Hey Steve ! The biggest benefit to the mf9 bootloader is that it does not have the knox counter, which permanently counts every single time you flash a new rom and void your warranty. Another benefit is that you will be able to downgrade if you choose so. The good thing about this rom is that it does not include the Knox bootloader. If you flash this rom it will not change your bootloader and you will still have the mf9 bootloader. I hope this is helpful and you find this rom beneficial :)

Flash the mk2 modem :D

These roms are no good none of the wifi fixes work ..and I can't even use the Samsung features like allshare which I use every day to watch shows with my kids ...can u fix that old
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] steveoski111:
Well that is just dandy! I will be flashing this ROM here either tonight or tomorrow, thanks a million for the response!

At the end of the original post it says to flash the MK2 modem for the WiFi to work, also in the thread someone had posted there steps on how exactly to do it. Give it a goski
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] repinphilly247:
I agree, this update has been pretty smooth (as long as you have the MK2 modem). Battery life has been great as well. I am also still on the MF9 bootloader.

In addition, I can finally connect to 802.1x EAP wireless networks that I couldn't on MJA with KT's kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] blarg:
only oddball thing I've noticed so far (and these are VERY VERY minor things) -

1) this only happened once, but after waking up the phone from sitting on a desk for a couple of hours, Beautiful Widgets time would not update until I opened the widget and clicked "update" to force a manual update. The system clock in the notification bar had the correct time so I'm pretty sure it's some kind of BW issue.

2) this happened with both MJA and MK2 - AdAway will not update in the background. Updates always fail unless I open the app and check for updates while AdAway is in the foreground. I'm sure this is an AdAway/JB issue (I would guess something in how SU requests are handled) and AdAway or SuperSU will need to be updated.

Is it difficult to add more languages to languages list of this ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Raistlin1:
I just picked up a slightly used S4 that is on MDL, do I need to (or should I) move to the MF9 bootloader and then flash this rom or can I keep my bootloader on MDL and then flash this rom?

Been reading up and seeing a lot of info on staying on MF9 bootloader but I don't have that one. I still have to flash a custom recovery and then root this phone and then I wanted to find a stock 4.3 rom with no knox but I don't know if MDL bootloader will be fine or if I need MF9 for some reason.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] blarg:
In theory it should work. MF9 is the last bootloader version without knox and can be downgraded/replaced without setting off any flags. Since most of us had our phones for a while we had already updated to MF9 since there was no reason not to so that's what we happen to be on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Raistlin1:
Thanks, I was thinking about flashing the MF9 rooted one click posted by rwilco which would put me on everything MF9 and also be rooted. I was then going to use mobile odin (can I use mobile odin on S4?) to flash the custom recovery instead of odin because it does not increase the flash count. If not then I was going to flash custom recovery via odin and then I can flash this ROM and flash the MK2 modem.

Or I may just say screw it and do the OTA to MK2 and then pray I can root and keep root, flash custom recovery and then somehow get tethering to work. From my reading it seems that philz recovery is the one to use on the S4, is this correct?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] blarg:
flash counters are reset when you odin a stock ROM. the count can also be reset with triangle away. Mobile Odin does work but I've seen reports of problems flashing modems with it.

I would flash the full stock MF9, then flash Philz recovery and then flash SuperSU. From there flash the MK2 rom via Philz and MK2 modem via Odin 3.07. I beleive there's also a package on xda somewhere that installs Philz and SuperSU in one .zip

MK2 OTA can be rooted but it will trip the Knox flag which cannot be reset (at least not yet). After MF9 all bootloaders have the Knox flag.

I had the same problem with the file I downloaded this afternoon from Mirror #4. I'm trying Mirror # 10 right now.

