I managed to get the update from the torrent option. So far so good. Allucard wasn't cutting it for me so I'm back on Googy and not looking back. Holy man is Viper kick some ass! My Kicker headphones have never sounded so amazing. This is the greatest ROM ever made. No joke. Amazing in every way.

I have AT&T NJ4 running. Can anyone guide me step-by-step to flash this ROM? I really like to try this ROM and get rid off AT&T craps on my phone, thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] HORiZUN:
Ichiban, are you rooted? Do you have a custom recovery? SafeStrap is your only option on At&t if you don't have an MDL phone from the S4 launch in May 2013.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ichiban:
I'm not rooted, and don't have custom recovery either. How to get Safetrap on the phone. I'm totally noob here. any suggestion?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] HORiZUN:
I sold my AT&T S4 long ago, so things may have changed. Root, I used SafeRoot I believe, or towelroot. Can't remember. It may not be possible on your version of Android. I was on 4.2.2. Way back when lol.

Basically, you need to root your phone. Then install SafeStrap. Then load up a rom into the slot I'm recovery. Like I said, I don't know what version of Android you have, or what the current root method for that phone is, if there even is one. I got rid of that bootloader locked POS and got a SGH-M919. Twrp, sim unlocked, rooted, lollipop. You might have a hard time, just go find the guides and read the stickies. Everything you need to know is in this forum. Good luck.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-att

Check general, Q&A, and development sections for the info you're looking for. Read stickies. Read all the way through guides before you start. Make sure you know how to fix something if it goes wrong. Read up on download mode and odin. They can help you recover from almost any soft brick as long as you can still get into download mode. Make sure you get the firmware for YOUR device. You'll be able to figure it out. We all started where you are. Good luck and have fun learning!

This Rom IS NOT safe strap compatible. This was said within the last 3 pages of the thread.

I linked to the SafeStrap port of the GPE rom..

Just running through the setup from clean installing the 03-15-2015 version. Cool to see the Viper4 dsp included as an option as I've been wanting to try it out.

TWRP 2.8.4.0 and auto-loki still working just fine on the i337.

Can anyone shed some light/advice on the hardware swap partition size recommendation ? I did't see any of the options (from 0 to 512MB) marked as recommended.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bleedos:
In previous versions 256 was marked as recommended. I don't know why this recommendation has been removed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] eQuanoX:
I've noticed this as well, any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] spd_rcr:
It defaulted to 0MB/remove this time. I haven't seen any notable difference in performance so far, although the battery % is dropping and rebounding at seemingly unrealistic rates. I'll give it the usual day to settle.

The material dark theme is really well done with oem-like consistency throughout the rom. All the goodies I'd normally go to 3rd part apps for are already baked in, like all the battery, status-bar, and reboot options under the interfaces menu in settings. Frankly, much of it is so stealth, the rom could probably use a good video tutorial/review to point out all the awesomeness. I thought I'd give some of the other roms a spin the last couple weeks and this is the only option that combines a ton of bleeding edge features into a seemingly stable, coherent, and streamlined package. :good:

The only change that's been a bit disappointing has been the change to AOSP email. It requires gmail accounts to be manually added instead of pulling their settings from the google accounts. It made sense when gmail didn't support other imap and pop3 email accounts, but I don't see any real advantage anymore. I do wish Google would add accounts (like linkedin, facebook, emails, and all the other apps) to the things they backup and restore.

A big thank-you to Dan, Kryten2k35, and whomever else is continuing to work on this awesomeness for the old GS4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] duckredbeard:
Well that was scary, but I was able to recover.

I just got a new tablet and it is running CM12. Thought I would like to try it on the S4. Did the responsible thing and did a full CWM backup after doing a full TiBu backup. I installed the CM12 ROM in the usual order of factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik (necessary?) and then flashed ROM/GApps. I tested it for a few minutes and wasn't completely satisfied. Some of those issues could have been resolved with a little tinkering, but today wasn't the day to do all that. I decided to revert back to my 0303 GPE build.

That is where things got scary. My backup that was made a few hours before kept bootlooping, even after doing all the same wipes. Tried it like 4 times. Since I had made a TiBu, I figured I could just reflash the ROM fresh. The 0303 build reflash kept aborting. Three times. Tried another older backup that was made from the build prior to 0303. Bootlooping there too. Tried an even older build of the GPE, another bootloop!

