I have NAE that could be the reason why the port won't work, because of the KNOX bootloader.

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

Just like how you can't downgrade to 4.3 it probably won't let you install a ROM that's not NAE
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CNexus:
No, that's not how knox works. You can install any rom. Try a different recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] churchey360:
I always assumed we couldn't install 4.3 ROMs anymore I never tried it since updating to 4.4 lol. I guess you just can't flash the stock 4.3 tar file and downgrade that way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CNexus:
You just can't even attempt to downgrade the bootloader, which is why you can't flash the full stock tar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] churchey360:
I really don't see any use of downgrading bootloaders anyway lol.

Which recoveries does this work with?

I tried flashing with CWM but the install was aborted. Ive tried using twrp. but the rom wouldnt start. (it would boot but couldnt get pass the start up to sign in to google.)

did i just have a bad download or have i messed up with the recovery and try it again with some other method.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
That's the standard problem. It gives a 4 out of 5 args error. [MENTION=3409070]droiddawg[/MENTION] is working on rebuilding it from a different source ROM if I'm not mistaken.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Yes, I'm working on rebuilding it. Might not be up tonight, probably tomorrow afternoon. I'm comparing a build JDS did
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
That's awesome! Really looking forward to being able to use this ROM. Hope you can get it to work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Haven't had much of a chance to mess around with it guys. Back at work and got some stuff going on in real life. Hoping I can tinker tomorrow.

Remote sensor?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Any developments on a possible release?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
Don't ask those sort of questions. They run along the eta questions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
No eta yet. :) Hopefully within the next day or so, been working my ass off lately. :(

Kachhh, I will check on the sensor. You talking about using it as a remote via the WatchOn app?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
That's fine, don't overstress yourself about it. If you do, we risk it not becoming fun for you and stopping development ?. :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] istealstuff:
Its good. Take your time. If it gets stressful take a break. You definitely deserve it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Do you know if TouchWiz apps are compatible with this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Watch on should work. Didn't have much luck with others due to the lack of touchwiz framework. Gear manager works with the lack of text notifications and weather if you have the watch.

Sorry for neglecting the ROM. Going to work on it today and will hopefully have something up when the wife goes to work. Its been a crazy couple of weeks. Found out my wife is pregnant so that's been a priority. :) Once she leaves I'll crank on the laptop and get something going for you all. :)

Edit: She just left and laptop is in front me. Working on rebasing to the vzw build.

Edit2: Got it rebased, built and signed. Flashing & testing now. Once I run it for an hour or so to check stability I will upload for all to try. Hopefully it fixes non-boot issues because I want everyone to run this rom. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Ok guys! Updated OP and here it is.

Release 5 is here:

Download: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407586185

MD5: c8c33ed3248b667d7067a3d02798bde1

Changed base to Danvdh's VZW build rather than T-Mobile (thanks Danvdh)

Swapped out kernel (thanks JDS3118)

Couple more build.prop edits (thanks JDS3118)

Samsung WatchOn included (thanks Danvdh)

Added apps: flash player, chrome, google now launcher (more of GPE experience vs Nova), play music, apollo, maps, xposed, gravitybox, hangouts, root browser, aosp browser (RLS4 i added these as system apps, fixed this round.) (thanks JDS3118)

Let me know if it boots for you all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] churchey360:
Downloading now. Does it matter what recovery we use?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
I use twrp. Most have issues with anything else.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] churchey360:
Yeah I'll ty it with twrp. Philz just gave me the arg need 5 only 4 error and some status 7 error lol. But I will try twrp.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Yeah, the updater-script needs to be updated for philz
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Downloading now. Btw, congrats!

Edit: Successful flash with TWRP. Let's hope it boots!

Edit2: Bootloop. :( What would you suggest?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] churchey360:
Yeah twrp gave me a bootloop too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Thank you. :) Did you do a factory wipe and wipe system?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Didn't wipe system. I'll try that.

Edit: Still bootlooping... is there a certain kernel we should try?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] churchey360:
I cleaned to install new ROM which includes factory reset and wipes system with philz then i flashed twrp and rebooted to recovery and flashed the ROM and it still bootlooped.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
System is where the rom is actually located. Let me know if it works out. :D Otherwise restore and I'll work on it it some more. :laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Okay, will try to finish working out the kinks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Yeah, I assumed when you flash a new ROM on there it just overwrote the whole system partition :P

But, you know what they say about assuming...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
It may not help. Churchey did't have any luck with a system wipe.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Yeah I tried and it still looped. Too bad I was in so much a hurry to get off Crapogen and didn't back up... Oh well, cloud based contacts ftw
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Looking into why there are still no boots. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Good luck! Hope its not too hard. Should I try a different kernel maybe? Also, when it loops, it does some weird thing where it vibrates once, waits a 1.5 seconds or so, then vibrates twice, and loops that cycle. Don't know if that helps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Thats where it tries to boot. Phone should vibrate and leave boot animation and go into rom. It's normal. Unfortunately, it has to be a GPE based kernel and the one we have in this rom is bone stock.

