Yup - TWRP 2.7.0.1 or something - the most recent version I believe.

That's similar to what happened to me the first time I flashed it - some stuff was MIA. Second flash and everything was there. Maybe you'll take three to get it done? <shrug>

It is pretty once you have it, I wasn't sure at first but I do like it better than stock KitKat.

KT Tweaker App FC on NC5

KT Tweaker app on NC5 is FC for me. Deleted the two apps with Root Explorer, rebooted, then rebooted to recovery and flashed KT kernel again. Same issue. Works fine without the apps, but cannot tweak. Worked fine on on NC2 and a wide variety of 4.3.x ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckarrow2:
I did some browsing and it seems Samsung decided against it since ART is technically experimental. You can still get it using ASOP GE roms I believe but UMMV.

It's running fine for me, haven't had any issues with it when I changed profile and adjusted a few settings. I'm running the 4/19 kernel, not the newer 4/28 release.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tbcpn:
Yeah, damnedest thing. Was running fine on NC2 until yesterday when I flashed NC5 (clean install, as usual). Forgot to add that I also did a dirty re-flash of NC5 hoping that would help, but no go. Reckon when I'm real bored, I'll wipe and start over. Nice having (rooted) NC5 on both my S4 and Note 3. Life is good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DavidIanWarren:
So, I think I F'd up and updated my unlocked and now no longer rooted I545 (FNC5 now). I'd really like true KitKat, instead I have a Samsung'd up version... Is there any good option to get an alternate ROM on here???

There's an option in wanam for it but it doesn't work for me.

I think the one in wanam is for the actual persistent one that was on 4.3. The one we have now is a whole other monster.

Yep I believe it worked on 4.3, looks like this is just another PITA

Exactly - the settings in WIfi/Advanced is for that notification. If it's off, the notification does not show.

I've been having intermittent connectivity issues, I think since I installed the KitKat leak/NC2 modem, and now on NC5/NC5 modem as well. Symptoms are not switching between Wi-Fi/4G smoothly, loosing connectivity even though Wi-Fi looks like it's connected w/a strong signal, having to go to airplane mode and back to connect.

I've tried re-flashing the NC5 modem, and I've always fully wiped between flashes. Beginning to wonder if the NC5 and NC2 modems just don't like me for some reason.

I've also applied the S5 theme and while it seems unlikely that could be the problem, I'm beginning to wonder if I need to wipe and re-install again and run w/just the NC5 ROM stock for a bit.

Is anyone else having any issues connectivity issues like this? Haven't seen any posts so it's feeling like a "just-me" issue at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 32BitWhore:
I had very similar issues on the NC2 leak and modem. I would drop network completely (no calls, sms, mms) but everything looked fine in the status bar. It was so bad for me that even airplane mode wouldn't fix it, only a reboot would. I thought I was crazy because nobody else had mentioned having any issues. I thought it might even be my SIM or an actual hardware issue. It got to the point where I ODIN back to bone stock and ran on 4.2 for a while waiting for NC5 for MDK to get released. I clean flashed NC5, activated it on the MDK modem, then flashed the NC5 modem and haven't had an issue since. Performance is great, and I've noticed SMS messages sending near instantly. I've never had that kind of performance before.

Maybe the ODIN cured whatever NC2 screwed up, but it seems to be working really well for me now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iwearthebelt:
Does anybody know if its OK to integrate system updates into the ROM using TB or will it cause problems? It caused issues for me when I was on 4.2.2. Just wondering if I'll have the same problems?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
I always say new builds deserve new apps!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Try a different kernel like the echo AEL kernel or Talexop kernel just make sure you flash loki doki zip after installing them
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iwearthebelt:
Thanks! Creating a backup now before I install the system updates into the ROM just in case.

EDIT: that didn't go good at all. Every app crashed & my phone froze. Definitely don't recommend trying it, especially without a backup.

Any idea why some people aren't having problems with the S5 theme on NC5 or NC2 and some are? I tried what you posted but the file wasn't showing in the directory. When I try to flash I lose the launcher,themes,battery mod and messaging. Tried several time but to no avail...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
The best way is to start fresh. Install rom dont choose either one of the modded launchers.reboot go through set up dont update any apps except google play services reboot to recovery install theme
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NiteQwill:
Google+

Anyone have problems opening Google+?

I press the icon to open it and it never opens. No FC, no freezing, just never opens...

