Yes, I saw that link. It doesn't claim to be an exhaustive list of ROMs, and it doesn't say that other ROMs won't work with Safestrap as the recovery to install them. I'm back up and running on 4.4.4, and understand Safestrap better now. My point was that as someone who has done lots with custom ROMs in the past, both on the GS4 back when it was Jelly Bean, and previous phones, it is not clear at all that Safestrap isn't just another recovery to install any ROM for the phone.

I'm done arguing about this. But you'd think, if people complain about how many times this question gets asked, maybe the information should be a bit more readily available and clear. In the end, all it cost me was a few hours.

Edit: I finally found it, here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2428254, in the Safestrap Q&A. But the Q&A is usually I place I go if I'm having problems, not the place I start. "Also, at this time, only TW based ROMs will work with SS. CM, AOSP, AOKP, MIUI, etc will not work." And the link to that thread is listed on the AT&T Thread under Recovery as just Q&A, right under the link to the development thread. Nothing there indicates it's crucial information.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Droidmissionary:
I understand, word of advice as of now, SS is mostly only available to flash tw roms with I think one exception. Now, the reason there's so many short tempers when you ask that, because it's been asked before, possibly over 100 times and if you search this thread alone, you will pull up countless other posts already answered SS doesn't work with this, when they refer to twrp they mean the original twrp not SS version

I understand, but I had no way of knowing that and no reason to search the thread for Safestrap. To me, it looked just like any other custom recovery. I searched the thread for AT&T. AT&T users were successfully installing this ROM. And you'd think, if it gets asked THAT OFTEN, maybe it should be in the first post. Had it been there, I (and everyone else who asks it) would have had no reason to even try.

(And I didn't even ask. After it failed, I searched the thread for it, and found my answer. But I had no reason to expect I needed to beforehand. Anyway, my phone's back up and running with this ROM http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att/development/please-post-moving-t3013132)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Locoman_:
Thank you for the reply.

What I think happened was that I used flashify to update twrp while on this rom and it must have gave me a jgedlte specific twrp. So I couldn't flash fjlteatt roms. So I changed the build prop entries to jflteatt, rebooted and installed twrp again using Rashr's recovery tool (as it shows which device's twrp it's installing) and once I got the jflteatt twrp installed, I was back in business.

I recently posted that I'm trying to get on the lollipop Rom but my jeboo recovery will not flash (I'm using the one discussed for the at&t version, I've tried 2.7 but before 2.4 worked but whenever I rebooted into recovery that was supposed to be jeboos it was back to twrp) so I've been asking to figure this out. Also I noticed in the op that it says to make sure you have the newest modem for your variant, but I've never had to flash any modems so I was wanting to see if this may be the issue? And what modem is suggested, I'd rather ask someone directly than just hope someone else is correct without researching.

Someone help please, I need to flash this lollipop!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Droidmissionary:
Well Firstly, modem version should not impair the flashing of your recovery. I'm assuming you are already running the previous version of this rom? Generally you can safely just flash the recovery.zip and upon rebooting, the recovery will be the new version. When you flash the jeboo recovery, what message do you get at the end of the flash, successful. .fail. .. etc. ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danielhammons1:
See I've flashed before and it worked but whenever I rebooted again it wasn't there, now the only message I get says "failed" for both versions 2.4 and 2.7...

Any ideas?

And I am on the older version of this Rom the 4.4.4 version

Someone knows something I'm sure? Please lol

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mattgyver:
You mean things like Air View, Smart Scroll, etc? Those are Samsung proprietary. Those settings don't exist in this ROM. You'd need to either download an official stock firmware from Samsung, or download a stock-based ROM. GPE ROMs won't include them.

Quick question. I tried to search but came up with zilch. I'm on AT&T and of course have the I337 but this rom displays 9505G as my model number. It's not a big deal just a minor annoyance. Anyone know a fix?

This rom is just fantastic Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jonmassot:
It's in the build.prop. The question was already answered somewhere. The 9505G is the same as the I337, so nothing to worry about.

The question was answered in a thread I can't recall, not in this one, sorry ;)

Did you use Titanium Backup's last option, force uninstall using exploit?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TRusselo:
no just regular un-install. the reason you need TiBu is because gravitybox was installed in system/app folder. requiring root access to un-install.

no fancy exploits needed. if you are updated to the newest dandroid, there is no need to uninstall gravitybox. it will update fine, or leave it disabled in xposed installer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Quick question about GE Roms before flashing. I currently use TW and I have to send a lot of group texts for work. In TW I can open contacts, go to a group, select the contacts from that group I want to include and send a mass text to all. The last time I tried aosp kitkat, there was no option to do that. If I wanted to send a group text I had to type the name of each contact individually to add them to the recipient list. As a matter of fact I couldn't even get to contacts unless I went through the phone app and then my groups were not synced, but my G+ circles were. I couldn't figure out a way to send a mass text to a circle either or I would've used that as a work around. Is the same in this rom as well? I really need to be able to select from groups in contacts to ensure I don't forget someone in a text.

AOSP browser? go flash a AOSP rom. this is GE (google edition) rom. no unnessecary aosp stuff here bud.

I think I solved it. If you disable Wifi, and THEN reboot with mobile data enabled then it should show your carrier when it comes back up. I can't do it more then once without re-flashing the ROM again to confirm, but everything else I tried failed. After the reboot I re-enabled Wifi and it's still showing "AT&T" for me.

Hey folks, I am experiencing some rare Wi-Fi drops using the latest build which is buttery smooth.

I would like to update my phone to the latest bootloader and modem, as recommended by danvdh and Kryten.

Could anyone tell me what is HLOS and advise me about it?

My device is the I337m on Bell mobility.

Many thanks guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cantenna:
As i understand it HLOS is the. WiFi driver. If you want to upgrade it to a newer version then you must also upgrade as well to its compatible corresponding boot loader and to do this, you need to flash a full stock fw via Odin or Sam. If you try to upgrade HLOS without boot loader you will end up with a bootable proper softbrick which in my experience can only be fixed by flashing back to stock anyways. The only time you flash HLOS alone is if it is compatible with current installed bootloader and you are having WiFi issues.

I recently upgraded from Danvdh 08\30\2014 build. I like this new lollipop build! My antutu score on Dan's Kitkat was 29k with stock kernel but on this ROM with stock kernel its only 16k. Any comments on why such a difference? Rom felt just as fluid. I have heard before it argued antutu is a poor indicator of actual ROM performance but I don't know why that is, anyone know?

I didn't try any other kernel other than stock because I'm using mounting obb folder to extsd.

Yes, I have read too benchmark scores don't speak well at all to the fluidity of a ROM but stock kernel vs stock kernel the score diff between kitkat and lollipop seem to suggest lollipop is more resource demanding than KitKat was for the gs4? Correct?

I suppose what I'm trying to gauge is based on the hardware limitations of the gs4, does KitKat perform better than lollipop on this hardware? I ask in this thread because I'm using dansvdh KitKat build currently but also tried this lollipop build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danielhammons1:
I thought it may be a issue with lollipop or the rom since the launcher it came with (the one I chose on aroma installer) works quick, and I've never had a single problem with Next Launcher on jellybean or Kitkat. But I'll email them and see what they say, thanks for the help though