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

I should have added that I'm running stock MF9, rooted and running Agat's 5.1 kernel. I have a 64GB exFat SD card in the phone that I'm trying to copy to. I have tried copying many other files of different sizes and types to the SD and all copied over without error. I don't remember the exact wording of the error message that pops up, but ..." device not available'.. was part of it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] yudancha:
Durr %&*^# Reading is one thing, comprehending what one reads is something else. Answer was to mount the usb storage in custom recovery and copy the zip file over.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Raistlin1:
Flashed this Rom and it seemed to go fine, flashed MK2 modem and that flashed as well. I then flashed the MK2 hotspot mod using philz recovery and it said it flashed but I cannot find anywhere in this Rom to turn it on? Am I missing something or a step?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] danasmith2816:
I think it uses the native hotspot. go to : settings , connections, hotspot and turn on there
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] blarg:
I don't use it myself but I'm also pretty sure that mod just enables the native wifi hotspot to work without checking eligibility.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Raistlin1:
Thats the thing, under settings-connection there is no option for hotspot.

I flashed the odexed version of this ROM and I flashed the odexed version of the MK2 hotspot mod using Philz latest recovery.

Edit: I have not yet activated the phone on Sprint yet, but that should not affect having the hotspot setting in this custom ROM right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] leonleonleon:
Hewllo everyone and have a good year,

I am from Greece and i got the Sprint S4 2 days ago. when i got it the rom was on the MK2 version and i downgrade it to MJA version so i can unlock it to international SIM.

While on MJA version i flashed the MDC modem and unlocked it, now the rom works with greece sim and data (for data i puted the APN settings manualy). after that i made the OTA MK2 update it had again and now my versions are like this (dunno why):

Software Version: L720VPUAMDC

Baseband Version: L720VPUAMDC

Build Number: JSS15J.L720VPUEMJA

So my problem is that the phone has Network Modes like this

1) CDMA

2) LTE/CDMA

3) GSM/UMST

4) Automatic

But the setting i want is LTE/WCDMA/GSM. is in this rom the settings like that? is there any option that i can get those settings in this rom?

Now my settings are in the GSM/UMST and the only networks i het is E and H+, we have those networks but we have the G and 3G too that i cant have them, what is the best solution now for me? i want to be on stock rom. but if not possible any stable rom that has that options.

Thanks a lot again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Raistlin1:
Is anyone else running this rom missing the hot spot setting in the connections menu? Also, if yes or no have you flashed the hot spot mod?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] esqueue:
any assistance for one stuck in a loop boot? I can't remember which version I had but I know that it's the version before the KNOX issues. So, 2 ota updates back. I was rooted and currently installed the latest philz bootloader. I tired wiping everything then install the odexed file on the first page then it started the boot loop.

EDIT: I actually first tried with CWM and couldn't get it to work. After Installing philz and using the wipe to install rom option, it worked.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] anees02:
Yes i face the same problem but i can workaround to get widget for hotspot but no way.

it tells me that i have to enter SIM card to activate hotspot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rawintellect:
as I said in my thread. No sim = no hotspot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] anees02:
Also as i told that i can access internet EVDO without any problem.

The problem is how to share my internet with my laptop.

Previously i had Sprint Galaxy S3 ....and i could use the hotspot and tethering without any problem.

but now with GS4 i couldn't use neither hotspot nor tethering.

I thought that get newer smartphone will get new features but with this case i lose the hotspot.

But i think there is a trick will appear to bypass SIM requirement to activate the hotspot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] yudancha:
feature.xml question

I installed this ROM over the weekend. All went well, didn't have any problems. I have a question regarding the feature.xml tho'. I wanted to edit it to enable the Camera Shutter Sound menu, but the option is no longer in the feature.xml. I had a friend with an S3 on a stock 4.3 phone send me his feature.xml file and there are several more features listed on his .xml file. In my feature.xml there is only one feature listed, in his file there are 7 others. I haven't compared both files to find out if there are other things missing/different. Can I just add the missing features to my .xml file? Or,can someone who has the stock OTA ROM from Sprint attach their feature.xml file.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] OldManJax:
If I am currently on MJA, can I just flash the new modem and then this ROM over my current stock rooted ROM without losing my data? Just clear dalvik and the cache then install?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] byg.nick:
Just wanted to stop by and provide some positive feedback, and much gratitude.