Edit: Got jds3118 to help me out. He should be meeting with a tester tomorrow. I'm gonna do some research tonight and see if I can figure it out. I have no idea why it boots on mine but not on others. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Would flashing a GPE kernel after I flash the ROM possibly help?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] churchey360:
I thought ktoonsez was gonna help out making a sprint GPE kernel for it lol?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Using the GPE kernel from post 55 doesn't work :'( two different attempts.. Once with kernel flash before ROM, once with kernel flash after ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jds3118:
Ktoonsez confirmed stock kernel should work fine

got passed bootloader

i did a clean install and couldnt get pass the boot loader. after i did a dirty install and it got passed the bootloader. Once i got passed the bootloader i kept getting error signs and just closes email, exchange services, gapps, and Configupdater. that kept occuring when i was in the start up screen. But once i got passed that i was in the home menu and it seems to be working for now. havent had a problem for about ten minutes.

Using CWM.

*Update*

Spoke too soon. second i posted the first part my messaging app crashed and the phone started to vibrate on its own from time to time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Try making a back up then do a factory wipe, but don't reflash. Also, what ROM are you coming from?

Also, what version of CWM are you using? I'm getting a 4 out of 5 args error.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jds3118:
Go back into recovery and factory reset then reboot

Sent from an Echoenian
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] istealstuff:
ill try that right now. im coming from triforce rom 5.4 and using the latest version of CWM 6.0.4.7
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] meluvalli:
Still Bootloops :(

Still doesn't work on my phone :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Once I get home today, I'm going to see if I can come up with something else. I've pretty much ruled out the kernel as being a suspect. Going to hit the updater script (should fix philz and cmw arg messages) and going to see about deodexing the rom. If those don't help, I'll find other stuff to do until it works or unless jds3118 finds the booboo first. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Hope you can get the CWM script to work right. I prefer CWM. Something about having to use volume keys makes it feel cooler. :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] @BB:
Flashing Suggestion

Would someone with the new version try the following using CWM or PhilZ recovery…

1.	Factory reset 3 times

2.	Format the following 3 times

“system”

“cache”

“data”

“cache”

“/data and /data/media (/sd card)”

3.	** Reboot recovery **

4.	Then try to flash the ROM​

I’ve has to do this with another ROM and it seemed to work. I’m away from my home network where I have a fast download to copy it to my laptop and try myself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Ok guys, working on it now. The wife is closing tonight so I've got a few hours. :) Will edit if I find anything and post if I get a new build up.

Sent from an Echoenian
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
You're the man! Haha. I'm tinkering away at it now.

Edit: Going back and killing some framework that I edited a while back and replacing it with danvdh's. May have to re-introduce the darkui and battery% additional zips if it works. I accidentally wiped my /data/media so my nandroid is gone and I'm starting fresh I guess. Not too thrilled because I lost some music and photos. Oh well, thats what I get for rushing through a twrp wipe. I did duplicate the no-boots in the process. It's looking like it may be a jar/odex mismatch issue. Will let you all know what's up here in a few. (I was able to boot RLS1 that I had on my ext sd,lol)

Edit2: Exactly what it seems to be. Jar/odex mismatch causing no boots. Uploading build to private androidfilehost for jds3118 and one more selected tester to test and once they give the go ahead then its free game for all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
RLS 5.5

Okay guys, testers gave me the go ahead. ;) Updated OP. Dirty flash if you must, but I would clean install this. More to come in a few days. This one should boot for you all, it just may take a little bit to boot. :)

Note: It will fail the *22899 call, let it continue. Wait a minute or two on the mobile activation data screen (or once you see 1X or 3G) you can exit out of it.

If you have signal, but no data...go into the "Access Point Names" settings in More Settings and click the LTE APN. If that doesn't work, toggle airplane mode. If that doesn't work, reboot.

If your 3G/4G Data drops, toggle airplane mode on&off to reconnect

As of right now, only TWRP is supported. Please use the latest TWRP to flash. Do a factory reset, wipe system, and wipe cache/dalvik cache again to be safe!

04/14/14 RLS5.5

Changelog:

Replaced the jar/odexes that were mismatched and were causing no boots (will rebuild them next release).

Google Now Launcher requires Google Search update. Update the app and reboot to use Google Now Launcher if you choose. (will update APKs in next RLS).

Changed base to Danvdh's VZW build rather than T-Mobile (thanks Danvdh)

Flashed a few hrs ago using twrp as stated in post #2 of the op.. All systems go on my end. :) Pics send in about 1 second when I sent a few out this morning, LTE is fine.. My gps seems a little off, says I'm like 5-6 blocks away from where I'm actually located.. I will backup and restore tw, get a lock and return and see if that helps... Will report back later. Tks!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] oldpreowner:
I came from a tw ROM and my GPS is spot on. So that might help you out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
I flipped mine off then back on a few times and all the sudden its correct. O_o

WiFi tether works great! I drank a LARGE cup of coffee so will go off the air a while. Haha. Tks again op and all who helped and contributed to this!

