Me too my friend ? looking into it ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] epicroot:
Tsk...tsk you should have flashed a su.zip after flashing the rom.

You can try downloading superuser from the play store and see if it works. Your phone may still have the binarys for superuser on it just missing the app..

If that doesn't work you need to Odin a pretty rooted 4.4.2 rom and start over

Two random reboots no idea the reason why... besides that the only issue I've had is my gps won't lock for diddly squat...

This rom rocks and I'll be running it for a while... Any suggestions on gps??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Others have mentioned flashing a stock rom to lock gps then re flashing Echoe worked but not sure I haven't had a problem with gps so I haven't tried. As for the reboots Idk had 1 a week ago but not since and it may have been due to something I was messing with ? lol

Didn't see anything in the OP. When flashing to safestrap, do I need to flash the modules after the rom like in hyperdrive? Also, is there a special rom download for safestrap? Or is it just the one in the OP?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MonkeyTime:
Ok, here we go!

Finally read thru the entire thread to catch up and will be flashing this tonight and really excited!

Couple of questions I haven't seen yet I'd like to ask before I start......

It's it safe to assume all of the kernels are Knox free and Sellinex permissive as-is? If not, does anyone know which are?

I've read so many answers telling people to pick a system ui with og battery mod, when I'm in Aroma, do the options list which include it? This one may be self explanatory once in it, but I haven't had a need to play with Aroma much to this point.

Now off to upgrade TWRP in between meetings! [emoji4]

If you're on MDK boobloader you can flash almost any 4.2,4.3 or 4.4 rom cm, ge, or tw.

Any other boobloader after MDK you need ss and con only run tw roms.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Ok let's see as for the kernels I added loki in aroma for all kernels so they all work. The AEL kernel seems OK for some and a few said it a few minutes to attain 4g signal. If you have that issue try a different kernel. As for the SystemUI’s the stock ones have issues lol they are marked in aroma just select one with OG BatteryMod and you can change battery icon by tapping it 3 times to choose from over 70 different icon types. Hope this helps you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lokerman:
Loaded this ROM yesterday, love it!

I've tried a bunch of ROM's now, and this one is by far my favorite (this latest version I mean). I tried an earlier one, but moved on before too long.

This time, I LOVE IT!!!! Won't be changing anything now for a while, unless of course there's an update for this ROM. But I'm good indefinitely with this bad boy!!!

Thank you Developer!

From what I understand you have 2 slots. 1 for base and 1 for the rom you want to run. It has something to do with the kernel. the unlocked MDK boobloader uses a loki-doki patch for the kernel. I believe it creates space to run the ss recovery.

Weird ! What process did you use? Did you try wiping cache and data through app manager?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MonkeyTime:
Not exactly what I was asking but I really appreciate the response.

I did find the thread for the AEL kernel and it does have SELinux set as permissive so that's a great start.

I was wondering how I can tell which SystemUI's have the OG BatteryMod included. Is there a description to read?

I'm upgraded on the recovery side to the latest TWRP and downloading this ROM now, will be loading tonight when I get home and just like to investigate things before I jump (tends to keep me out of trouble).

Thanks again and looking forward to this tonight :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Out of all the SystemUI choices, only one is "OG Battery Mod." The others are stock KK, stock Samsung, etc. In that section just pick OG Battery Mod.

ETA: Thanks for reading the thread and preparing your phone prior to flashing. You saved yourself headaches, and should have a much more enjoyable experience because of it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MonkeyTime:
Thanks, wasn't sure if I had to look for it or if it was actually labeled "OG Battery Mod".

Been running v20.3 for 4 days with KT Kernel, and been running really solid. Strange thing happened. just wondering if it was a one time write off or something others have seen.

I was driving connected to my Bluetooth I tried to make an outgoing call, and it appeared to be working ringing etc. but no audio. So thought it was the car took it off Bluetooth and tried to make the same call. Nothing no ringing no audio just a connected screen. Hung up and the wife called back same thing no audio I couldn't hear her and she couldn't hear me. Reboot and all is ok. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] locofocos:
I've been having some GPS troubles. When I open GPS Status, I can get an accurate lock fairly quickly. I have a Tasker script which saves my GPS location, and that script saves my location accurately as well. When I use Maps to navigate, it has no problems with GPS once I'm navigating. However, it seems to only use network location when I'm viewing the map (browsing locations, etc). If I turn on navigation when it's only using network location, it will very quickly find my proper location with GPS. This means it will have the wrong starting location when calculating route times, but then quickly move to the proper location when I choose to start navigating.

Is this the same problem others are having?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Weird ? First time hearing this happen. Hasn't happened to me. Anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
I'm just curious. I see mention in the title of SS compatibility yet the OP or following post(s) don't seem to mention things like option for the required "Stock Kernel" to use for SS users, modules, ect... What build of Android a SS'er needs to be on, ect...

I am currently on Surge's Pre-rooted NC5 Rom with NC2 bootloader.

Can I flash this ROM into "Stock" with SS 3.72 version?

Any particular module or what not I need to get full functions - wifi - bluetooth - gps up and running?

Thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
My apologies if I confused you. My intent is to notify people that the rom has been reported by a few that it works on the new ss method. I have little knowledge of it as I have an MDK bootloader and never used ss. I assume people asking about ss are familiar with the process more than I because they have to use it and I don't. I just try to share what information I have. I will edit op with a link for the ss update process. ? As for your question I'm not sure about the modules but maybe someone else can answer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Op updated with a link for more help for SS users. ? Hope that helps. I put it in between install instructions and download link ?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
So tell me what your current setup is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
NC2 Bootloader

NC5 pre-rooted per Surge's thread in the "General" forum

SS 3.72v originally made for AT&T but working for verizon and per Surge's instructions to come from MJ7/MK2 which I was previously on.

