Domination theme

Has anyone managed to flash Vertumus' domination theme on top of a ROM with safestrap? GoldenEye says that it is compatible, but when I flash it on top of GE, it just stays forever at the loading screen...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Mosch26:
I flashed it and managed to boot it, but kept getting constant SystemUI FC's
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] D4V3Y:
Anyone try foxhound v4.5 KitKat rom if so any success?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Mosch26:
I just got PurifieD ROM v3 to boot! :D Didn't select any mods in aroma (no 3 way power menu, no theme, no kernel, etc.)

I am going to try and flash the Domination theme on top of this and see if it bootloops me. Will report back

EDIT: Flashing Domination theme after a clean install of PurifieD did NOT bootloop me. I am currently running PurifieD with domination theme installed over it without any issues!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Dhs92:
Is PurifieD better than GoldenEye? Might give it a shot if it works with PurifieD
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Mosch26:
GoldenEye is MUCH smoother at times, especially when in the stock launcher. However, I prefer PurifieD because of the Domination theme and when you're using the Google Now launcher, the smoothness difference isn't that noticeable. Those are just my opinions, best option I can give you is to try both and decide from there!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Dhs92:
Kind of excited now, I LOVE the Domination theme, which version did you flash?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Mosch26:
1.9.1 i9505 NB, the 1.9.1.2 is for the i9500 I think. And yeah, I'm with you on loving the Domination theme!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Dhs92:
Couldn't find a holo-theme that was like the one on BlackBox, but BB doesn't work on the I337 too well, so now I'm happy :D

[MENTION=608135]Quu[/MENTION]t13 - Can you Post a link to SuperSU => http://download.chainfire.eu/381/Sup...erSU-v1.91.zip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
I could, but in the 4.4.2 ROM overview section, I have a link to [MENTION=2284570]ted77usa[/MENTION]'s thread were he has version 1.93 posted.

That is the same version I used. Only difference was... I installed it AFTER I already had the GE installed and booted up.

EDIT - Cleaned up post 3 a little....

and edited note with ROMs...

Note: Flash SuperSU immediately after flashing the ROM. (see Notes above) (Thanks [MENTION=898720]cnewsgrp[/MENTION])​

I'm not familiar with the 2 versions. Do you see advantage of 1.91 over 1.93?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cnewsgrp:
Sorry did not notice ted's link - I am sure he knows better than me :) I am good.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Dhs92:
Hey, tested PurifieD, it works.

1.) Downgrade to MK2

2.) Boot SS

3.) Flash ROM, do not select to install the kernel, you can flash the mods

4.) Theme works

5.) Flash NB1 Modules

6.) FLASH SUPERSU

7.) Flash MDL files in Odin

8.) Profit

maybe not many people are still on MK2 using MK2 specific roms but i am. Lately I have been running Eclipse v3.0 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2351840from the verizon threads and have installed it on Rom Slot 1 and am currently using it on my STOCK SLOT without issues. In the aroma installer, it has the option to install no kernel, (safestrap) option and then after installation is complete. do not reboot and just flash the MK2modules zip and of course, enter the AT&T APN settings and everything should be working. Again, im still on MK2 and am happy as of right now.

PS... forgot to mention that a workaround needs to be done in order for paid apps to install. Modaco's paid app encryption module is what needs to be used which is fairly simple to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] andrewdroid:
Quick question, I installed Muniz's stock NB1 rooted rom and followed his directions. Everything worked great. One thing I'm unclear about is why are the downgrade instructions different for that rom, vs everything else.

Is it ok to follow his directions instead to downgrade?

Below, from Muniz's post.

----------

These are the steps I followed to successfully flash this ROM (flash at your own risk):

1. Place the ROM zip in ext sdcard.

2. Downgrade from NB1 to a semi-working(no-wifi) MK2 by only flashing the MK2 AP and CSC tar files from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2621279

3. Use your favorite root method to root MK2 then install SS (see SS thread for how to install and use SS).

4. Once SS is installed boot into SS, perform an advanced wipe and wipe everything except ext sd card.

5. Flash the ROM zip in Stock Slot.

6. Hit "Home," then reboot from SS into Download Mode and flash the NB1 Stock Kernel https://mega.co.nz/#!p10mCbZS!-C2I4K...VUrT1c1UYw7ZLQ using PDA slot in Odin.The phone should then automatically reboot into the ROM.

If you want to flash another 4.4 Custom Rom after flashing this ROM, first flash the MK2 Stock Kernel in the PDA Slot in Odin before wiping this ROM in SS and flashing the new ROM: https://mega.co.nz/#!lwVUSAiY!Qx2T5S...6ULxoVki6AmSjQ

To return your phone back to 100% Stock, Un-Rooted NB1 flash the NB1 Full Odin tar from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2674223

***EDIT**: If you never upgraded to NB1 from MK2 then, besides following steps 3 - 6, you also need to flash the NB1 Modem in PDA slot in Odin in order for wifi to work: https://mega.co.nz/#!sstkFRiJ!d9zTRt...zDlqJKy2OlP_7o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Mosch26:
[MENTION=5496204]Dhs92[/MENTION] did you flash the theme in aroma installer or after? When I installed it I flashed it after and that worked for me. I just want to make sure both ways work for a future reference and for other people to know.