Coming from stock, rooted MF9...... Yesterday I flashed the ODEX version of this rom, then updated to the MK2 firmware found here, and finally adding the native hotspot hack found here.

For some reason TWRP would not open the .ZIP, although I did confirm that the MD5 hash matched after download.... Finally Tried using Philz recovery, and it worked first time with no issue.... Not sure why, maybe someone could school me on this?

This setup is running super smooth and stable so far. Great data speeds, and seemingly more connectivity to 4GLTE. Everything is great so far, thanks for the ROM!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Irule305:
I'm having the same problem as byg.nick. For some reason, the odexed version of the rom doesn't flash even if I'm on Philz recovery but the deodexed version flashes perfectly. Anyone know how I can flash the odexed version to go back to as stock as possible?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] runwithme:
Please make sure you wipe data, system, cache and dalvik cache before trying to install the rom. Members have reported different successes with different recoveries and overall outcomes seem to be best when flashing the rom using PhilZ Recovery. In addition, be sure the odex download is not corrupt because this would inhibit the proper flashing. I just now tried to flash the odex rom using PhilZ Recovery and it is working smoothly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Irule305:
I tried downloading twice and both times the MD5 was the same but as soon as I tried to flash it over philz (and CWM), it just said bad file. I'm happy with deodex right now and I have no major problems with it so I think I'll just stick it to it until there's an update.

Thanks for taking the time to reply back and for uploading these, I appreciate it :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] byg.nick:
For the record, I flashed the ODEX version, but only after switching to Philz. TWRP would not open the file, but Philz flashed without hiccup. Odd...

Also, not sure if this is ROM related..... I organize apps into folders on my homescreen, when open a folder then select an app, the app opens and all is good. IF i hit the Back or even the HOME button to navigate back to the homescreen, the folder is still open. Just a small inconvenience, but wondering how the heck this is happening..... Any suggestions?

(this rom, Hotspot mod, stock kernel, TW launcher, MK2 modem only via Unknownforce)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ndfan77:
Not true here. I downloaded the Odex version from the AFH link and it WILL NOT FLASH in Philz (signature verification on or off). Philz immediately says "BAD".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ali1353:
I downloaded the Odex ROM 3 time and everytime PhilZ says bad, please test the MD5 checksum so we can compare them. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] byg.nick:
Maybe try the other mirror?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ndfan77:
You know what, the size of the file downloaded from Media Fire is a bit bigger (by about 60MB) than the file that was downloaded from AFH.

Sounds like the the Odex version on AFH didn't fully upload.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] byg.nick:
Well, let us know how the flash goes! Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] runwithme:
Good look :highfive: and I apologize for the mistake. I am uploading the rom to AFH right now and I will update the original post when the upload is complete.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MilanoRex:
Has anyone been able to encrypt their phone with this rom? It just reboots and does nothing for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] byg.nick:
Awesome, thanks!!

[MENTION=5599237]runwithme[/MENTION] any idea on why this might be happening?

Anyone else seeing this issue? or is this just me? any help/direction here is much appreciated! :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] runwithme:
Tbh I'm not sure whether it is or isn't suppose to do this. Do you know if TouchWiz closes folders by default when an app is launched?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] byg.nick:
When I was on MF9 it was closing the folders, that's why I noticed the difference with MK2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ali1353:
Thanks for uploading it again.

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

I am on a different 4.3 TW ROM_MK2 and it closes the folder, it might be a ROM issue, try to clean your Cash and Dalvik cash in recovery and let us know.

:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] byg.nick:
still no go...:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] runwithme:
I don't know the reason it's acting differently.

