[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nick3193:
I've been running on the Darkslide rom now for a while and I'm ready for some updates. After reading all the positive comments in the thread I've decided this one is definitely the way to go. So, backups of everything are getting saved off now and the rom itself is downloading. I do have a couple questions though, being relatively new to Android. First, what is Aroma? Just an installer? Next, I can see the benefits of letting all my apps reinstall from Google Play as opposed to restoring them entirely from backup, but wouldn't that mean I'd have to go back into every one and reset all the settings, log in, etc. as well as lose any progress in games that don't track that in the cloud? What's the risk in restoring data? For that matter, how much risk is there in just restoring everything that's not system level? I would think that would be much faster than downloading it all.

On a side note, many thanks to old&slow for putting this together and continually improving upon it! Thanks also to all the people posting in the thread - it's by far been one of the most helpful I've seen on the site!

Think you could include TW Email with the exchange security removed, the one from the 4.2 ROM's doesn't work? The AOSP one is available however I like the TW version better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
I've been restoring non-system apps and data without any problems. But there can always be that one app that may cause problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
I'm not ashamed to admit that that's above my pay grade.:o But I will do some looking around to see if someone else has modded one yet.

Edit: I never thought it would suck to be one of the first carriers to get an update. Usually we're last and someone from another carrier has already made some of the mods.:(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nick3193:
Fair enough. :) If I do run into that one app I can always just go back and start over with a fresh install. Thanks again!!

That's a kernel. The first one didn't work, bad zip. I put it in another zip and it still asks for pin.

If you don't mind third party, Enhanced Email does this.

And I thought someone posted a link to the TW client with bypass earlier on this thread.

The method to do this on the international version doesnt seem to work with verizon one imagine that! I'll get this figured out might take a few

I took it down because its not working yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cvondra:
Just an FYI. I have attempted to install Visual Voice Mail and My Verizon during the Aroma install with no love. I thought maybe you had added .bak to the VVM apk like the OG rom but it does not appear at all. I am assuming its something wrong with the Aroma build. Any insight would be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alxoom33:
Yeah I was able to dl it on tablet, but did not work. Security on 4.3 TW is tough! Thank you for your efforts. :sly:

This is the Tether unlock method I used. Working perfectly for me. iPad, Mac, other tablets. So far so good.

As far as abusing and whatnot, I use a Vulkano Box to place shift my cable to my tablet using my phone. Football games, Hockey, baseball.....you name it. Never give up that Unlimited data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
I screwed up on the coding it is installed in the system folder instead of system/app folder. If you have root explorer or a file manager with root privileges just move it into the system/app folder fix permissions and reboot. I'll upload a fix zip for the Verizon apps my Verizon will also be the same way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
I fixed it in the rom itself and will upload later this evening. Link in the OP probably wont be right until in the morning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] asdecker:
Everything is working great here! Except for what a few posted said was tether? I did see a few posts up a thread showing how to unlock the tether.

I've enabled double tap home too launch Google Search in Wanam, but it's not working. All my other Wanam settings are working.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] asdecker:
It was not included. I did see the zip in the OP and flashed it and now it indeed works. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
You used the the aroma installer and it didnt work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] asdecker:
Well I flashed with Twrp so I didn't see aroma at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Then you didn't flash the newest version...Aroma launches from within TWRP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
Standard battery in blue maybe? I was goint to make a .zip for blue standard battery icon, toggles, switches, radio buttons and check boxes. Does that sound ok?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mdonnelly1127:
Now I've tried flashing some of the addons like the extended power menu and so on but I flash in TWRP and they aren't installing.... any advice?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] asdecker:
Ok. I flashed the legacy build below. Any reason to flash the 11/15 build? Everything seems to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
You should always make sure you have flashed the latest zip It will usually include all the mods built into the rom so you dont have to flash individually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
The 11/15 build has the option to install the dark dialer and contacts. That's all the reason I need. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ForevermanRGPC:

I like this ROM!

11/15/13 version, MJ7 Radio flashed.

1). How can i confirm in the ServiceMode that AWS is ON? I imagine it is on by default, but I don't know. I probably won't be in a Band 4 area for some time but am curious to check that it is configured to be on so I can see it on the ServiceMode, [7] Debug Screen, [1] Basic Information when I do go to a Band 4 area.

