I'm running project chaos on stock slot and really loving it. I just can't find a thread about getting aosp lockscreen via modifying build prop or an easier way...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
They're all awesome. Good luck narrowing it down.

I'll add this to the OP next time. Thanks.

Thanks. I was just about to test that one myself in the stock slot. I've also confirmed the Blackbox, Purified, and Pheonix ROM all work in Slot stock as well. Looks like all the i9505 ROMs that work in the ROM slot are also working in the stock slot. (I'll verify and update the OP later)

As far as your lock screen question... I haven't tested it myself, so no clue if it will even work, but check out the Purified ROM. Post #3 has the ASOP lockscreen mod for his ROM. Since Chaos is also based off mkf, maybe the mkf mod listed will work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Quick update to OP... more confirmations for stock slots.

Just a heads up, I tried dbomb ROM on stock slot and it boot looped. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2619991 Only fix was to odin back. At least we know the new files work. :D Thanks again [MENTION=2284570]ted77usa[/MENTION].
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Galaxy*$4:
might have missed this but has anybody gotten carhd rom to work on rom slot 1-4? the op has it listed as working, every time i try it, it boot loops is there a kernel that i have to choose it doesnt give me an option for stock. i really want this rom to work EDIT.... do i have to do advanced wipe? if so which one do i need to choose (i havent done a advanced wipe only factory wipe)

also have issues with other roms boot looping, i think bob cat rom does it.

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

i have tried that also on rom slot 1 and boot loops every time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Have you tried deleting the rom slot and then recreating it prior to installing the ROM? That is how I tested every rom on the ROM slot. Then you don't have to worry about wiping?

Also, I don't think kernel is an issue. at least not for any of the i9505 roms. I saw during the installs that some try installing a different kernel, but it didn't affect anything. Phone still would boot up fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Galaxy*$4:
i recreate the rom slot before i flash and choose to do a factory wipe if i am in aroma., i am giving it another go around (i am using the stock sizes, before i had the data portion at 2700mb) i am not sure what else to try if this dont work.

and great thread btw:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Thank you.

I'm remaining cautiously optimistic that the partition size is your issue, but just to make sure... You are on MK2 now, right? Your signature shows MF3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ddubz:
are you still using stock att rom in stock slot. i was running echoe v12 in stock slot when i got bobcat and carhd to work in slot 1. i always created a new slot and i changed my data to 1000 mb so i dont see that being the problem. maybe it has something to do with whats in your stock slot. I doubt it.

On another note

I was reading verizon safestrap thread and saw that a dev was trying to get cyanogenmod to work with safestrap 4.2. I dont know if he ever did. He said that he just needed to get cm to work with our kernel. I sure do wish someone could do it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Yeah... Your right. I think i'm thinking back to MF3 days and the system partition. FWIW - i had shostock in my Stock slot when testing the ROM slot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Galaxy*$4:
yes i am on mk2, sorry about that i havent updated my sig in awhile. i did recreate the rom slot and it worked just fine. strange i have recrated the rom slot several times and it boot looped.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
If you are still having issue. I'd recommend ODIN back to MK2 stock. (or NB1 stock if you already took the NB1 update)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Negative. Only Touchwiz based ROMs that are compatible with out stock kernel.

If you still have MF3 base you can flash 4.2.2 ROMs, but then you wouldn't be able to flash 4.3 and 4.4.2 ROMs.

Correct. Once you have replaced the updater-script you can try the install again, but if it fails, ODIN back to MK2 stock and then try again.

If you are on mk2 base it means I your bootloader is locked. Until a work around is found or the bootloader is unlocked, you will not be able to flash a kernel.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
First. Your debloater tool rocks. Good job on it.

I can't speak for anybody else, but I prefer the method with the fewest steps... less chance for user error. You can't much simpler than flashing a zip and choosing what you want to remove via the aroma installer. Then again, I may be a little biased because I work off a <cough>mac<cough>.

The windows method would probably be a better tool for the flashaholic who likes to keep every ROM on his phone. Your tool would dramatically reduce the ROM file size.

