Do you recommend us flashing this new VZW patch if we used the minimum patch during installation?

I will be happy to test this for you on a spare rom slot. I have PurifieD Dark AOSP ROM in the stock rom slot, so this will most likely be installed in rom slot 1.

*UPDATE:*

I installed CarHD ROM V.18 to rom-slot 1 on my VZW Galaxy S4, kept all of the default selections in Aroma installer, wiped cache/dalvik, flashed your latest VZW_PATCH_FULL, wiped cache/dalvik again, flashed the latest jfltevzw-MK2-modules, wiped cache/dalvik one last time and then rebooted.

- When booting up, it sat on the boot animation screen for a long time, about 15 minutes. I know first boot can take some time, but I thought 15+ minutes wasn't normal.

I did a battery-pull and went back into SS. I installed CarHD ROM V.18 in slot 1 again, flashed your VZW_PATCH_MINIMUM, flashed jfltevzw-MK2-modules and rebooted.

- This time I let the phone sit at the boot animation screen for 20+ minutes and still nothing. I am not sure what's going on and if I am missing something. If you have any suggestions, I will be willing to try them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Dont wipe cache/dalvik after flashing patch and modules

EDIT:

I forgot to tell you on the rom you download you will need to open zip with 7-zip dont extract and find the boot.img (there might be several if it is an aroma installer) and delete them I forgot cant flash kernels with safestrap and try these patches below
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wryun:
I will try again and let you know how it goes. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MehStrongBadMeh:
I don't know if it is this rom or the patches, but I cannot connect to WPA2 Enterprise Wi-Fi networks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dknell:
Thanks for the info. Any issues with group sms or Playstore app installs like the other SS roms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
udated zip

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
EDIT: 2-1-14 I updated the below patch to fix the FC and MMS issues. You will have to wipe and reinstall rom then flash the below patch then the ss modules and it should work fine now and the rom should retain its orginal theme.

I have read every post here and I think I need some clarification to install this ROM. I am safestrapped with MJ7 build base and wish to put it on my test rom slot1 where I am checking out all the safestrap compatible ROMS. Can you list the step by step instructions on what versions of this ROM will work with MJ7, and what modules to flash? Thx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MehStrongBadMeh:
I can confirm that this does not fix the WPA2 Enterprise connection issue.

Flash the 2.1 MKF rom, then flash the VZW_PATCH_MINIMUM_SS patches, and then the MJ7 Modules from the safestrap thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
thanks, I'll give this a try this weekend
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ahoslc:
What about a patch for non SS users so I can keep theme I am a MDK user.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Here you go Just download minimum patch to retain roms theme. If using on this rom remember there is no kernel included so it will use the last kernel you had flashed you can download kt kernel or one of the kernel from the international thread like talexop kernel if you flash one of them flash rom first then kernel then my patch my patch will make sure the kernel is loki'd
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gandhidog:
Thanks for all your help! I'm thinking of trying the Light AOSP version of this rom, which is XXUEMJ7 base. I see that your patch is for :

[XXUEMK8] [XXUEMKF] [XXUEML1] [XXUEML6] [XXUEML9] [XXUENA4]

My question is, can we still use your patch to run MJ7 base? Or do I need to run the MKF versions of this rom?

EDIT: based on reading through your thread, it looks like it may not work. Do you have the old version of your patch that could work on MJ7 roms? I browsed your androidfilehost page but only found the newest version of the patch (from Jan29th)

EDIT 2: got bored and just tried it anyway, lol. For anyone else wondering like I was, it does not work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nu2droid:
I am wanting to try the light themed one. I just want to confirm the process.

I am on the mk2 build, rooted with safer, safe strap installed. Do I need the mk8 file?

And what exactly is that and the module file for?

I am not a noob to roms or flashing but I for some reason am a little lost here. .

Hi mate,

As flattered as I am that you like my ROM and have decided to port it to VZW for people to use there, it would have been polite and the correct method to actually ask me to do it before you did it.

I would have had no problem with it, and I still don't even though you did it without asking me, but just for future reference it is the polite thing to actually ask the developer of the ROM you would like to port before you release it.

Now in saying that, if you need any help with issues then I'll try my best to help. Just post in this thread with [MENTION=4603975]daveyannihilation[/MENTION] in the question and I'll do my best to help.

By the way, if your users are using v2.0 MJ7 PurifieD then the screenshots you have posted will not be correct. That version had the blue quick settings icons and the blue status bar icons. If they want the ROM like the screenshots, then they will need to use v2.1 MKF.

