[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reliant_turbo:
I flashed 39.1 last night and everything worked. Even mms. Then I started fiddling around uninstalling things that I didn't use and I think I went one step too far uninstalling 3min battery settings. When I rebooted, android.ui (or something like that) would continually crash and I couldn't do anything.

So I wiped everything but the sd card and flashed 39.1, then the s5 nk2 test patch, the signal bar fix and then gigilies nc2 wifi fix. Then rebooted system and everything works..... but not mms now.

Hangouts does work to send mms but I liked the stock interface more.

On my initial flash where mms worked, I initially wiped everything and odined back to 100% stock nc5 using surges emergency full wipe flash and pit file for nc5.

Now when I try to send a mms via the stock app it says "invalid address entered".

Is the app messing up the phone number or is it seeking a wrong Verizon network address to send mms stuff?

In the hangouts app, there are all kinds of network settings that can be messed with for sending sms and mms. Is there a way to edit the stock mms settings somehow to make this work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reliant_turbo:
i was searching around and looking to see if there were solutions elsewhere to the MMS issue in 39.1 and i came across this. ^^^^^^

i just tried chompsms and it works just fine to send sms.

now i didnt try to install the s5 messaging app via aroma like the quoted post, as it came baked into the 39.1 rom but i wonder if there is a flash patch or flash over messaging app that could be done to fix this?

i tried my original install method again of full wiping the S4, flashing in the order i found (rom, patch, signal patch, wifi fix), and i cant get back to the state where MMS is working like my first install.

I like chompsms better than hangouts though. :) glad i found that post.

is there a way to get the keyboard darker though?

thanks

With 39.1 and applying the patches in that order, is your GPS working ok by default?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reliant_turbo:
Hmmmmmm looks like there may be something else not working. Gps. ...

I tried it this morning. It was jumping around like when it's using wifi.

I am using a galaxy S4 4.4.2 with I545VRUFNC5 baseband and it's safestrap 3.72.

I search for more than 2 hrs but could not find any clue. So, here it is;

I installed Echoe 39.1 ROM and than installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip , jfltevzw-NC5-modules.zip and I545VRUFNC5_modem_apnhlos.zip. Wifi works and I can make calls but mobile data does not work. I can see the bars but no data.

In settings, location is set for high accuracy.

Any suggestion?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hightower24:
You need to flash the signal bar fix found in the OP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] meazz1:
I did flash the signal bar fix and that kind of greyed out the signal bar but still the mobile data did not work.

I really like the ROM and hoping there is something I am not doing someone can point out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
Try it without flashing the modem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] meazz1:
Will do.

Do I need to be on any other modem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hightower24:
Nope. You're already on nc5

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

You didn't flash the international nk2 patch from jrkruse
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] meazz1:
Correct me if I am wrong, I will reflash the ROM, install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip , jfltevzw-NC5-modules.zip (No modem).

I did not flash the NK2 patch, so I will do that also.

Do the installation needs to be in any order after the ROM installation? Do I still need the Signal bar fix to go with this?

Thanks for taking the time to answer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
This is what worked for me:

Flash rom

Flash NK2 patch

Flash modules

Flash SuperSU

Reboot

Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] meazz1:
Bro or Sis, I don't know what you are but your steps did the trick for me. Only thing I had to do was to install the wifi fix.

I really wanted to try this ROM out and your help is really appreciated.

Thanks again!

Why did you go back to 29?

I installed 39.1 last night, as per my post above, everything works except mms.