Guessing it is time to get a fresh copy of the ROM, I attempted to download 0303 and 0315 builds using my tablet. Several attempts using several downloaders (Chrome, EStrongs, Stock Browser) all failed. Some would give an immediate failure, some would just hang.

Being at work, I certainly needed this resolved. What finally bailed me out was TeamViewer on my tablet and home PC. I was able to log into my desktop, navigate to the download page and get the 0303 build. Then I used TeamViewer's file transfer function to copy the file to my tablet. Then using my OTG cable, I copied the ROM to my work USB drive. The OTG showed up in the S4's CWM recovery and I was able to flash the ROM. Boy was I happy to see that Aroma installer! After installation, I did a wholesale restore using TiBu and got everything back to where it was just a few hours before.

Any insight on why the restoration of the backup failed? Was it my sequence of wiping? Did I wipe what shouldn't have been wiped? Why was my first copy of the GPE ROM aborting? Is all this because I tried CM12 (which installed just fine)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Kneidel:
Is there the option to record calls in this ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Droidmissionary:
I'm not sure if this is what's affecting you guys or not but, occasionally, when we have ext sd cards and we have to make changes in the build prop to allow saving to the sd card by adding media_rw. Sometimes I've noticed duplicate copies of my sd files, thus, my music player would see both and add both. Most music apps have a place to select which files to scan for music, if you keep it all in one file, deselect where it searches the entire directory and just select your music folder only
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] studystand:
Just curious if there's any plans to upgrade this ROM to the official 5.0.1 that was recently released for the i9505
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kswa1987:
The March 15, 2015, build is already on Android 5.0.1. Do you mean 5.1? To my knowledge, 5.1 hasn't been released to the GPE S4, so there's nothing for our devs to port. Also, it's considered impolite to ask for ETA's.

I don't see any issues with your process. You may have just had some bad luck. I think the aroma installer does it for you, but I always wipe /system when doing a clean flash just to be safe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] HORiZUN:
It's not that scary. You still have download mode. Worst case scenario you'll flash a stock firmware, root, install recovery, download a rom, wipe and flash. You weren't that close to bricking the device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danielhammons1:
Hey guys, I'm running the newest version of this rom have been since it came out and have had pretty much no issues but the other day I was trying to copy a torrent I downloaded from my internal to my external sd card (I forgot to change my save directory) and when copying it immediately said "move failed" (es file Explorer)

Then my whole external sd card said "empty folder"... Rebooting fixes for a while or if I'm listening to music, it's all there but trying to copy, delete, or move anything results in having to do a reboot unmount and remount my sd...

Any suggestions or anyone else had this issue? It's driving me crazy and I have no computer to move all my stuff and try to format or anything I feel like this could be a simple fix but I've never seen this, found like 1 thread with a similar issue but no answers so I need help if anyone has any ideas!

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] HORiZUN:
I have never had a single problem with SD card access using any build of this ROM. Is your card formatted as exfat?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danielhammons1:
At first I was thinking yes but they may be fat32 but it's never given me a problem before. Had it in this phone over a year and have been running this rom since I got this phone. It's a 64gb SanDisk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] HORiZUN:
My 128gb has had no issues since I put it in and I have jumped between 4 or 5 roms. I always use exfat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danielhammons1:
Well I've never had this issue and I've never even had to reformat an SD to use it you know. I know I would most likely have to if I got the 128gb like I plan on sometime soon.

But I guess the only option is to find a computer, backup my stuff, and then format or try to fix with a partition manager or something. Thanks though, if anyone finds out anything information would be nice.