Does the windows tool work on ROMs that use the Aroma installer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] arunkm94:
What about the battery back of sam deluxe rim?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SkywalkerZ:
i can understand your issue :P and true, the one with fewer steps is the one most use

And your second point about rom size is also very true

About whether it works on roms with aroma? the good thing is that once u extract the rom the boot.img(kernel) and meta-inf folder(one with aroma and updater scrip) are untouched. Only system/* gets touched and once debloat is over all the three folders(well 2 folders and one img in stock rom..can be more on cooked rom)get zipped so it doesnt touch aroma so it should work :)

already made this tool for s5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Thanks. The fact that it will work on both types of ROMS (aroma and not aroma), keeps it easy. Less for Users to worry about.

Battery back up??? :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
Sorry, I'm confused on what you are trying to do. You mentioned NB1 odin and mk2 odin so I'm not sure which base you are on.

If you never took the NB1 OTA update and you want to start at stock...

1. Odin MK2 files to return to 4.3 stock.

2. Root and install safestrap 3.72

3. Reboot into recovery, wipe everything but sdcard.

4. Install 4.4.2 ROM, mdl modules, and supersu (if needed)

5. Reboot into download mode and flash the 3 magic tool mdl files

Once ROM is booted you are all set. You can reboot into recovery and flash as many mods or new ROMs without ever having to go back into odin.

Only time you would have to use odin again, is if you want to return to 4.3 ROMs (or stock).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] thepktrckt:
Ok everyone, I am doing something wrong. I am continually stuck at the boot screen regardless of process or ROM.

I was on MK2 and never took the NB1 update. I did follow the old process of bring to stock, root, SS 3.71, flash ROM, update with MLD files and I was off on the GoldenEye ROM. I wanted to give some other roms a shot so I followed the process of downgrading the BL to MLK, launch SS, wipe, flash, update BL to MLD and reboot.

At this point everything went to s*(& and I can only flash back to stock. I'll root the S4 again, install ss3.71, flash a 4.4 ROM, flash kernal, reboot in download and flash the 4.4 bits. From that point on I'm stuck in bootscreen hell.

Which recovery process should I be following? I've tried a couple and been careful to follow the steps but I'm still getting the same result.

What am I missing?

Thanks everybody!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] t4duzan:
Maybe I'm missing something as well because I'm still on MK2 and haven't took the leap to NB1 yet, but I would think you want SS 3.72, right? That's the only thing I see that looks out of place.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
If you are on MK2 base, and want to flash a 4.4.2 ROM, follow my steps from the post above yours and you should be fine. Start with ODIN back to mk2 stock.

In my experience, if you flash a bad rom, there is nothing you can do until you odin back to stock first.

and remember... bootloader is locked so you can't flash a kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
You can still use ss 3.71 with 4.4.2 ROMs. You'll just have to odin before entering ss recovery and then afterwards too.

ss3.72 makes it a lot easier.

Shirley you must be joking. I'm currently using Deadly Venom v3.0.1 SS Edition. My battery life is FANTASTIC! (Thumbs way up Team Venom :good: :good: :good:) My phone has been up for nearly 12 hours & I still have 45% battery. I use my phone for work so I've done about 2 dozen phone calls, 1 hour of I-heart radio use, and about an hour of web use on LTE. This has GREAT battery life compared to stock. Are you freezing all of your un-used apps? I don't think so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] guut13:
He's not joking... And don't call him Shirley.

It may have to do with when he is pulling his results. If its from day one, when you spend the first few hours, setting up your phone, installing all your apps then yes... the battery is going to drain while you are maxing out performance. Best to let the ROM settle a day or two before checking the battery stats.

You are right about the us-used apps. Got to get them out or frozen to max your battery life.

I've never used greenify, but titanium backup can freeze or delete. Also the debloater app from OP will delete all the bloat you don't use.

Since we can odin back to stock, no real reason to freeze apps (unless you think you might use it later). I'd say just delete what you don't need.

Sorry. I was looking for... "The battery! What is it?"

It's a small rectangular object in the back of the phone that provides power... But that's not important right now.