*Edit: Seems screenshots won't save, just says 'saving screenshot..'
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] oldpreowner:
I lost data when switching from WiFi. Tried all the steps listed in the op but I had to restart the phone to get it back.

The Rom is running extremely smooth. I used gravity box to get the battery percent. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] daniel4653:
Awesome to have a working port now. Thanks.

Do think you can use gravity box to make the signal bars into 5 or 6?

Can somekne confirm that S-Beam works? I use it a few times a day to share files with my family.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] oldpreowner:
I have made 3 screenshot and can confirm they are saving on my phone.

For some strange reason when I went to take one of 'about phone' this morning it just said saving and didn't work and now it works. Weird..

Glad it's working for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shepscrook:
Is this working with wireless charging for anyone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Seems to be a few little hit or miss issues. I'm sure once the ROM settles you all should be good. :) I'll give beam a shot when I get home today. Glad to hear of no no boot issues though. Lol. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Thank you for tip on battery percent. I never really messed with gravity box until now. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] oldpreowner:
Just wanted to say thanks for the nice Rom! I've been running it all day with just that one time not getting my data back. I'm on the road today and I've been switching towers all day and it's working fine!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] buzzwyzr:
This ROM should be taken down immediately!! I flashed this and it removed ALL the Touchwiz from my phone. I can't use fancy hand gestures to answer my phone anymore...my S-View cover doesn't work anymore (its the same as you robbing me at gunpoint for $45 because that's what I paid for the S-View and now I can't use it!)...my phone doesn't sound like a water drop every time I touch the screen anymore...this is RIDICULOUS!!! What a *"'#@&! joke. [emoji35]

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sixshooterz:
Almost blew a gasket when I started reading this! Glad I read the "Seriously" part before replying! :)

Been lurking and following the progress of this rom since Day 1 and am looking forward to playing with it and not having bootloop issues!

Thanks for trudging thru and not giving up!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Apozem:
Heh, you almost got me too with that one. Glad it's working for you too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
Lol. I seriously laughed hard when I got to the end. That was good. :)

What I've gathered so far is WiFi downloading large files requires a retoggle. Data sometimes requires reselecting the APN, toggle, or reboot. Other launchers may not work correctly (I haven't tested other than nova or gn). Some blurriness on pics vs touchwiz cam.

I can't really test battery life because I work in a warehouse where I literally have 1 or 0 bars and my battery life is always garbage.

I'm going to look into these to see what can be done about them without breaking any progress. :)

My battery life seems pretty good. About the same as CM11 and better than TW. And I have beautiful reception all through school.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
One thing I've noticed is if you share a link via YouTube through messaging it won't send as mms. You have to toggle airplane mode a couple of times to force it through. Not sure if it's ROM related, MMS.apk related or YouTube related.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Apozem:
Been testing the camera some with Snap Camera HDR. Picture quality looks good so far, although slightly worse than with the TouchWiz camera. I got better results by turning on HDR and increasing the sharpness. I'd say this ROM's camera is at 80-90% of the TW one, which is fantastic. I usually don't do AOSP ROMs because of the camera issues.

Here's two albums for comparison. First one is taken with this ROM + Snap, second with stock TW ROM + TW cam.

Also, seeing some weird performance with the menu button. The software one that you get on a phone without a hardware menu key shows up in apps where it's not supposed to, like reddit sync and Klyph. Doesn't show in Chrome, oddly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dyandell:
I have been running this since yesterday afternoon. So far it runs great. I will be going into some extremely rural areas this morning so I will see if the data works in "extreme" conditions where they normally should. :) I did have a problem yesterday once with the phone. I called someone and they accidently rejected the call. They called back as I tried to call again. The phone pretty much freaked. The screen started flashing. I think it was due to the calls being disconnected and new calls coming in all at once but just something to keep an eye on. The only other thing I have noticed is when you use the toggle to turn off wifi, instead of just touching it and turning off wifi, you have to hold it a little while to get it to turn off. If you hold it too long, it will send you to the wifi settings where you can slide it to off. Not a big deal and since I have never used a GPE rom, this may be normal.

Great work! I have been on LS and Negalite but this may become my daily if everything works today. :good::good::good::good::good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] oldpreowner:
I was doing some traveling yesterday and had to toggle airplane mode twice after talking on the phone. No big deal but you might need to do this if you lose data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
I'll see if I can duplicate the screen flicker between calls. It may have just been a fluke.

I'm also looking into making data more stable to where an airplane mode toggle won't be necessary. :)

As far as WiFi toggle, its tap for settings, hold for connect. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TheDylantula:
Also, I'm having a bug that CM suffered with that the in-call options don't show up. Even if I go to the status bar and click the call notification there, the screen just turns off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] droiddawg:
No call options here. Getting back into a call from home screen works fine for me. Try a cache and dalvik wipe.