Good luck and all the best,

Dave
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
This guy is a class act! He could have requested that this thread be closed. Maybe you guys running his rom should head over to his main thread and thank him
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] enc4real007:
Dave,

I am so sorry. I thought that in our private deliberations, I had asked for your permission. This is truly embarrassing and I would not have done so without your deliberation.

If you would like, I can make you the head of this thread. All Thanks go to you!

The biggest issue I am having is Device ID Registration with Verizon.

Basically all the device info: model etc still appears as GT-9505 even after the changes to the build.prop.

Also com.sec.phone FC's when I try to send a SMS SC (short code)

Could that be due to the SMSSC in *#*#4636#*#*?

Also cannot access the phone info.apk it also FC's?

THOUGHTS??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
I have no problems sending text number say for example 123 send could you give an example of the number your trying to text if its something that charges you it probably wont work because this is region specific and the the features xml is not set to allow it, you might also try the verizon stock SecMms.apk.. As far as verizon what are you referring to as Device Id Registragion? Verizon uses info from your sim card. if you have proper apn set and data is working thats all verizon is checking. Now some apps in play store are region specific and the play store reads the device name and model from build.prop. You have to remember your not running a verizon rom things like backup assistand and visual voice mail wont work. My full patch fixes these issues but as you all know you loose alot of the roms theme.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] enc4real007:
Ahh I see what you mean. So you are saying that in your patch the VZW SecMMS.apk is not there, and when I am trying to send a message, that is why it freezes up and FC's?

I need to look for the SecMMS.apk.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Well the secmms in my patch is a modded international version to work with verizon so far you are the only one that has had issues with it. I would still like to know what your talking about with device id registration. When are you getting ask to to register your device id?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
Any way to fix the fc's I get ...

Phone

NFC

GAPPS

on reboot and randomly while using..

Oh I think I found the answer with in the thread. .. newer patch ss zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gandhidog:
This rom is gorgeous. Thanks to daveyannihilation, enc4real007 and jrkruse for his patch to let us mdk users use this rom!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kylman5000:
Any update on WiFi WPA2 Enterprise working?

Using SS, MK2, and current patches.

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MehStrongBadMeh:
I still don't have it working. I was planning to just wait until another rom caught my eye and switch to that.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Trak-X:
Guys, only one question: will this flash also an European modem?

I am using the Verizon S4 in Europe and I cannot get LTE. I would like to try with european modem to see if it works or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] davidwilson83:
Why don't you make a Nandroid backup and try? If LTE isn't working, maybe try flashing a modem from your region through Odin or Mobile Odin?

Sent from my PurifieD Domination S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Trak-X:
I would do that, but i am locked by Verizon. My base is MJ7 and it doesn't allow me to flash another modem.

Through Safestrap, i was able to flash another modem, but not one from my area, only Verizon modems, which does not have the band i need. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
Hey Davey how goes the 4.4.2 Purified battle? I love your ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] davidwilson83:
Hi mate,

I have built the stock deodexed ROM. I have also built Domination theme for it. But I have something else I want to add which might take me a bit of time to implement. So it might be a week or 2 before I have it ready. Once it is available, the wait to get it will very soon be forgotten :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
Sweet. Can't wait!!!!....

Ever seen a issue with a double ringing notification when you get a incoming call. It's weird
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] davidwilson83:
Goodness no. That is weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
Ya its really weird it's a different than the selected ringtone. It only goes away after a reboot too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mpetruzz:
I can't seem to get this to install without going into a bootloop. I'm on 4.3 mk2 with SS. I flashed the three files in order and keep going into a bootloop. Which mk8 zip should I be flashing??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] antwan30184:
Same thing happen to me. Only way to get rid of it is reboot. Changed ringtones ....as well.still rings even you answer the ringing continues. Hang up ringing continues.wiped and restalled twice. Also tried with minimum and full jkruse same thing every time.

Safestrap to main ROM slot. Everything else worked perfect. That was too much so had to go back to hyperdrive. But love your ROM other than that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
Yep that is exactly what it is doing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
In order to flash other modems you need to be able to flash bootloaders. Your also playing with fire there if you loose your imei data your screwed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
is it possible to flash KT kernel on safestrap with the patch and Purified?

if so how?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MehStrongBadMeh:
Only if the kexec hack is released. So as of right now: No
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
thats what i thought
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
I'm getting ready to install this ROM as part of my ongoing thread concerning safestrap compatible ROMS. I have a MJ7 base verizon phone and I am still not entirely clear on what do we flash after we flash the rom?