What did you pay for your 128gb?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] HORiZUN:
70 on Amazon. I used mini tool partition manager to format. I know the feeling, I backed up my 64gb card and moved the data over to the 128gb. Took forever it felt like. I was using a USB 2.0 card reader lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] studystand:
According to the XDA thread, the March 15, 2015 build is still "-Latest 5.0 Google Edition system dump patched to 5.0.1 (unofficial)". Also, I didn't mean for it to come off as an ETA, I was just curious if they were going to build on top of the recently released official 5.0.1 image.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danielhammons1:
That's not bad I've seen the SanDisk for 99 I wouldn't buy a different brand just because I'd probably get screwed lol

But yea I know your pain, I found my problem though there's a corrupt mp3 file it won't even let me delete from the computer or off my sd or anything idk what to do. Google didn't even have any answers, I'm assuming since I've backed up I'll have to just format it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] D_Rail:
I've seen a substantial increase in performance after switching from 0 to 256. I've also seen an even bigger increase in performance after applying the previously mentioned fix for the music playback off SD for Googy Max. I'm still a noob but I have some 3D Mark tests here to show you. Not even sure if that means anything but I'm all ears for getting even better performance if someone has any ideas.

AVRCP support?

So for about a year know, I've wondered why my Bluetooth receiver in my car doesn't show my music's metadata. My GF's TouchWiz S4 works just fine.

After a long while I finally found the answer...

https://support.google.com/playedition/answer/6059494?hl=en

According to this, most GPE phones do NOT support AVRCP in Bluetooth. I just got a reply from Kenwood tech support for my KDC-X998 stating that they obtain their metadata from AVRCP. My bluetooth metadata shows up on other receivers just fine, which confuses me, maybe it uses an old AVRCP spec?.

Anyways TL : DR

GPE ROMs supposedly do not support AVRCP by default, is this something that could be patched in?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cantenna:
Did you buy a GPE Phone or TouchWiz, I assume gpe. Where does it say this feature affects meta data?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Kneidel:
I have switched from a TW ROM to this GPE one. Will the same bootloaders and modems work for this ROM? Is there a link to the latest of these that are compatible with this ROM?

Why can't I install this with Safestrap? It installs to the rom but on reboot it goes to the stock ROM with mobile network disabled and supper slow.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] morphius2036:
Didn't see it just says TWRP preferred. I am lost why some SGH-I337 can have CWM or TWRP but I can't get it to install?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danielhammons1:
You had to have this phone before a certain update. I got mine and froze the update whenever the Android version on here was 4.2.2 so it wouldn't be stupid. I read up before I bought my phone so it wouldn't be aggravating
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bleedos:
I don't have Safestrap but I've read about it when i first looked to install a custom rom and i remember that with it you are stuck with TW roms or roms that are clearly identified as "Safestrap compatible".

As I wrote just before, a ROM must be identified as Safestrap compatible or must be TW based. GPE is not TW. When not identified "Safestrap compatible", assume it's not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] morphius2036:
Yeah figuring that out...I have an affinity to attract bum phones I am limited on what I can do.

Just started new job and this is my first Samsung phone usually have motos and on Verizon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ChrisG683:
I'm on a TW phone and I am now running this GPE ROM.

If you look up the AVRCP specs, it states something along the lines of

AVRCP 1.3 = Metadata

AVRCP 1.5 = Advanced browsing controls

I'm surprised that the ROM does show metadata on other car receivers, just not mine...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Droidmissionary:
Because that's pretty much the main problem on xda. Lack of reading and research, that leads to repetitive questions in which the answers are found by using Google, and/or 5 minutes in the general/qa section of this device. As well as, searching this very thread in which I too have answered the same question not very many pages back while also informing of that very same Rom. While what he did was helpful, high five to him, I personally try not to post stuff that really isn't related to this Rom nor post links to other developers roms. I see it kind of disrespectful to the op. Honestly after he sees the same question for the 100th time (exaggerating, slightly) within the next ten pages of his answer.

Hey man I found out what was wrong and it's nothing like what I thought and I've never heard of this and cannot find any sort of solution (that works)

Okay I cannot format, delete, or edit anything on my sd in any way, even on a computer it won't format at all even with formatting tools.

Apparently whenever I tried moving a folder with mp3s from internal to external the other day the cd I was moving somehow got corrupted during the transfer, it then failed and my sd card disappeared, so to say.

That was when the problem started but apparently I will just have to get a new one. I've never heard of this before... But thanks for the replies man

Not doing the right searches I guess cause I can't find the answer - when doing the OTA update (I'm going from 02-10 to 03-15) what should I wipe in TWRP before flashing? Do I need to do a full wipe or just dalvik and cache (dirty flash). Haven't used the OTA updater yet since installing this ROM.