And did you ever figure out why it removed safestrap for you? :P It didn't do that when I flashed it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Dhs92:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RN_ReFlux:
Looks like you already deleted your question.

I flashed deadly Venom 3 directly from stock rooted mk3, and my Knox is still virginal with the 0x0.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] LarryW3:
Lol

Same here. I soft bricked it once right of the bat too and had to Odin to factory mk2. Running dv3 kit kat now. I'm still good!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sirobelec:
Just tried BlackBox 3.0, before that the Chaos Rom 2.3.0, couldn't turn wi-fi with both. Only Deadly Venom 3.0.0 did it.

Are we (users) missing something?

I mean, when still with the MK2, after flashing the ROM in SS, we flashed kernel modules for the MK2.

Do we have to flash modules for the NB1 and if so, have I missed the download links somewhere in the thread?

Sorry if the question has been asked before...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] muniz_ri:
It seems as if there are at least two different approaches being used to get wifi working in your situation (someone that never updated to NB1 from MK2).

My preferred approach is after flashing the ROM flash the NB1 kernel https://mega.co.nz/#!p10mCbZS!-C2I4KruevUtyiURZ1FHkM2LOtWFRVUrT1c1UYw7ZLQ in PDA slot in Odin then go back into download mode and flash the NB1 modem also in PDA slot in Odin: https://mega.co.nz/#!sstkFRiJ!d9zTRte0KcVFv7o-bjKFuFMM1Q9ivzDlqJKy2OlP_7o

It's possible the dev may not have built the modules into the ROM in which case you may need to deviate from the above process. Check the ROM's dedicated thread, if any, for specifics.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Thank you for confirming. Will update the OP with it.

Thanks for the new find. Will add this one as well.

Also just confirmed bindroid works fine. need to flash supersu with it...

- Install ROM, then Addon pack (optional, but has a nice look), then superSU, then MLD Modules, then boot into odin...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DeadlySin9:
You need the modules, there should be a zip of them packed up with all the other files for flashing 4.4.2. Deadly Venom has the modules prepackaged so you don't need it separate, otherwise you do for different ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sirobelec:
...frakk me sideways.

Found the download links to the NB1 modules... by Googling "nb1 modules download". xD

This being an index for all things, may I ask to include a download link for the NB1 modules because of brainless lowlifes who happened to have an i337 (like myself) and they wouldn't know that without flashing said modules the wi-fi won't run? xD

Also, to avoid further "me wifista no worksta".

Here's the link I found, anyway, will now try flashing one last goddamn time a ROM but with this special spice to add some wi-fi flavor to it...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Dhs92:
The developer of Blackbox said that he will not help i337 users, and BB doesn't work with our phones. If you want the holo theme from BB just flash PurifieD, only way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sirobelec:
The ROM itself _works_, and I got an i337.

I could start the ROM successfully, just the frakking wi-fi decided not to show up, because like in the good ol' days of MK2, after flashing a ROM, we had to flash some good ol' kernel modules to make that s**t run.

Just found myself some NB1 modules, will try flashing the ROM again, hopefully the modules will make a difference...

Strange. All my messaging and email worked without issue. I ran it till yesterday when i downloaded Shostock to test. I kinda hated leaving it because I like as close to aosp as I can get. But, I really love the samsung camera app, and it has to have tw to work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] NighthawkXL:
I installed if for a handful of hours to test, I had only the issue with the Torch which was easily fixed with a different app. It was late and I needed my DD for the morning so I reverted back to Hyperdrive 4.3 but later this week I plan on digging into BB a little bit more. Absolutely love the Google Edition-eqsue look and feel it has. I suppose I could flash that theme to any TouchWiz ROM though....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
Too true, any theme could be flashed. But the saving of space from not having tw at all is great. The way these are partitioned, I wish I would have gotten the 32Gb.

[MENTION=2982241]guut13[/MENTION] You can also add Shostock-i v5.0 to the list of confirmed working.

normally dont public test

i could use some help testing these as I'm vzw not at&T if you would try and let me know how it goes and what if anything is wrong. these are test wip zip installations for all in one 4.4 mods and upgrades similar to the magic only without odin and flash over the "stock" slot of SS. shouldnt hurt your phone no promises but never bricked 1 in my life... good luck:

MK2 to NB1up (if upgraded then downgraded back to MK2)

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407579833

NB1 mini-downgrade to MK2 for SS Installations:

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407579834

then theres the MLD based upgrade and downgrade for those that havent upgraded to NB1 at all..

MK2 to MLD Up:

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407579832

MLD to MK2 down:

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407579831

respectively the packs also contain necessary SS modules and install them automatically. along with optimized libs for dalvik, wifi, CSCs, Vendor files and other apn files so assumably you wont have to install your APNs if the pack works. hoping i didnt try and cram too much in them and they work but I havent a clue yet. if asking why i did this its for future 4.42 verizon SS upgrades all the scripting will be the same just waiting on the official or even a leak for VZW so if this works you should go grab me a copy of vzw's firmware and well b even. lol

its supposed to work just like magic but no odin.

lookin good in here guut!