2). How do a turn WB-AMR off and on with this ROM? It seems some ROMs you can go to the ServiceMenu, [1] UMTS, and there is a "WB-AMR SETTINGS" but I only have a "WB-AMR Status" that shows it all off, with no way to turn it on. I know Verizon doesn't have it turned on in their system yet, I was just checking if we can be ready day one when they do turn it on.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Same here lol.. EPIC . Will be backing up as soon as I get home and reflashing the updated. Has anyone tried the exposed framework mod? Wondering if it worked. I saw it posted, just no comments on it. Thanks and Great job.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dvsgod:
I put the initial build of this on my phone never having any other ROMs I was at stock MDK with just root. I dirty flashed with only wiping the cache and everything works perfect. I changed ktoonzs kernel to default and I have great battery life no WiFi or Bluetooth problems. I have not checked the slow motion camera as I've never used it. And everything works perfect with my gear watch. I flashed the MJ7 modem, at one point I had 25mbps download, only slight problem is that I have not reached over 2 mbps since.

one question I do have is I heard with aosp messaging it would break the notifications sent to the gear watch has anybody had any luck on this? would like to dark theme my messaging and only heard you could do it with aosp, TouchWiz will not work.

Thank You old&slow for porting this and everybody else that was involved in the project so far, maybe you should change the ROM name to "Slow Beans" to give it a personalized identity

Side note: only thing I'm missing preference wise is torch mod on volume or power menu so I can get rid of the toggle, and darker themed messaging like the international dialer

Edit: Tried the slow mo camera and locked up with reboot

Same issue here. Is it possible this is related to removing the Knox files? Perhaps that was integrated in some way with enterprise WPA2 PEAP WiFi.

It is doing what it was before the first WiFi fix--it instantly disables WiFi so it never really gets a chance to turn on.

Thanks for trying though! I'll be glad to try any new ones out.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wowthatisrandom:
can you tell me what the fix was? id like to use this w ktoonz kernel if possible
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
After you flash my fix you could try to flash Koontz kernel but don't flash wifi fix and see if it works. My zip puts back all stock wifi files and edits the build.prop file so Koontz kernel may work with the edited build.prop file

This is exactly what I was waiting for. I'll be testing this shortly.

Hi.

Was wondering, and sorry for the question if it has been asked before. I had mdk when I bought the phone. I rooted normally and flashed a few roms, along with some modem radios. Currently I'm running latest Hyperdrive and I have on phone info:

model # sch-l545

baseband vruemj7

build # vruame7

can I flash this one? also I'm running elite kernel to be able to use the pic-in-pic camera option. does it runs fine with this build? as well as air gestures/view?

thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrbracht:
Thank you. Is there any way you could do it with percent battery? :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
If u r mdk then u can flash this and flash a pip kernel. Rom fast stable all gestures work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aztheroth:
I guess I;m on mdk, I mean, I never did any safestrap or loki'd stuff. What kernel do you recommend for pip to work? I guess the elite kernel I'm using doesn't work with this build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
PIP works fine without any changes...flash the current Aroma build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Is darkside elite kernel? I'm not sure if chronic kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aztheroth:
yes, is darkside elite kernel. I'll try with the kernel included on the rom first, if it doesn't work, I'll start checking other. Is there a list of kernels that work with this rom?

thanks for all the help and info
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
As noted, no kernel change required with new Aroma build. The included kernel does it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aztheroth:
just flashed it. looks great. one question. is there a link for the Infinite Scroll? tried the one on the op but the link doesn't work. also the link for the battery circle with % link doesn't work.

Update posted in OP. PEAP wifi fix is now built in.:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] r_hippy:
That's weird I did use it one time and updated through Samsung and worked.

I just checked it again and your correct it's no longer working.

Only major thing I changed was the kernel. From ktweaker to talexop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blulite:
I'm curious what mods have been worked here around Kernel, wifi, etc.

The newest Aroma installer package includes Talexop's kernel. Am I correct to think that the only two choices for kernels are Talexop and Ktoonsez?

what are the original wifi files? where did they come from, and if the original files were not included in the previous Aroma where did the "new" version of the wifi files come from?

The reason I ask is I'm having troubles with OpenVPN and BT tethering over Wifi, both of which "might" be related to the wifi setup.

One last item, since this ROM has become a "thing" we may want to start with version numbers, and a changelog to answer what is changing. Things like what kernel, what mods, etc.

Has anyone made the volume hack on mj7 yet? I used to live the slight increase one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] old&slow:
There was a wifi-fix posted at the beginning of the thread that allowed wifi to work better with ktoon's kernel. This latest build posted this morning reverts all of those wifi files back to the originals and then the stock but loki'd kernel is used. The files in the original wifi-fix I believe were from 4.2.2 judging by the date on the files themselves.