I can mess with Google+ settings easily, though, such as photo upload, contact sync, etc. through Google Settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
In case it helps, more detail on what I did:

-Flash ROM, take only stock items, no launcher mod (but did install weather accidentally even though Jkruse said not to)

-Flash KT 4/19 kernel

-Reboot

-Add Google account, let apps update, including Google Play Services (Jkruse said to only update play services, but I let them all update)

-Flash S5 mod

-Reboot and found didn't have email or planner or stock launcher, only had easy launcher (maybe others missing, didn't look)

-Re-flashed S5 mod and all was well

Hope you can work it out.

---------- Post added at 09:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------

How do you just update play services? I couldn't figure out how to do that, once I log into play store it starts updating everything. Searching on Google play services in the store doesn't find anything.

Delete it and re download it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DV8:
Ok reflashed NC5 and unchecked everything and installed basic with nothing selected. Booted logged into Google only and then flashed the s5 theme and samething again. Going to see if flashing from the internal memory instead of from the SDCard will make a difference. I will also see if flashing a differenct kernal will make a difference. If that don't work then I will give up and have to live with NC2. I love the battery mods and the s5 messaging to much.

For those having problems with the NC5 and S5 theme here is what I did to get it to work.

I flashed the NC5 update not selecting any launchers or accuweather and then logged into my google account. I then rebooted into recovery and flashed the S5 theme and it installed fine and working great. Both of these files were on the internal card and not my sd card. Thanks to all that helped by responding to my multiple questions. Hope this helps others that were having problems.

I loaded NC5 and I cannot find the calendar widget. I have the app though. I looked through Aroma and did not see it there either. Does anyone why it would be missing from this build?

Also, why is it being recommended to downgrade to KT Kernel 4/19? My pin lock seems to work fine. Anyhow, I tried flashing the 4/19 kernel twice and both times my phone hung at the Verizon screen. I wonder if it had to do with the kernel I used being designated for 4.3 Jellybean or maybe it was just a bad download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Lock your screen then reboot there is a few seconds that you can swype and unlock screen before pin lock activates
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrsean:
Ok. I see the bug now. Is there a link to grab the proper version of KT 4/19? Also, please don't forget the calendar widget. That is a must have for me.

Thanks for the quick response and your great work on the builds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
This is, IMHO, better than the stock calendar widget (which I missed as well until I found this). Give it a shot - extremely customize-able and I wouldn't go back to the other one if it was available.

I am new to the S4 installing custom "stuff", but have done so on previous Nexus phones and tablets, so forgive me for what is probably some dumb questions. What is the MDK bootloader? When I first got the phone, the bootloader was locked. I take it it's now unlocked?

I had the phone rooted, but Odin'ed the NC5 zip file and miss my root (thought I wouldn't, but....). So I went looking and discovered this thread.

Any advice for a noob S4 would be much appreciated (without the slams ;)).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
MDK is the only version with a loki'ed work around to have access to the bootloader. It was never actually unlocked. Any other version besides the MDK has no access. Safestrap is available for versions after that but since you odined to NC5 your pretty much stuck with that for now. This ROM will only work with MDK.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] iwearthebelt:
MDK was the original bootloader that the S4 shipped with. That was the only version that was able to be loki'd (bypass the bootloader). Any update of the firmware since then has locked down the phone. Your best bet is to keep an eye on the SafeStrap thread for the S4. I don't think its working on the latest software version yet, but its a good place for you to start reading and you might possibly find a root method in there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theresin:
Anyone else run into any issues with the phone & contacts app? It was working great for 48 hours, but all of a sudden whenever I open the "phone" app it crashes, saying "unfortunately, contacts has stopped." I've tried clearing data, I've tried clearing the cache and fixing permissions - nothing. Strangely enough, if I click on the phone icon WITHIN the visual voicemail app, it calls the contact no problem.

I'm running NC5, with the S5 "theme" - no other mods, not even xposed. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts. Other than that, this has been a fantastic ROM - my battery life is better than it's been in a long time too.

Rebooted and flashed S5 again and things are good.

Oddly enough I was having problems with VVM. It didn't install even though I chose it in Aroma. I restored VVM from a Titanium backup and all seemed well, but it wouldn't let me select a voicemail to playback. It would receive them, and I could hear them by clicking "Play all unheard", but I couldn't replay them by choosing them in the list. So I pulled VVM from the main NC5 install zip and manually installed it. After that, all with VVM worked, but then I noticed the FC in the phone app. I didn't think the two were related.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I had to pull the VVM.apk from the rom zip and push it into system/app ... it's been running beautifully. I will admit however that I didn't run into any phone/contact issues until I installed VVM. It didn't happen immediately, more like 3 hours later (and I was able to make calls for those 3 hours).