Echoe v17 Rom - Great, but no root

Running Echoe v17 Rom on ATT i337- Prerooted rom, but the root is not active. SuperSu icon is there, but it says no SU binary is installed and instructs me to manually re-root the phone. My question is if I can root this pre-rooted rom that is only running in Safestrap?

Really enjoying the Echoe Rom, but missing the root access to get all the bells and whistles active. Any advice?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] tuffluck:
I was on MK2 and went to MLD GE24 following all of the steps outlined here. Was running great for several days, and then I tried to install the volume increase add on for GE via Safestrap. It said it flashed, then immediately when I tried to reboot it said no OS found. Does anyone know what is going on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Yes. you can flash 4.4.2 ROMs when you have an mk2 base. See the installation instructions that you quoted for installation steps.

As for 4.3 ROMs, look in post #2. those are all stock jelly bean based. Some with more themes than others. Best bet is to check out the OPs and flash the ones that look good to you.

Thanks. I'll update the rom to include... Note: Flash SuperSU with ROM

Since you already have it installed you can flash it in safestrap and you should be all set.

Just to make sure we are on the same page, you...

reboot to download mode and odin the MK2 ap file only.

Reboot to ss and install the audio fix

then Reboot to download and Odin MLD files,

right?

Can't install Lucky Patcher on SHOstock rom?

Hey so i'm confused right now. I've been trying to install Lucky Patcher but I keep getting the app not installed notification.

I just installed the SHOstock rom. I followed all the steps to make sure I insttalled the rom right. Everything else seems to be working fine every other apk I install is perfect.

But for some reason the Lucky Patcher apk will not install. Anything you all can suggest for me to resolve this issue??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] andyandmarlys:
Thanks for the tip, but that didn't fix it.

I rebooted into Safestrap, installed the 1.93 update file, it warned me there was no OS installed, but I rebooted anyway back into EchoeRom. As it booted it said that Android was updating, but when I went to the SuperSu icon it gave the same message as before and said there is no SU Binary installed and to manually install it.

I installed Echoe Rom about 3 days ago and have installed other apps and such, so is it possible I missed my opportunity?

Thanks for the advice, but I am probably missing something very basic here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Did you odin the mk2 AP tar before you flashed the supersu zip?

i'm referring to note 5... Once your ROM has been installed and booted, in order to flash a zip from safestrap again... reboot to download mode and odin the MK2 ap file only. Reboot to ss and install the zip. Reboot to download. Odin MLD files and reboot. (thanks [MENTION=833788]rebel1699[/MENTION])

You left that out of the steps you took, just double checking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] andyandmarlys:
I just rebooted phone, entered safestrap and installed.

I'm gonna have to take the plunge and upgrade to 4.4.2...Now that SHOstock is confirmed to work again with SS. Now if we can get Graviton past 4.2.2 for SS, I'll have most of my favorites up to date. Overall I've been a little nervous upgrading because I've seen a couple of peeps mess up some things. It sounds like a complicated process but all new things always do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Confirmed.

This is the full note from [MENTION=833788]rebel1699[/MENTION] thread that explains it better. Which is probably the "see exactly where it says what I am to do" that you were talking about....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
why upgrade? if you stay on mk2, you double your chances of having an unlocked bootloader and you can still flash all the same roms that nb1 users can.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] t4duzan:
That's exactly what I plan on doing...I just need to read the process another 20 times so I am comfortable with it. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
ahh. you must be on mf3. Yeah, I'd imagine 4.2.2 ROMs are getting kinda stale by now, huh?

Nevermind. you said upgrade to 4.4.2. but you didn't mean ota... you just meant magic tool. I'm tired. so i'm a little slow. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] t4duzan:
No, I'm on 4.3 but this 4.4.2 process is a little bit different so I've just been sitting back and reading for the last couple of weeks while the pros work out the kinks. Which, by the way...thanks to all that contribute to our advancement of the ATT S4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] andrewdroid:
Yeah it's a different process because they haven't been able to actually directly root 4.4.2 yet. Once that comes, along with a compatible safestrap, things should be more straightforward and with much less Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
Thats exactly correct. I made it as a bridge to gap the time till a root method is released, and an updated ss is released. It is also a hope that getting a method to load rooted roms on the i337 would allow hashcode more easier create or test an updated ss. Either way, I dont see an updated root or ss until a bit after official 4.4.2 for vzw is released.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gigilie:
aren't you technically

on the MLD bootloader if you use odin to flash the bl bootloader?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] DeadlySin9:
Yes, but the MLD bootloader doesn't prevent downgrading to the MK2 bootloader. Though for the people who did take the update (NB1), the downgrade still allows the kernel root exploit and bypasslkm even with the new bootloader so if kexec does come around we should be okay.
