upon boot up process.com.android.phone quit, I hit ok twice and havent seen it since. did notice in aroma it doesnt matter what you pick, as far as sammy apps, you do end up with others. i usually only install watchon well i see the music and my files, no big issue i know how to delete em just thought i would pass on the news. anyway to not install the VZW apps (i only have My Verizon Mobile and Mobile hotspot)?. flashed latest KT kernel looks sweet though guys thanx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
Please note this rom is based on MK2 however should run on any build given that either one of two dependencies are met.

1. If on MK2/MJ7 install and make sure to choose the MK2 modules

2. If on a loki or dev edition device then install a custom kernel after installing the rom.

If you're not sure what you have, look. To determine your baseband version, go to settings, abount phone, and look for "Baseband version".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Ahh thats a left over issue. Will be fixed. I just made a loki compatible kernel as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Ill make it work..I know kernels better than roming. On that note, anyone thats ok using Odin and is on hangouts and is willing to test the loki kernel should hit me up. Theres a chance it wont work and you'll boot into odin instead but trust me I can fix that.

My hangouts = surge1223@gmail.com

Downloaded to computer.

Verified MD5

Copied ROM to ExtSD

Booted into SafeStrap and Deleted Slot 1

Recreated Slot 1 with default settings & bumped up data partition 100 or so

Ran Aroma Installer and picked options desired

Picked MJ7 module as that is the build I'm on.

Proceeded through Aroma installer with no issues.

Attempting to boot into BajaROM and I'm stuck at a black - blank screen after the safestrap boot screen proceeds to boot ROM.

2-battery pulls and still same... sits on black screen doing nothing for 10 to 15 minutes.

Any advice?

Thanks

The fc on the telephone process was resolved, but as I'm slowly getting into relogging into al my apps im getting com.google.process.gapps fc issue. anyone else or anyone know of suggestions to solve that?

Reggie this orange Baja theme is wicked sweeeeeet. If only there was a Orange n Green ;) Smooth ROM though still digging it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] evolishesh:
You need to update to mk2. I had the same issue while trying to install HD rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
I got it resolved without updating to MK2. I should have just went with the original directions in the OP and ignored the confusing part in Aroma. Not sure why there are MJ7 modules option there as those are the ones I always have to use on other ROMs, beings I'm MJ7 with HyperDrive installed to stock side and had to flash MJ7 Modules with it's install separate .zip.

Anyhoo, Here's what I did. Re-wiped and started fresh, but this time chose the MK2 modules in Aroma. Rom booted up fine but no wi-fi. I went back into SS recovery and flashed my normal MJ7 .zip module and rebooted. I now have working wi-fi and this Rom seems fine thus far.

Hope this helps someone else in my situation. Kinda confusing, I know :silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bajasur:
Glad you got it fixed!

We will work on making aroma more detailed and less confusing in the next build.

Thanks for the input :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
The reason I haven't been responding is because im fixing a bunch of issues and making it more friendly. We wanted to get the initial release out so that while im fixing things if any other urgent problems come up I can fix them all at once. So the first change log is going to be long...lol

Rom running smoove since the install. Minor request though. Can we get a tether toggle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
This is actually already built in but requires you to dirty flash once after a full wipe install. I fixed this and the aroma app dependencies in the new build along with 26 scrolling toggles instead of 10. Reggies base theme is also added among many other things. I havent posted it yet (minor busybox issue, plus I want to make sure its stable :))

dirty flash went well, I did have to update SU binaries and do safestrap recovery install again once the rom booted up. I am getting that security policy update notification. I don't remember what I need to freeze off to stop it. Looks like I need to edit the build.prop file again as its not remembering my wifi password.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ryukouki:
Well, I got off the MJ7 train and made the jump to NC5, and looks like BajaROM booted, so I'm going in the right direction. :) Thanks [MENTION=3882268]decaturbob[/MENTION] for your tips along the way to keep me grounded! And of course, thanks [MENTION=4939386]Surge1223[/MENTION] for your work on both the NC5 upgrade guide and this. I'm loving the lock screen wallpaper. :)

EDIT: Uh oh! I seem to be in a bit of a problem lol. I got all my stuff back online, but the bloat is still around. :( I still see the Verizon/Samsung stuff. Did I dun goof? :D And how could I fix that in future?

EDIT 2: Figured it all out. Wifi works, everything looks stellar. Debloated the phone with OneClick Debloater, hey look my phone is fast again! ^_^
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Yeah i noticed I must've missed some bloatware, I ran this script and removed it, (a lot of them were already removed by me, but I added them to the list just to make sure). You can either chmod 755 the script ive quoted below (i saved it as "vzsucks.sh" and run it in terminal or you can manually go find files. I've listed five below that I know I forgot to delete. The thing about the build.prop edit for WiFi is that it only applies for people who upgraded from MK2 & MJ7. I might just change it by default though based on the number of SS users vs Loki users we have.