Any 3rd party mms app can do the job.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reliant_turbo:
because my GPS didnt work in 39.1 either.

i figured (wrongly of course) that an older version may have less hacks and may be better sorted.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hightower24:
I haven't had a chance to test the new release. I'm on 39.1 and have had no issues with gps. Chomp works great for sms/mms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
anyone tried that Chinese Lollipop Experiment ROM yet? i'm tempted...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reliant_turbo:
it looks way too bright.

if it was a huge departure from normal touchwiz then maybe... but bright touchwiz....naah.

and the wifi doesnt work.

about to flash 36.1.... cause i didnt see people complain about mms or gps. lol

Brian
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
im just desperate for some lollipop action, but i think im gonna wait until wifi works

or maybe by that point someone will have a more accessible leak, idk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reliant_turbo:
just tried riker147's method for flashing 36.1.

no mms. no gps.

i give up. going back to rooted and debloated nc5.

features are great for this rom series but i cant seem to get gps to work. mms i can chompsms just fine. oh well.

Brian
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
you could try hyperdrive, it kinda has a similar feature set and has the same things going for it, but its based off of verizon firmware so every build is (relatively) stable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hightower24:
Use the same method for 39.1. My GPS works fine on that build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reliant_turbo:
i wonder if i was wiping too much when coming from a clean odin reflash of NC5.

id do a full reinstall of NC5, root w/ towel root, install SELinux changer, Busybox, Safestrap 3.75 and reboot to safestrap.

then id wipe everything but the external SD card (cache, dalvik, data, system) and follow the installation method.

I wonder if i shouldnt have wiped system.

Brian
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hightower24:
When I wipe in safestrap, I don't go into the advance settings to wipe everything, I just use the default swipe to wipe. Then after flashing everything, I wipe dalvik and reboot. You can try it that way to see if you get the same problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reliant_turbo:
That may have been my Problem.

I saw a guide in the past few pages or so that said wipe everything but the external sd card.

So I did. There may be some system files that hang around after a flash that are needed For everything to Work.

I'm running hd rls20 right now. I'll be back later especially if some lollipop stuff gets more usable.

Random silence on calls

I am hoping someone could help with this problem I am having with 39.1. I am safestrapped on baseband NC2, and have retained stock kernels or modems when flashing 39.1. I am experiencing random loss of sound during phone calls; I could be having a perfectly normal conversation, hang up and make another call and not be able to hear the other person, nor can they hear me. The only remedy I have found is to reboot, which seems to temporarily fix the problem, but it then recurs. Any suggestions from anyone? JDS suggested that I might want to flash an NC5 or newer modem, but having never done so, I do not know where to get one and whether that is even possible on safestrap. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I have been a member of this community for a while and 90% of what I know is from reading . this was from a google search. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2720163 all you have to do is grab the flashable module and flash it you will be fine.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kprice1658:
I have been on 29.1 for 4 months and never looked back - best/stable S4 rom - use to flash a different rom every week. Decided to try 39.1 and install went perfect.

Since this will be my DD, I would like to do some tweaking. For example, I would like to have the 5x6 launcher mod. I read a post few pages back about extracting needed files from v39 and then using root explorer to replace.

I saw another post about using aroma installer, but I thought that was just for v39.

I have v39 all extracted on my local drive, but not sure how to determine what files are what. Is there a listing somewhere or you guys just know them from playing around?

From what I understand, I would just rename the existing file, copy the new one in (once I figure out which file I need), change permissions and reboot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hightower24:
I used v39 to add some things after installing 39.1. Right after flashing 39.1, I flashed 39 to get the 5x5 launcher, boot sound and animation. When you do that, instead of installing rom in Aroma, use the install mod option. Find what you want and install. After each install, don't click reboot. You have to repeat that for each mod. When you're done with all that, don't reboot yet as you have to flash the remaining modules (if you're going through a fresh install) or you'll have to do a full wipe before rebooting for the launcher to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kprice1658:
Is there a reboot between flashing 39.1 and 39? I've been using it for a couple days, so I need to start fresh, or start with 39 on what I have?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hightower24:
Flash in this order:

Go to wipe, swipe default wipe

Flash V39.1

Flash V39 - pick your mod, don't reboot

Re-flash v39 for each mod and repeat above step

Flash modules, supersu.zip

Wipe dalvik

Reboot

I have always found the battery life to be pretty solid on echoe. I've never been on any of the others long enough to make a comparison.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
If it's what happened to mine, the charger cable is degraded from wear and tear. Swap in another cable and see if it charges normally. If you have the KToonsez kernel, go to KTweaker > Tools > Charging Current to verify the bad cable as well as the new one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
I agree with the others above. Battery life was always pretty good on Echoe ROMs especially compared to the other one I think you refer to. I've since moved on to Empty Galaxy for a couple months now and can't speak to this latest Echoe 39 build.

SCH-i545 / MDK

Clean flashed 29 (ktoonsez's kernel. followed by Loki, Super SU, wipe dalvik/Cache, Signal Bar Fix, Super SU.

In Aroma I selected both times to have No boot sound.

First boot I heard the Samsung boot sound.

What did I do wrong?

Is there someplace like Xposed that I can get rid of boot sound after the fact?

Also, stuck on boot screen.

ETA: pulled battery. Boot was cycling between boot screen and "Android is upgrading". Then between Boot screen and set up wizard. Phone was really getting hot. Pulled battery again. Booted thru boot screen and landed on set up wizard. before I got finished typing last sentence, it went back to boot screen.

ETA: battery pull>reboot into TWRP. full wipe> reinstalled 29 with AEL kernel, added loki, wiped Dalvik/Cashe, flashed Super SU and botted all the way to setup wizard.

Boot sound heard EVEN THO no sound selected in Aroma.

ALSO, when DIALER is selected, receiving error message "UNFORTUNATELY CONTACTS HAS STOPPED".

I tried a fix, I found on this thread, of adding a SecContacts.apk, to the SYSTEM>PRIV APPS folder, with no luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] meazz1:
=======================

From Post#4620

Correct me if I am wrong, I will reflash the ROM, install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip , jfltevzw-NC5-modules.zip (No modem).

I did not flash the NK2 patch, so I will do that also.

Do the installation needs to be in any order after the ROM installation? Do I still need the Signal bar fix to go with this?

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

This is what worked for me:

Flash rom

Flash NK2 patch

Flash modules

Flash SuperSU

Reboot

Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pizza_pablo:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pizza_pablo:
THANKS, but, that's what I did, but now I'm stuck on the SAMSUNG / CUSTOM (with padlock) screen.

I tried battery pull and simultaneous Vol Up, Home & Power, to get into TWRP, but will only go back to the SAMSUNG / CUSTOM (with padlock) screen and no further.

Help.

ETA: finally got back into TWRP. I had to hold HOME first, then VOL UP then POWER.

Will be starting the process all over again.....

ETA#2: OK, I think I figured what I did wrong to cause the stuck on SAMSUNG / CUSTOM (with padlock) screen. I did not go thru Aroma, prior to backing out of install and flashing LOKI. However, I didn't notice a no OS warning, either, like I did, this time, when I tried to do the same thing.

It just booted and went to the SETUP Wizard. Wahoo!

I will let it sit for 10 minutes, prior to going on. Lunch break!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pizza_pablo:
OK, whew. Its up and running, BUT.... selecting DIALER still results in "UNFORTUNATELY, CONTACTS HAS STOPPED". GRRR!!!

Also, event tho I selected no boot sound, in Aroma, there is indeed a boot sound played.

ETA: I tried the following: clearing cache partition and Dalvik, clearing data on CONTACTS and PHONE apps, disabling CONTACT STORAGE-rebooting-enabling CONTACT STORAGE-rebooting, and selecting DIALER while in SAFE MODE, all with no luck. When DIALER is selected I see a black screen and then the error message "UNFORTUNATELY, CONTACTS HAS STOPPED".

Another fix is supposed to be disabling GOOGLE +, but I do not have that app.

I can dial out in the CONTACTS app, but don't know how to dial a number, that is not in CONTACTS, without the DIALER app.

During install, in Aroma, I selected the AEL kernel and stock S4 everything else.