Do we flash the minimum file or the old MJ7 file you posted here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gleggie:
Does this ROM work on non-safestrap phones? I'm on MDK firmware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evolishesh:
So I just bought a vzw s4 and it came with the mi1 firmware. Is there a root method to root it or should I just take the 4.3 update and rooted it than?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
not sure but you can always flash the original rom then use jrkruse's patch for vzw. you can do this with any international rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thedoman:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2498148

Can't downgrade apparently. Rooting the mk2 is easy. So why not update? Need to use safe strap according to all authorities. No custom recovery possible past mdk bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Raymondlikesroot:
Patch?

What patch should I use? The verizon minimum patch or the maximum patch? thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
i always use the full patch

Themes

Hi,

What version of themes would I need? MKF, MJ7, or MH78? My s4 is a verizon mk2 phone that is not international.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Raymondlikesroot:
I flashed the dark AOSP theme and compared to hyperdrive, the battery is worse. I would say the battery life is in between the stock s4 battery life and the hyperdrive battery life. Also, I sometimes get random reboots. But, overall, this is the one of the only good AOSP themed safestrap rom available
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] HipHopIsLyfe37:
Could you link me to that thread? I would like to see all the options I have for SS compatible ROMs. Currently running Hyperdrive but would like to switch it up

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
has anyone flashed v3.1 of purified. i flashed 2.1 and it has so far been awesome. i have already taken a backup of it in safestrap and will most likely restore it to my stock slot as long as it continues to function good on my test rom slot. i may try v3.1 after doing a little more research.

update: couldnt wait and loaded v2.1 to my stock rom slot so far so perfect. will test over the next few days and report back on battery life and stability. i normally run hyperdrive rls15 and have had that going in the stock slot for about a month. if battery life and stability on this rom is better i will keep it instead of hyperdrive. it doesnt offer as much customization, but thats what wanam xposed is for. But the aosp style theme is far superior to any theme ive used on hyperdrive and thats a huge selling point to me.

If your not sure how to restore your roms to the stock slot in safestrap check the main safestrap thread. I found a link explaining it. Its very simple to do. Its in the first few pages of the thread. Or just search it on XDA. Either way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
Purified 3.1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
Yeah its on the original ROM thread. Its uses aroma installer and let's you pick your theme during set up. Not sure of it works on the gs4 mk2 though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fafinaf:
I've read the whole thread but need some clarification.

I'm on a VZW Samsung Galaxy S4 running MJ7. I have safe strap installed etc. I need to know which files to flash after flashing the ROM. There have been posts with files attached stating they were updates but it's confusing to follow. Anyone willing to help? It'd be great if you could attach the files necessary but a link would be cool.

I want to upgrade out of MJ7 but the options are pretty much non existent as of right now. So it looks like this ROM is my best bet in terms of getting some AOSP action. Can't stand TW...

Thanks for the help and look forward to running this asap.
[Moto X Q&A] Konno_Yuuki:
So I'm having a bit of a conundrum. My current RAZR M is very nice, but is facing a few problems (I won't go into detail). After a lot of research, I've decided the Moto X will most likely be my next phone. Some additional motivation is I have a $50 coupon off a new Moto X and tomorrow starts Motorola's Moto X Valentine's Day sale. It seems like a good time to pick one up.

My question is should I get the Dev version with the black front with white backing, to which I'm not a huge fan of or get a MotoMaker version and design one that I like? Like most here, once I get my hands on the device, I'm going to want to root it and start tweaking everything to my liking. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Moto X Q&A] TheSaw:
There have been lots of threads on this. Searching is good.

The cheapest, most customizable and most tweakable is the T-Mobile version. this comes already carrier unlocked, and you can unlock its bootloader easily.
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
I think you already know the answer. It's like trying to decide between the ugly girl who gives it up easily or the attractive girl who makes you work for it but is totally worth the time and effort.

[Moto X Q&A] Coop9:
I'm assuming you're a VZW customer, and planning to stay as one... So don't get the Tmobile version.

What means more to you, a customized look, or the ability to unlock it? Unlocking guarantees you the ability to root. While you can root the VZW moto maker phones, you cannot now, and likely will never be able to unlock it.
[Moto X Q&A] Konno_Yuuki:
To be fair, I did search and not just here. Most what I found were people moving from "top-tier" model phones. The other being that the prices have change a bit from the release date. I will keep you advice in mind though.

I was thining the T-Mobile version would be the best too. From what I've read, it'll be a bit of work but that is part of the fun.

While I may not like to context of your analogy, you message is clear. Getting a beautiful phone and putting forth a bit of work to making fully my own may be worth it in the end.