Does anyone know if folder close behavior is configurable in the features.xml?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ali1353:
Can you do a dirty flash ? Flash the ROM again without erasing everything (no wiping your data).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] purdone:
Can you flash this if you are already on MK2 (from the store out of the box)?

I'm looking for a way to hotspot, and have already rooted. Worried about the stupid Knox.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] runwithme:
Yes and you'll first need to flash a recovery with either Odin or Heimdall. Also you need to download and flash the hot spot mod separately. Unfortunately the hot spot mod is not included with this rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DroidModder:
is there a tar file for this rom? I need a tar to go back to stock...i mistakenly rooted with Knox...and installed a custom rom and now its all screwed up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
So you've tripped Knox? Search there is a tar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Xechorizo:
Many have said the first boot takes awhile. How long is this while? :confused: I'm at the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen for about an hour now.

Already on MK2, previously on PAC-ROM 4.3.1 installed from CWM via Odin 3.0.7.

Thanks guys.

EDIT: Got it. Turns out my Clockwork recovery wasn't formatting the right directories for a fresh ROM (apparently PhilZ does this). Had to get an EXACT version (6.08.9) to flash sock(ish)v05, but that worked and I imagine with that extra flash feature that this ROM would too (?). Haven't verified. Good luck and happy flashing!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Raistlin1:
I have this ROM setup on my wife's S4 and she has the issue with the folders staying open. Other than that this ROM seems to be working great for her, please keep us posted on this and if it is something that is able to be fixed.

wifi on secure corporate network fails to login

Before rooting my SPH-L720 running the stock MK2 firmware (L720VPUEMK2_L720SPTEMK2_SPR) had no issues logging into our corporate wifi. It uses:

WPA2 for Network Authentication

AES for Data encryption

PEAP for authentication

GeoTrust Global CA for certification

After rooting with the deodexed [STOCK ROM] Stock 4.3 MK2 w/root, the wifi no longer can connect to the same network.

As soon as it shows getting an IP it disconnects and attempts to reconnect. This continues to loop until I abort the connection attempt.

Is there a fix to restore the original wifi settings from L720VPUEMK2_L720SPTEMK2_SPR that worked in the original stock ROM that could be placed into the deodexed MK2 rom? Otherwise its a great root for the L720 (apart from not being able to make changes to the status bar).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] P1_e85:
it says you can just flash unknowforce modem only tar without losing data. but in rom install it says to wipe data? can i flash rom without wiping data? currently on stock mja rooted w ktoonsez kernal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
It is almost never recommend to not wipe data when flashing any Rom. You could install without wiping data but any problems you run into will not be able to be reported because you didnt follow the developers instructions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] P1_e85:
Ahh, sounds good. It should work and boot but there may be bugs.is what your saying. thats just how i've always update my phone so far from mdc on, i did a no data wipe flash.. never really had any problems i coudnt fix. just lately it seems more people are saying to do data wipes, i'll probably just have to suck it up and wipe data. i'd rather not have any problems with android system. i could use a fresh start anyways, my internal sd card is basically full with crap.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
Yeah it normally would boot. But since Knox became active with MK2 it just seems like you need to wipe data in order to get some roms to boot. It's true that sometimes it's a good idea to wipe the phone completely. Also when devs say to wipe data they don't mean the entire internal memory. Just factory reset.

Hi Everyone,

Here is a Conversion of the famous Clapping GIF of Joker(Heath Ledger in Batman) to a Boot Animation.

Boot Animation: Joker Clapping

​

How to Install?

In my LG Optimus L9, the file for Boot Animation is /system/media/bootanimation.zip.

So, you have to Overwrite this file with the bootanimation.zip attached in this post.

OR, for other Phones, you may Search the appropriate Forums for your Phone, regarding installation of Boot Animation.

To overwrite, use a Root Explorer App or use ADB to push it into your phone.

Best Regards,

Thakur
