe the PIT file will WILL wipe. It will repartition your phone. It will be out of the box new.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Awesome. OK will post back later tonight after son goes to bed I am going to get it done and will post back thanks for the file and your fast responses and help :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
No problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] res0prw2:
If I wanted to replace the boot animation with my own, where is the og file I need to replace?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] earthsound:
That worked. Thanks for the pointer. Perhaps it should be added to OP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Will do:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
I need to be able to adb push to system/app. This flashing a new zip every time is annoying. Even if I mount the system as rw I still get permission denied. what do I need to do to adb push?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Flash ktoonsez's TW 4.3 kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2294083&nocache=1, it's the only one I've found that's adb as root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
I still get read only file system
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
PM sent....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
I push system/apps

I'm using Talexop

Weird
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
I got it figured out. Old and slow pointed out that I had to remount system, something we didn't have to do back in WWFascinate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Capp5050:
Bad Nandroid date?

Anyone else getting Nandroid backups with bad dates; e.g., a date of January, 1980 (or 1970 I can't remember)?

Using Philz recovery 5.18.2. Based on searching the Philz thread, it seems that when this issue happens it's usually has something to do with the ROM, which is why I'm asking here...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
My understanding is that this is a cwm/samsung thing. It was happening on the S3 as well over several different builds of cwm.

You can usually rename them with no problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Cwm, twrp, philz I have never had a date that was other than jan 01 1980, even after renaming them.

the date remains.

Even before flashing a rom,

The very first backup after rooting was the same
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadget!:
That's been my experience as well.

Sent from a Galaxy S4... Far far away
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Protibus:
I've only experienced this with TWRP. I am using Philz Touch CWM 6.0.3.7 now and dates are all correct in backups.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
The newest one I believe, in all those settings there was a way to configure date and time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
Who the hell does a back up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Lmfao...

I only ever back up if I'm going to test a rom and the rom I'm on is worth going back to. (^_-)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Real men don't backup using recoveries.

Real men pull the flash memory chip from their phone and use an electron microscope to view and copy the binary data for their ROM from the chip into a text file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
I've honestly only done 1 back-up and that was upon recieving my dev. ed. because I knew that we had no safety net, meaning no odin package to rescue us when we fubar'ed our phone. The one time that I restored with that nandroid, I wound up in imei hell when trying to load another rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
lol, I don't bother with backups, im just gonna flash a new rom tomorrow anyway so why bother.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Same here. That's actually why I gave up on TWRP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Hey Gunnermike speaking of backups how in the world do I take one off? Some how CWM didn''t install correctly and when i go into recovery mode i have a android guy down with a red triangle. Won''t let me back up. I also tried flashing a TWRP zip but it still goes to the messed up CWM. Old&Slow has been helping me out. Can't seem to get past this. If i factory reset? I shouldn't loose root correct? Than hopefully that will be gone and i can just install TWRP thought goomanager. Even when i run script it goes to that CWM. I ran that pit file you gave me thank. once i get this fixed flashing this rom and I will let you know if that fixed my sd issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
I have no idea. I wasn't kidding, I don't do backups.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
So should I just flash the rom than lol and see if it fixed my issue? if not i have to odin back to stock img anyway
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
Sure do a full wipe and flash again. Try a new ROM. Try a 4.4 ROM. The longest Ive ever gone without flashing a new ROM is about a week and a half.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Capp5050:
Phil does provide a way to set time and date but it has no effect on the nandroid backup date. This is the first time I've experienced this phenomenon, and even though it seems to be fairly common (when I was running Bonestock with Philz/CWM the date set correctly).

Why make a Nandroid? Maybe I read something interesting on xda about how to save battery by disabling a system app or service. I try it, and forget about it. Then I flash a. Zip file with another mod, and again, etc., etc. 2 weeks later my device is acting up, who knows why, or which of the 'tweaks' that I made caused the problem. Resolution? Restore a nandroid backup that I made when everything was working fine and dandy. I :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
2 weeks? Eh. If my phone screws up I'll just flash a new ROM. There are like 42 ROMS for the S4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Problem i can't install a rom due to the CWM is messed up so i cant delete cache, delvik or anything it just shows the green guy laying down witth error written. This is another reason i need to fix that part. If i do a factory reset from my phone will that get rid of this? And keep my root or would i just have to root again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
If you can install rom manager on your phone have it re-flash your CWM. If not you can flash it with Odin. You wont need to wipe if you just flash CWM in Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
ok I tried doing it trough the phone and still get the green guy with the triangle. So just find a zip of cwm and flash in odin? I have a zip of TWRP I could do that with or I can find a CWM one. Hope that works will try when I get home at work now thanks for all this help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gunnermike:
TWRP has a better interface however CWM just works better. You can google CWM touch and download the Odin version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Awesome. Ill do that when I get off. Thanks again. I am used to both but I will go with cwm. Report back with the results. At work downloaded rom mamager by jrummy it installed working CWM Touch flashing rom when I get home will post back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Was able to get the aroma version to flash but not the stock. Doing some testing today with pictures and apps moving to sd and restarting my phone to see if it fixed the corruption issue if so I will flash aroma again and customize to my liking :) any settings you would recommend?

Sweet!:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Powell730:
I don't think this is specific to this rom cuz it's been a problem of mine for a while but since I'm running this rom I figured I'd ask here.