Holy crap! After a few fun hours of messing with the Xposed frameworks and Wanam, I finally have a phone that feels like it belongs to me. The Wifi and 4G signal is through the roof, much better than what it was before back on 4.3, and it's amazingly fast. I love the black and white theme too. Definitely a nerve wracking process getting it to 4.4.2, but it was really worth it. I don't even have any gripes about it. Which is the first, because every single ROM usually had some kind of problem that I just didn't know how to fix. :victory:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zmedhaug:
i tried to flash this rom... flashed a hundred roms but as of six months ago i have smoked my MDK phone and am on safestrap 3.72 now. I flashed this and it was a blue screen with green and yellow lines at boot. someone else has reported having this problem also. I wish there was a Safestrap install this rom for dummies section. i have 6 tabs open trying to piece this all together to flash this rom. so i had to odin back to stock re root and now i am trying for a second time.does anyone have any advice? i am on Mk2 bootloader. do i just flash the rom? do i flash the modules? do i need to flash a custom kernel? if so recommend one? help out a safestrap brother here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
you need to follow surges method and get his NC5 rooted deox rom installed first along with the odin stuff, safestrap, etc. After you can boot into ok, dont worry about setting it up except for getting safestrap recovery installed, then go into safestrap install bajarom....but you have to do surges method first.

make checklist as the steps can not deviate or you will have to start over. Staying with mk2 bootloader is not a bad thing at this time.

I don't have a lot of faith in my command line...emulator skills....I do have a silly question, could I just use like ESFIle explorer and delete the SPDClient.apk from the /system/priv-app? or is there some type of uninstall that happens?

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

one last thing. when i first booted this rom in the settings menu it had the 4 tabs at the top like MK2 and i really liked that. second time i booted it said updating applications and changed to the long list settings menu. not a deal breaker but did something change? i didnt flash anything it just did it.

second the xposed installer in baja custom settings just force closes. is that normal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
In settings, press the menu soft key and then you can switch back to tabs. Also, on the first build xposed fc's but on 2.2 it should work fine...actually on the upcoming build weve completely redone the baja settings + fixed the baja toggle and also fixed the 5x6 launcher...but more on that later
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zmedhaug:
thanks surge. i checked the OP again and the only download i see is version 2. not 2.2. also i feel really dumb for asking about the settings view and all i had to do was click menu lol.

some advice. if you delete csc.apk in system>private app it fixes a few things. it fixes the force closes on android.phone twice at the beginning and the mms fails (only sometimes they fail)

---------- Post added at 02:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 AM ----------

I am sorry surge I left something out. To stop the force closes on start up and reduce some lag I deleted csc.apk in system》private app AND renamed the csc file in system to csc.bak
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
I dont remember including an init.d script to optimize dalvik-vm on boot but thats what generally causes it. Thats also why wiping dalvik-cache will cause this to happen 100% of the time.

Actually this is the very first time ive had any involvement with anything theme related lol. Reggie made the theme, I liked it so much that I had to make it default on Baja kk. In all honestly I dont look at vrtheme as complex thing at all, its much easier to think of how to accomplish this if you think of .apk's as .zip files instead. So vrtheme backs up all apks its about to theme unzips the apks and adds/edits the files before rezipping them back up. So it does edit the apk, but doesnt have to resign it.

Actually this all could be done without even unzipping the apks at all, in fact could prob he done to a live device. The zip binary allows you to edit .zip files without unzipping them, and if not then someone could compile the p7zip for arm since its open source. But I guess we'll save that method for a rainy day lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
cant wait to have some themes available, hopefully that will resolve the dialer problem with no visible numbers.

Really liking this rom so far. Not the biggest fan of the 6x5 app drawer as my fat thumbs keep missing, but other than that running smooth so far. What has impressed me the most is the signal. I'm getting 4g at my work in places I've never gotten 4g before (cinderblock fortress) on the MJ7 radio (i've had 4g dropout on both NC radios on all roms). I'm Loki'd MDK with Ktoonsez kernel.

I feel like a dope...

...but after flashing this rom, I keep rebooting back into a "laggy" stock rom. I performed Surge's upgrade to NC5 from MK2 last week and it worked flawlessly. To flash BajaRom 2.2 I did the following:

1.Deleted and recreated Rom Slot 1 in Safestrap 3.72

2.Mounted Rom Slot 1 and unchecked cache (system and data were already unchecked)

3.Installed BajaRom 2.2 into Rom Slot 1

4.When it showed "Successful", I hit "Finish" (Reboot button was checked) and phone rebooted...

...just not in BajaRom, but back into Surge's stock NC5, which is in my stock slot on SafeStrap. I rebooted into recovery to confirm that RomSlot 1 was active, and it was. Rebooted system, and still on stock, though very laggy. I am confused....pleas help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zmedhaug:
From what I understand if you read the OP over at safe strap it says there's not any rom slot support so just flash baja on stock slot

Pulled battery, went into manual recovery and attempted to install from sd card, and got message "install sd card"...what do I do?????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Had you deleted that ROM Slot you created in SS 3.72 first? These are explicit instructions I know in Surge's Upgrade/Downgrade thread for the usage of this sorta alpha SS 3.72 we are using to accomplish these KK roms on our Verizon phones. That I suppose could be of a problem. You might have to start the Downgrade/Upgrade over again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
I offered no advice, I made a statement. Did you follow surges method? sounds like you didn't...

You have to start the process over. Double check to be sure your extsd card is good, this could be a coincidence

I hear you, but I can't get the phone to boot up in order to downgrade/upgrade, or recognize the sd card.