Nothing installed to SS slots, I would prefer flashing to replace the STOCK - safe side to conserve space. Again, currently NC5-rooted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scttduk:
Running v20.3 with the KT kernel, I've experienced a similar issue. Making a call, the phone starts counting like I'm on a call, only no audio (no dial-tone, no ringing) and I've received a call and picked up only I can't hear anyone on the line (again phone says I'm connected).

Reboot fixed the problem. This is not a re-occurring problem for me, but it has happened on two occasions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
OK so far sounds right and I agree use stock slot. Have you already made your backup in SS and ready to try ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
How many slots are there?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
I still have to make a Nandroid. Will proceed to if this sounds possible. :angel:

I don't have any active slots since I prefer just running one ROM in stock to conserve space. I believe there are 3 or 4 slots available.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
OK try the nandroid gonna need it anyway lol I'm doing some research so let me know what happened?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Nandroid initiated.... Lol :laugh:

---------- Post added at 12:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

I "think" this is going to come down to if this ROM offers a "Stock NC5 based kernel" in order to work for SS.

SS doesn't permit any other kernels to be used as far as I know unless something has changed with SS v3.72 AT&T one. :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
I agree. A stock kernel is not available at this time nor an option to not flash a kernel but I'm working on that now. Anyway to flash the stock kernel after the rom ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
I suppose that would be possible but I'm not aware of a stock NC5 kernel out in the wild anywhere yet, although I could have missed it somewhere in possibly Gigllioeos thread :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MonkeyTime:
Ok, been on this for 1/2 a day and really loving it!

I'm not fully set up yet, so I can't judge battery, and I had to switch back to KT kernel because of the delay in picking up data after a reboot, but everything else is flying!

Now to dig into the options I'm missing Hyperdrive and make this thing mine!

I read a few pages back that people were having troubles getting the torch widget into the pull down, did anyone figure that out?

Thanks so much for a great ROM, looking forward to putting this thing thru it's paces~
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Nothing yet on the torch widget ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Wow, don't know what happened, but my phone farted, and everything went crazy. All my settings reverted back to stock, some of my apps were gone, and my home button wouldn't work. I went to back up the apps I had, and Titanium told me my phone's ID had changed. I ended up restoring a backup for now, and I'll try re-installing Echoe when I get a chance, but man was that weird.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Very weird never heard of that happening ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Fixed the first problem. Ok using safestrap I'm on stock 4.3 in order to flash this do I use the same methods I would when I use safestrap or am I going to have to do something different cause I'm upgrading? ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
I added the option to not flash a kernel during installation so ss users won't have to reflash a stock kernel :) will be in the next update :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
OK little more details please? Your currently on a ss 4.3 ROM correct ? Have you checked the threads on doing the upgrade for ss users ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Yea I'm on mdk and I've checked the threads. Just want to double check and make sure I know what I'm doing. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Are you aware if I chose not to flash a kernel which I need to do obviously since SS doesn't allow for "Custom" kernels other than stock, will I retain my current NC5 kernel via Surge's Pre-rooted NC5 Rom which I'm on now? And if so, are there any modules for NC5 as needed in the past Android versions when flashing a ROM via SS to enable wifi, GPS, ect... to work? :confused:

One last question: Does it matter that I'm on the NC2 Bootloader in any of this?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Hold on confused here you have MDK bootloader ? Rooted and unlocked?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Yea using safestrap. The only Rom I've used so far is hyperdrive. I'm just wanting to know the steps I need to take if I was to flash this Rom cause I didn't want to mess up if I'm upgrading to kit kat. I'm still on 4.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Why would you use safestrap if you're on mdk?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
I expect the kernel to be untouched so you should still have the NC5 kernel. As for modules idk till tested. As for bootloader it should be fine just choose new bootloader in aroma. I will have in install procedure when ready.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Correct if on mdk you don't need ss
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
If you're on MDK bootloader you should not be on safe strap you should have the latest twrp or philz's recovery installed. Then you just make sure to select old bootloader in aroma. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Sorry. Mk2. Just waking up. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
OK that makes a difference lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
Have you read gigilies or Surge's thread on updating?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Yea and I was just wanting to verify this is what I had to do. I'm sooooo use to just using twrp. I've only used safestrap once and I really don't want to mess anything up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
I understand. I've never used ss but it can be confusing lol but yes you will need to update with one of those methods before flashing this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Thanks. Making sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Are there any non-MDK meaning SS users successfully running this ROM yet?

I would think not due to the kernel state currently requiring a choice of a "Custom" kernel as SS only works using a Stock Kernel.

If there are SS'ers on this ROM, my questions:

1) What Android build are you on? ex: NC2, NC5

2) What if any module did you have to flash in order to get wifi, ect... to work?

3) What is your bootloader? You can find out with "Phone Info" from Samsung on the play store if uncertain.

4) Did you use Giglieo's update to 4.4 or Surge's?

5) Which kernel did you choose in Aroma install?

Thanks...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Tried to install this with SS 3.72 over NC5 root after I backed it up and I was unable to use it. Every few seconds it would crash. I had to downgrade my phone to make it operational after installing this rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
That's what I suspected. Until the non-custom kernel issue is resolved, this will very likely not be workable with SS.

Then comes the module requirements... :eek:
