Tweaks list:

EXT4 Tweaks:

Quote:

This mod will turn ON data_writeback for all 3 partitions - system, data and cache. This will drastically improve I/O performance (mostly on write operations) at the expense of file system integrity in certain situations, like unexpected system shutdown. The risk is not extreme, but still bigger then regular. Use this to improve your system performance, but you flash it at your own risk!

Rate this thread 5 stars and Click Thanks to my posts

Known Bugs for VZW Safestrap Version:

Signal Bars won't Show. Still get 4g but wont show Strength. Theres apps available if you must know in the the Playstore.

In Aroma Installer Avoid the Material Design Theme Choice or the Alternate Dialer Theme choice and the System Note 4 Upgrade choice in the options menu - might work but usually these choices result in a stalled boot

If ROM doesn't boot within 8 Minutes (yes it takes a long time inital boot up!) then try reinstalling with less options!

&

If you wish to report a bug, Do it only in this thread in the Verizon Development Section!

- If you just want to share something, follow me/this rom, talk with me, rave or rant or ask questions that haven't been answered post here or in the Q&A Section. Unless your a donator (whose questions are usually answered ASAP) I'd prefer it if you didnt Message me it will take me longer to replay to Personal Messages than by posting in thread and being answered by other users or myself.

Downloads:

PhoeniX 10.0 VZW V1 with NC2 Baked in Modules

Installation Instructions for Safestrap (MDK users can try but I won't support! Use a Custom Kernel if your MDK something close to stock for best results!):

Download the ROM from above

Donate to us by using links a little ways up the page while you install the ROM in Safestrap 3.75+ over a freshly created ROM Slot!

Flash your System Modules in Safestrap (NC2 Modules should be baked into the ROM so Reset once Aroma is done is fine!)

Then Reset Phone and wait initial bootup is slow

If you have errors or issues with data or wifi and your using NC2, NC5 or NG6 Firmware please flash one of the "WiFi Fixes" I offer before commenting on or giving up on the ROM. The all in one fixes I offer are easily found by searching my AndroidFileHost website!

PhoeniX ROM For Samsung Galaxy S4 I545, a ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S 4

Contributors

tamirda & gogolie

ROM OS Version: 4.4.2

Version Information

Status: Stable

Current Stable Version: v10.0 VZW V1

Stable Release Date: 2014-11-23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Old 4.3 PhoeniX ROM:

with tamirda's perms I present...

Phoenix 7.3 for Safestrap / Multi Carrier Friendly / Any TWRP Capable Recovery Compatible! ML1/MK2/MKF based| Fast | Stable | Clean | De/Odexed | Note 3 Features! / Simple install / Themed / TW4.3

- SAFESTRAP (Install to any slot and restore to Stock slot too! Compatible with VZW - AT&T - TMO and can be installed on MDK/MDL and should be any phone with TWRP recovery.

If you dont know about Phoenix get familiar (read the thread.). This version features a cool Floyd theme. Restore it to your stock slot in Safestrap or to any slot you like or restore it with TWRP/Philz any recovery that is TWRP compatible should work. AT&T and other carriers may need to flash your MK2 modules or add in TMO APN / AT&T APN settings to get this beast working 100%. If that didn't fix your problem then you need to install the GSM / LTE carrier modem (just guessing that your GSM if you can't get this going as thats been only complaint of lost data and he was able to fix it with proper carrier modem).

Known issues/Not Working (only for select users):

No issues exist if phone is setup properly. however...

If it doesnt work for you I'm sorry your best bet if your on VZW is SS with something else installed stock slot would be mk2/mj7 stock odin, reroot, ss,(I go to MK2 as I have best speeds and benchmarks with it) n I know it will work flawlessly if rooted and setup as described cause I've used this ROM package on 7 phones for clients (1 AT&T, 2 TMOs one with mdl bootloader and one with locked and 4 VZWs).... enjoy took me some time to put together so if it works thank me or better yet donate so you can see updates and more roms!

Due to packaging restraints and installation issues a familiar format like .zip is not available yet but will be soon. Until then please use the TWRP/SS restore option as its a more viable install and can be restored onto any slot including Stock through Safestrap. If someone wants to help the cause please install this through philztouch then create a zip from the rom do not flash anything else over the rom and upload the zip and PM me the link it'd help me out a lot!

Lil about me: I'm a now broke, technically I'm disabled (w/ 4 crushed discs in spine the gov says I'm too young to get disability and shouldn't admit that MMJ medicine works for me they=heartless pricks)I'm a full time single parent of a 1 yr old so I don't get a lot of time for my passions anymore. ex award winning programmer (lost the love for it, be sure to copyright anything you intellectually own especially when it comes to working with G or MS. they'll steal your everything claim you signed it over and hang you out to dry) now i'm just a fellow android lover with a knack for making things work when they normally won't, experimenting, coding,scripting, anything I feel like doing so if this or any of my other creations or additions to your phone helped you in any way help keep my kid in fresh diapers or put a beer in my hand please. Anything is better than nothing I have spent countless hours learning testing and everything in between to bring you cool stuff like this. Thanks!

Install:

Unzip into your new SS backup dir into your backup Safestrap folder in a folder like gogolies-phoenix73-v5 make sure all files are simply in 1 folder and that folder is in your backup directory and restore to a ***blank/newly created or STOCK*** rom slot. I went super small as small as SS would allow for slot creation. If your getting an error on restoring be sure to try deleting the slot and re-adding it then restoring the system files. If your WiFi doesn't work try flashing MJ7 or MK2 SS modules but only flash modules after 1st booting up rom and knowing wifi isnt working. 1st boot takes time plz allow a minute after loading up 1st time.

Download SS/TWRP Install by Restores: Version 5