When I originally got my RAZR M, I was on VZW (prepaid to be exact), the tweaks I had done to make it work on their network caused to phone to not play well with the network at times. I removed the frequency block on the radio and now am running my RAZR M with a GoPhone SIM. Works much better even if AT&T's coverage isn't as good a VZW's in my area.
[Asus Transformer TF701] ixl4:
Hey guys here's a little background.

I've had just about every well known tablet ever put out...

After selling my beloved nexus 10, I bought the note 10.1 2014 as my latest tablet and honestly hated a few things...

The screen. I could clearly make out pixels. the tiny bezels I would find myself accidentally touching the sides of the screen unwanted. Finally the physical home and back button with no screen buttons. When in portrait mode, I would have to hit the back button on the bottom (side at this angle) of the tablet to go back and that would just be very awkward... So it's gone.

I also played with a 701t and liked the screen much better, could not make out the pixels. but am not too crazy about thick bezel size. I understand they need to be that to work with the dock but the dock itself is troublesome and I am waiting for definite news of fixed issues.

After years and years of android only, I am writing this post from my new iPad air 32gb. I didn't want to be one of the ignorant people that knocks apple without trying their product first. I love the screen resolution and think the ratio works well, but I miss the android environment dearly. I can say I gave this a go and now am ready to be sure that android is far superior to iOS. I only paid 440 for a brand new sealed 32gb air so I won't lose money selling it.

Having said that, I am sick and tired of waiting for a new nexus 10 device and am thinking of getting another 701t for a daily driver. I guess what I am looking for is a bit of convincing on why this would be the right choice. How is the tegra for gaming? How is the daily experience?

I am continuously looking for perfection and understand well that it doesn't exist, but I do like having things close to it.

Looking forward to some responses from you 701t owners.

Thanks in advance :o
[Asus Transformer TF701] AngryDinosaur:
The tablet running CromiX has performance optimization, less software issues than Asus stock, less bloat as well. The dock yes has problem but if you hold off on buying it they week fix it. The hardware is decent, I fixed the loose screen bezel on my own no problem now. With this price range and performance you only have this and note 10.1 which is 100$ more
[Asus Transformer TF701] xRevilatioNx:
Love my device. Owned the whole Transformer line. Best of the bunch, and not even close!
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
I agree, the TF701 is the best so far. It's so fast out of the box that for me there's only one reason to unlock and custom rom it: I find it boring to just use it - gotta play with it. ;)

The TF700 introduced me to flashing. It was so goddarn buggy and slow - I just couldn't stand it (and I will be forever grateful for that). The 701 is a great device out of the box. My only gripe is that I still like the screen on the 700 much better. Everything seems either pale or yellowish on the 701 and yes - I've maxed out the few options the Splendid app provides.
[Asus Transformer TF701] david90531:
Even with all these problems with the dock and bezel fitting issues, I still have to say I'm glad I went with Transformer once again (upgrading from Prime). The big boost in specs really made this tablet a lot more productive than the Prime, and not to mention the great WiFi signal finally makes browsing worth-while on this machine.

If you're on the fence because of the dock, I would suggest to wait for another few month and wait for the corrected batch, hopefully Asus will pick up their game about that. Or you could also get a separate bluetooth keyboard, not as convenient but might work better in the end. I am currently on my 4th dock and even though it's another Oct one, it seems to be the best so far and hardly disconnects, so unless it acts out again within 30 days, I will be keeping the dock.
[Asus Transformer TF701] beady_uk:
I just wanted to mention this here.

If anyone in the UK is looking to buy one of these then i recommend amazon. I had 3 from ebuyer and they were all 10.2013 models and had the dock disconnection issue. Ebuyer customer service is 5 star and exchanged the defective tablets without an issue but after 3 i thought i would give amazon a try and they have 2013.12 models and the dock connection in snug like the TF201. I have only just received it so cant tell if there is any other issues yet but the dock is a 100% better fit.

Hopefully this helps someone.

Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF701] devilsaces:
Is the Dock the 12.2013 model? or the Tablet? You are the one of the few to say they received a December build. I have an October tablet and a November dock.
[Asus Transformer TF701] marcmarshall:
I have had 7 docks, 5 from Amazon USA, and all had the disconnect issue. I like th TF701, it replaces my TF101, but I am about ready to give up. Amazon has been great with customer service but the product is defective. BTW, one of those docks was an 11.2013 manufacture.
[Asus Transformer TF701] david90531:
Hm this December dock thing is making me consider sending this one back again, since it still disconnect occasionally, and also the number 5 key became sticky and gets stuck for half a second since 2 days ago... Hopefully my next dock will be the magical December dock
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
By all means! Keep sending them back until you get one that works 100% - as you are entitled to!
