[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] space_pimp:
[Q] Can I use non-carrier specific ROMs found under the "Samsung GS4" section?

I've noticed there is a section for the Samsung Galaxy S4 not specific to any American carriers. Are these ROMs usable for the Verizon GS4's? Roms such as Omega, Echoe, GoldenEye, etc.

My apologies for what seems like such a basic question, thanks guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
The problem with many of the non-Verizon ROMs is that they don't have the CDMA bits that Verizon requires. With some tweaking and driver hacking you might be able to make them work.

HOWEVER: that is ONLY the case if your phone has the MDK bootloader.

If you're updated past MDK, you will not be able to install most ROMs since the only choice is Safestrap, which requires the use of a stock kernel (or at least very close to stock.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] space_pimp:
Thank you!

Yes, I still have the MDK bootloader. Is the hacking process for the CDMA bits a difficult process? Can you lead me in the right direction?

Hi, is there a way to add or remove apps from the swipe-up homebutton shortcut menu? and which launcher supports the transparant softkey background?

Yes, if you install this app, it will allow you to launch any app on your phone from the home swipe up.

[General Questions and Answers] DrRuckingFetard:
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, wasn't sure where to put this..

So i was doing a nandroid backup of my HTC One X (endeavoru) and cut and paste the nandroid backup to my computer. Nothing happened when i went to cut and paste from my phone to my computer, so I tried unplugging and replugging in the USB because I assumed it wasn't responding, and then when i opened CWM backup folder to move the nandroid backup, the nandroid zip is gone, but no space has been freed from my phone /:

Is there any way to get that 2.5GB of space back?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

So I flashed the rom, and all of the additional zips (modem, and pa gapps) and everything seems to be working perfectly, except for the SD card, which it currently is not reading for some reason. Outside of that everything else seems to be working and I'll add any additional comments if something isn't working.

I can confirm that the external SD is inaccessible from the ROM. Rear facing camera is maxing out at 8 MP. Focal crashes after taking a photo with the front camera, stock camera app works fine. Overall very smooth, though.

Hi,

Any screenshots will be of help. How is the rom performing. Is it stable enough to use as a daily driver until the nightly come out.

kailash
[LG Optimus G Pro] oblikas:
Thanks a lot man ! Much appreciated!
[LG Optimus G Pro] mrfeuss:
Screenshots won't tell you very much. Kit Kat looks very much like Jelly Bean. White status bar icons on a transparent status bar is about as different as it looks. There are plenty of screenshots of the new Google Experience Launcher for you to check out.

As far as stability goes, it's a little early to say. I've only been running it a few hours. There are a few little issues that [MENTION=4870917]oblikas[/MENTION] is aware of (external SD, Camera capped at 8MP) but otherwise it's very functional. It's extremely smooth and boots really quickly.

EDIT:

WiFi Hotspot is working-very well I might add. Using it to download the OTA for my N7.

External SD Fixed!

This can help all those who have ext-sd card issue.

I set the permissions correctly by editing 'platform.xml' file in system/etc/permissions.

Download the attachment and extract .xml file and replace the platform.xml in /system/etc/permissions using root file explorer

set permissions to rw-r-r and reboot ;)

Anybody know: Can the lockscreen wallpaper be set to a different wallpaper than the desktop wallpaper (i.e. one for desktop and another for lockscreen)?

I forgot to check before I flashed back, but I wanted to ask, as I might set it to black to work around the lack of transparency.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ricco333:
For the transparency you can use Nova Prime Beta and it will make your statusbar transparent on both launcher and lockscreen. It only works if you are on KK 4.4.

Erik
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
Well, I have Nova Prime beta 3, and it only worked on the homescreen. It did not work on the lockscreen.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ricco333:
You know, I think you are correct on that one, I use an Xposed module that makes my statusbar transparent on both lock and home screen and I also use Nova, but i'm not on KK 4.4.

Had no issues with extsd after i flashed SuperSU, btw. So maybe when you recompile with the fixed Superuser commited to CM, this shouldn't be needed. But for now its probably useful, thanks :)

EDIT2: Although, doesn't this give every app with READ permissions only, write permission as well even if it didnt ask for one?

I used the full PA package and it worked very well.

Just a quick question:

I didn't try to do this on the previous build, but is it possible to set a different wallpaper for home and lockscreen? I thought I'd use a dark one to hide the lack of transparency on the lockscreen.
[LG Optimus G Pro] oblikas:
I don't think so,customization is missing

[LG Optimus G Pro] k0p4n:
Some bugs I noticed was that when you go into the apps menu to view your apps and then press the options capacitive button, you will see the home screen settings in the background.

Maybe this isn't even a bug since I don't have an N5 and don't know how it behaves. It just seemed normal.

Also, I know how to set the LTE but I noticed that it reverts back to HSPA when you reboot the device and have to enter *#*#4636#*#* all the time.

Not that big of a deal since I don't restart my phone as much but it is certainly a bug I believe.

-edit-

In case I anger anyone, someone might have noted the above already so I apologize if the bug is a duplicate.

The extSD is a nice fix tho. I did not flash the side fix just installed the ROM and it was fine.

For those that get the status 7 error, I got that error because I had CWM 6.0.3.3.

This one guy said that he flashed madmack's TWRP and I did so but noticed that madmack said that he never tried downgrading the recovery.

This resulted in a failure at flashing.

So I had to go back to my previous rom, the unofficial 10.2 and resinstall freegee to get CWM 6.0.3.7 and successfully installed this kitkat rom, which by the way, is very very very stable!

Just needs customization but a lot of people already mentioned that.

Thanks for your help oblikas

I will continue reading these forums until we get full customization like a real CM

That's the one I'm running now, and I flashed back and forth between the latest 10.2 nightly and this to A/B compare, and I'm staying with this because even in Alpha stage it runs better than the beta stage 10.2 builds.

With customization, it would be amazing.

When Google first announced Project Butter with Jelly Bean, I was not so impressed with the results (of course I was running a Samdung ROM at the time, which was their "Project Margarine") but even pure AOSP/CM wasn't that much improved over previous versions of JB.

KitKat is a different world. What they did under the hood really produced noticeable performance gains. Not just everybody wishing it would be smooth. It finally is smooth for real.

I have a back up but I can not restore since it gives me a MD5 mismatch.

Also question.

If I do update it to mitigate, what are the chances I can restore my data? I am guessing none since its data from stock onto cm. Anybody?
