Yes. You just won't be able to use any of the features because they require xposed.

Yes but I don't have time to make it flashable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jchavez1993:
If you have any time can you upload them i dint want to make it flashable i wante to compare files i absolutely love this rom its extremely effin awesome down to bare bone just how i like it

There's an an exposed module called rootcloak I believe also... If not its an app. But I would use this to block certain apps from detecting my root status. Worked perfectly.

The "BEST TW ROM" I ever used. I think this is "THE ROM" which makes TW enjoyable. Thanks OP :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dex1701:
That doesn't work for me. In fact, I can send/receive MMS just fine with wifi turned on and wifi calling turned off. When I have wifi calling turned on I can't send/receive MMS. Anyone know if there's a fix?

Thanks!

FWIW - this is the only issue I have with this firmware...it'll likely be my daily for some time to come. There are other good ones out there, but I've had too many little issues with them. I like the functional, de-bloated simplicity of this one. I don't have as much time to flash, flash, and re-flash as I used to, so some of the others with all the wacky customizations are more trouble than they're worth for me. I wish I had as much time to experiment as I used to. :) No offense meant to the devs of the other firmwares. I just need something that's stable and consistent without CIQ, KNOX, and bloatware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] diptenkrom:
there is an xposed module for MMS over with wifi calling. it doesn't work by default, just calls and SMS. I don't remember the name as I don't ususlly do it, I have not installed it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dex1701:
I did some searching around and I wasn't able to find it, but thanks for the tip!

Here you go -

Also, if applicable -

Again - These are modules for the Xposed framework and not standalone.

Got error 7 using philz touch

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

Can you change so stock messaging app send emojis as SMS and not MMS?..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nhatduongchi:
I couldn't flash the latest version in Philz touch also, after it flashed system then gave error then abort (I checked MD5 before flashed and it was correct). Have to restore back to my old Rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoloVon:
this file doesn't work with odin...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Please use ClockWorkMod recovery. You can get a "touch" version of it and it works just as good if not better then philz. I used to use philz and had nothing but issues with it. Not to mention, i don't have the time to flash each and every recovery out there to see if it works with it. So please use ClockWorkMod.

Or you can look at the updater-script and see why its erroring out and fix it yourself :)

Thats because you flash it in a custom recovery not in odin.

Sartup and Shutdown Sounds

Hi, this a great ROM. I been running it for awhile and have not had any issues. Is there a setting where you can disable the sartup and shutdown sounds? They get kind of annoying when you reboot your phone a lot. Thanks.

David

UPDATE: I found an app in google play called Silent Boot that did the trick.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] egren58:
Ugh why cant I sync my contacts?...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
For future reference, all you gotta do is go into /system/media/audio/ui and find PowerOn.ogg and PowerOff.ogg and either change the extension or delete them altogether.

Either pull GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk from another 4.4.2 ROM or download the bloat pack and grab it from there.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nhatduongchi:
I flashed Official Unofficial Mahdi-ROM 2.4 [4.4.2] just fine and been using it before this rom. Before that I used KitKat V7 too, no problem flashing either. That's really weird.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Try TWRP 2.7.0.1 or whichever is latest. I had similar issue (Installation Aborted error) with CWM. I flashed this ROM with TWRP without any issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] diptenkrom:
i am using philz touch and had no problems philz is based on CWM and you are both having the same problem. you cant use the latest version. go back about 2 =versions and it will work. i have had the status 7 error on a couple roms. it has to do with the installer incompatibility i think. but flash an older philz touch/CWM and it will work.

and you only flash tars in odin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Its probably the updater binary. But if that other guy said it won't work on CWM its definitely something else.

Cant get any samsung keyboard to work it just keeps fc even from the ota still fc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Samsung Keyboard requires approx 100 megabytes of files. I removed a lot of stuff. It will take a lot to get it working. it didn't work even before i removed stuff. I seriously don't understand why you want that keyboard anyhow. There are infinity keyboards on the play store that are a million times better.

If you really want it working, you will need to look at the logcats. i personally don't have the time to go through everything.

Can only install WarpDrive with TWRP

Hi,

I can only install the WarpDrive ROM with TWRP. When I use ClockWorkMod I get a set_perm error message. Do you know what could be causing this issue? I would like to ClockWorkMod so I can backup to my sd card. TWRP won't backup to a sdcard if it's in exfat and I have videos over 4 gigs. Thanks.

David
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Check post #311 above, that may help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] davidst95:
Thanks for the info. I was able to use latest philz touch to install the WarpDrive ROM without any issue. Hopefully now I can save backups to my 64 GB micro sd that's in a exFat format.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chaous2000:
Why would you delete the Google contacts synch apk on an android Google based phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Because some people (including myself) do not like having personal information in a place where anyone could access with just your email address. And Google does not allow disabling sync BEFORE adding an account.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lalec:
Because Google doesn't own our phones. We do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chaous2000:
Fair enough :) also, this room is amazing. My phone is so much faster now. No more lag. It's awesome
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Thanks! You can also get the Google contacts sync adapter from the bloat installer zip. Just flash in recovery and choose which bloat to install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] chaous2000:
Yeah, that's what I did. The fact you went to the trouble to putting that together as well as awesome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] highlander07422:
Where is the CSC folder located in the zip?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
It's omitted as it allows more things available. But some things are removed (like ip protocol type for apn) but you gain more things. You can add it before or after flashing tho. Goes in system directory. Any csc folder will do.

Compass

Anyone having an issue with the magnetometer (compass) with this firmware? I noticed that I was having a problem with an app that I use to mark and re-find things in big parking lots, festivals, etc. not too long ago (uses the compass to show you which direction to walk), but didn't pay much attention to it. I was trying to use Google SkyMap the other night and couldn't get it to orient correctly (also uses accelerometers and compass). I tried calibrating the compass several times and still no magnetometer joy. I also occasionally get a FC on SensorModule when I use apps that hit up the compass. Is it me or the firmware? Many thanks!