Anyone else getting very blurry mms pics when using the stock messaging app? Outgoing and incoming. It's so annoying and I can't figure out how to fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
No, the pics I receive are pretty good. Use it for work all of the time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Powell730:
What about outgoing messages?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
As far as I know, they're ok. Nobody has complained yet anyway. The pics look ok on my end as I'm sending them. Do other pictures you take look ok?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Powell730:
All pictures I take look fine. But when I send or receive them in messaging they're extremely blurry. I'm going to do a full wipe including internal storage right now, been wanting to do it for a while. Hopefully that fixes it. My blue tooth in my car doesn't work properly either(doesn't show contact names) so hopefully this will fix both.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
*crossing fingers*:D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Powell730:
hopefully youre still awake to possibly help me! I don't know what i did but i did full wipe (internal storage etc), installed the rom, it booted up fine and i re did all my settings, put all my apps back on there and then restarted my phone (as i normally do after the initial boot up/setup) and now i cant get past the Samsung logo. ive wiped again and it seems to reinstall fine and then when it tries to boot it just gets stuck on the Samsung logo. ive tried restoring a backup and it says restore failed.... starting to get a little worried. i say a little because im still able to access my custom recovery and as far as i know im able to get into download mode. so i don't think it's "bricked" but i am concerned i may have to odin to a factory image resulting in my loss of root!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Same here, nothing @ all blurry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
What recovery are you running?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
What version did you install? Aroma? Or stock? I had same problem. I use CWM and installed aroma worked great. See if you can get into download mode
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Aroma installed version. Is there anyway to try the dark themed without losing your data? Or do you pretty much have to re do the whole thing? Wasn't sure if you could just do delvik and cache for those.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Just do dalvik and cache and dirty flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Powell730:
I'm using TWRP.... I can get into download mode/recovery still... Am I able to use TWRP to flash CWM??? Or do I have to do that through the OS w/ the phone on? Someone suggested getting into factory recovery and wiping there but I thought once you installed a custom recovery that wipes the factory recovery???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
try this recovery

Philz touch

just flash it in your recovery then reboot recovery twrp should be replaced with philz touch
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Powell730:
tried it and now I cant get into any recovery, telling me I have system software not approved by Verizon...... looking like I have to odin.. 1 question.. is there a way to pull off some files before I odin back???? I never thought about that. never mind, just realized I downloaded the mdk file that doesn't wipe data. im just going to odin back and be done w/ it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Powell730:
OK so after all that I'm still having the same 2 problems. If I take, for example, a screen shot of something (words in particular) and send it via messaging the words are blurry. And the bluetooth in my car won't display the names on the screen even tho it has in the past and does with other phones. I'm at a loss.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Sounds like hardware

To rule out software.

Pull what you need off the phone. Use the pit file in Odin to wipe plus the stock factory mdk see if your problem persists. If it does, something with the phone is most likely bad.

Don't take the ota..

Once you see if it's good reroot

Recovery Rom etc.

Good luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nydalxy:
Thanks for this rom! It's been running great since I flashed it 2 days ago. I just have one issue.. When I receive new messages, the notification that comes up on the lockscreen shows the phone number (not the contact's name) even when the person is in my contacts. Any ideas why?

Also, does anyone have the dark messaging in a flashable zip? Just so I don't have to reflash the whole rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Mms settings look for preview message.

See screenshot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
Dark mms contacts and phone are in the op. I also posted a full options enabled a few pages back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nydalxy:
It's not that. I've had that checked since the beginning. It isn't saying "New Message" like it would if I had it unchecked. It will say the message that the person wrote but instead of saying the contact's name, it will only say their number even though that person is in my contacts.

*Edit* It's actually just for group texts that it doesn't show the contacts name. It shows up correctly when it's just a normal sms

Do you think it would have anything to do with having the dark dialer and contacts from aroma?

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

I actually just noticed when I go into my dialer and click the "Logs" tab, it shows a log for incoming and outgoing text messages. I thought that only call logs were listed in there. I don't see a way to disable it. I'm probably just going to reflash the rom and go with the stock dialer and contacts. Does anyone have these stock apks in a flashable zip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CC268:
Hmm..tried rewiping and flashing 3 times. like I said the bloated version seems to work, but the barebones version force closes. No big deal.

To be honest a lot of the Aroma options don't seem to work. I chose Verizon boot up and boot sound on and neither worked.

just want to say very nice job on this rom, i am loving how smooth and clean it is. just made the switch to this from hyperdrive rls11 because it was too glitchy for me.

anyway, quick question. has anyone run an antutu benchmark test on a phone with this rom yet? i have run a 3dmark, quadrant, and vellamo benchmark, but anytime i try to run antutu, it causes my phone to crash and i have to do a battery pull to get it running again. i have tried uninstalling antutu and redownloading, but that doesn't fix it. it really doesn't bother me since i am happy with how it is running, just wasn't sure if anyone else had run into this issue yet.

thanks again!

I just wanted to say thanks to old&slow & r_hippy for all your help in solving my problem. Finally everything is good didn't want to celebrate early lol . Got a question though did aroma version can I just dirty install the dark dialers and stuff or would I have to do a full wipe? Probably full wipe figured I would ask . That pit file and all the help I received from both of you and others was beyond. Thanks again