Edit:

Interesting. Seems to work until I get the FC from SensorModule, which seems to happen somewhat randomly. Disregard my above comment...I'll come back if I come to some better conclusions about the symptoms. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lalec:
I've never gotten that kind of thing to work right even on stock ROM. If you are sure what you are trying to do worked with stock I'd like to know what app(s) worked for my own future reference. Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tehnerdbeast:
Very nice rom! Only issues I've encountered are constantly getting calender not working (yes clean install) and unable to download certain apps for gear 2 (watch styler/calculator) someone had said a fix to weather was in bloat installer but not sure which one? Not sure if that'll be same thing to fix the app issue. Other then that fast/smooth/battery life is great and all other settings work.:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Describe not working? It works just fine for me. I've actually been using it quite a bit lately. actually getting myself organized xD
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tehnerdbeast:
It's the pop up error stating that calendar application process closed and only option gives is okay. I did clean install twice and it didn't like me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:

Would you happen to know if there is a pure black theme that is compatible with your rom? great work by the way
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
No i don't know. But modifying images isnt that hard in apks :) You could be the first one to do it? :) Just takes a lot of time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] suck it monkeys:
Thanks for the vote of confidence.. Any reading that you could direct me to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
You could start by using my GUI Apk Tool in my signature. Just ensure you have .NET Framework installed.

Then you can browse apks and inside the "res" folder you will find images and xml layouts. (Google will help you figure out what all that stuff is/does) Then you can simply change images using PhotoShop or Fireworks (Paint will not work :) )
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrdreamers:
Whats the difference between the two tools you have?:confused:

Does sms working with this ROM?

I just installed it and never tried, but then after a number of other installs from my backup, I've tried and it's not sending. Not sure if it's something I did...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
Sms works without an issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Its prolly something with your backups. Try setting your default SMS program. I remember something like this happening on my 4.3 ROM. I can't remember what i did, but i do remember it was a backup that i restored conflicting with the SMS sending.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] theman1111:
Did it break wifi calling once you flashed it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wildboyz322:
No not at all. It worked perfectly fine for me and I've flashed the theme several times. Did that happen to you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] theman1111:
I know this might be a silly question but for exposed we just have to install the apk in the op right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
The xposed installer app is already on the device. Just run the app and click install framework. The apk is for my specific features. I don't have the time to do all the smali work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] theman1111:
Thanks a lot man.

I had another question why isnt google syncing my contacts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shortbus-Driver:
Becuz you didn't install gapps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
The apk which does that is removed. Since you can't disable sync BEFORE entering your Google information, i removed the apk to prevent sync from occuring. Download the bloat installer and select GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] theman1111:
Its a touchwiz rom I thought there were no gappps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] theman1111:
How could I get mms over wifi to work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
If you're using the stock messaging app I always thought it did work out of the box. I don't use stock messaging so I can't speak for myself just always read stock messaging app had that. If not, I'm sure I could mod it.

Just do what I said in the post right above yours.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] theman1111:
I thought the same thing but its not working for me do I need to install something from the bloatware aroma zip?

I had another question why do I keep getting a sim card removed error that requires me to reboot my phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
I hadn't touched anything regarding messaging/WiFi calling as those are basic features. But there might be an apk in there. I would recommend downloading and flashing another 4.4.2 ROM that isn't debloated (Like [MENTION=522448]Fenny[/MENTION] s stock ROM) to test first if its even enabled by default. I have no idea if it is or not.

Because you did something lol. Don't know. Its the first time its come up. Have you tried removing and reinserting the SIM? Have you tried Stock/Other ROMs? Your the first person to report this (to my knowledge) so I'm not sure why.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wildboyz322:
Hey love the rom! Appreciate all you've done. Quick question though...I am able display all my Google contacts, but I don't get the option to save new contacts to my Google account...is there anyway aid this? Is anyone else having the same issue? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Did you use the bloat installer and install GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk? Thats what you need :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wildboyz322:
I think I did since all my contacts from Google are on display... Do I have flash it in recovery or could I just go into folder and install the apk?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Flash it in recovery.If you have GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk on, it should sync the contacts once you add a new one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wildboyz322:
Wow that actually worked! I think I must've only installed the apk in es file Explorer. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswann:
Just wanted to say thanks for this ROM. I was using C-rom but when I got my Galaxy Gear I had to switch to a Touchwiz ROM so I could run the gear manager. I was wondering if there were any updates or if you were going to update to 4.4.3 when possible. Thanks again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
If T-Mobile releases the update to 4.4.3 then yes i will. I also have an update for my WarpDrive apk which has new features in it. Been busy though. Also, I sold my S4 for money to buy an S5 so I can't keep up with the ROM without releasing "beta" tests for people who still have the S4 to test it before releasing an official release.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswann:
I'll be happy to test anything for you. I think 4.4.3 will coming within the month for the S4, I think that was what I read. Thanks

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:

If you have the knox 4.4.2 bootloader everything works perfectly aside from being knox flagged. Otherwise, I am still working on a kernel workaround. ALL 4.4.2 ROMs are likely to suffer from this bug until we get a solution in place. But we're in elesbb's thread, so let's not talk about this here. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rubbamade:
that didn't work for me. now it says "error executing updater binary in zip"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fenny:
Did you disable signature verification?

You can re-sign the update zip if you really feel like it. That would probably fix your new issue.

Or do a full unzip, rezip with 7zip if signature verification IS off. it could be that modifying the zip file messed up the indexes (happens all the time)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rubbamade:
I never check zip file signature verification. its off. ill try again..nope
