JKruse - does NC5 ROM have the SD card fix, or will I need to edit the XML - did that on the previous build, so it's no problem.

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

True, very true.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
It does
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
It contains SD card fix wife tethering fix extended reboot menu and dark contacts dialer and mms everything else is stock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Oh and some build.prop tweaks and feature.xml tweaks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
You got to love that wife tethering. Lol wifi tethering
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
LOL

I heard there were some new features in KitKat, but had no idea...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thunderwolf17:
Is there any way to get the stock contacts, dialer and mms? Thanks for your work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jtadeo:
just spent the last hour setting up the NC2 the way I want it only to find out that NC5 was just released... :rolleyes:

time to spend another productive hour on NC5 >.<

Can we get a camera app with the option to mute the shutter sound??

Thanks !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
I post a zip later on for the people that prefer them
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] HoosierDaddy2442:
Assuming sound mods will work with this? What about S5 theme zip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] heath2805:
Wife tethering?? lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
I flashed the NC5 ROM and the 4/19 KT kernel so the PIN lock screen will work.

I'm going to flash the S5 Transformation as well (seduced by the S5 toggles, new email and calendar, etc.).

Jkruse said he thought that the S5 transformation should be compatible w/NC5, but I wanted to ask, while all my apps are updating, if anyone has flashed the S5 transformation on NC5 yet, and if anything blew up. I don't mind going first if no one else has tried it yet (I'll take a nandroid before I do it).

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
You're too nice ;) Thanks. You're patchs probably weren't a cake walk either, so good job on those! Also on another note, I cant figure out 4-way reboot on KK and its driving me nuts! Any help/pointers you can give me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cchris81:
Has anyone noticed that when your viewing a contact, under the phone number it has a button for video call?? hmm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tbcpn:
Indeed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mochamoo:
Under About Phone at the bottom it says "Software Update". Should I be concerned? How do I make it go away :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Protibus:
Flashed the S5 transformation and running beautifully.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
Where do I find the S5 Transformation?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
I will customize this rom as time permits. This is by far the most stable 4.4.2 rom for verizon users.Everything seems to work. You can even send mms messages while on wifi
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NikolaiVolkov:
Very Stable, runs awesome, after using Titanium to get all my apps back the whole process to download, wipe, install and restore apps took less than a half hour and my phone looks just like it did coming from your other rom.

Will KT's 4.4.2 kernel work with this one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Yes but the pin lock screen may not work right
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
K's about to update ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
I figured he would
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] HoosierDaddy2442:
jrkruse - have any idea why this is happening?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eiddor:
So, I'm running a rooted JDQ39.I545VRUAMDK build with an unlocked bootloader and no other mods installed. Is this build something I can go to safely? Do I have to do a wipe since I'm going from a "stock" build already?

I need to get up to a newer version of Android to support my Jawbone.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alttwo:
As long as you have a custom recovery and flash correctly.. You should have no issues..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eiddor:
Thank you! Having not flashed a ROM in a couple of years (since my GNEX), I assume the process is still the same:

1) Boot into ClockworkMod Recover

2) Wipe cache/Dalvik cache

3) Install ROM

4) Reboot

Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alttwo:
Well, you want to make sure you make a backup first and foremost. After that clear data, cache, dalvik cache, and system. Then install and reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] eiddor:
Oh, so a wipe is required? I did my typical backup with TB, but I'll go through and move other stuff off to the SD as well.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Alttwo:
Yes full wipe is required. But also make sure you do a backup in recovery you can go back to in case the rom has an issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 13bgarli:
Awesome I've been waiting forever to do any updates! I've been on 4.2.2 (the original firmware) for forever and this feels so great! Only thing I've noticed is some random vibrations. Sometimes there's a lot of them, other times not so many. I'm going to wait till after I get everything downloaded again and let it sit before I come to any conclusions. Just something I noticed though.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
Awesome to hear. So far, the only thing I miss about from the international version is the blue-gray dialer. It's a real shame they haven't changed this fugly white interface on the Verizon version from 4.2.2 yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] factor0815:
A little help please

I am running Android 4.3 stock unrooted ver. I545VRUEMK2 Is it possible to root with this version?

How do i get CM onto my device. My previous phone was a GNexus and it was pretty easy for me to root and customize, but i understand that you have to have a recovery and bootloader installed at some point in this process. Any place I can get instructions on getting to the point where I

can flash this rom?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
If your stock 4.3 with no custom recovery you will not be able to use this rom. Your only custom recovery option is safestrap and this rom is not for safestrap users
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] factor0815:
Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I'll just have to wait it out for Verizon to release Kit Kat and take it from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Check out this thread You dont need to wait
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] avid.aria:
Is there a way to get mobile hot spot on this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Its on there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] egore93:
I think about 10 or so pages back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Protibus:
The only issue I have found after flashing the S5 transformation is with the conversation bubbles in Messaging not displaying correctly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Same, took a while to do the backup so I could flash the zip!

I did have an odd experience - I had to flash it twice. The first time when I booted up I didn't have email or SPlanner installed, and didn't have my notifications/Settings menus changed, etc. Looked like normal S4 everywhere.

Reflashed the S5 Theme zip and the second time it took. No idea why it went that way.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52261839&postcount=284

It's labeled as a theme, but it makes changes/additions that Jkruse felt fit better under "Transformation" than theme.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] elkay:
Did anyone have problems with delayed text messages on NC2? My friends just made me aware that my text messages incoming are sometimes delayed randomly up to 8 hours before I receive them. It's probably been like this the whole time but they just made me aware of it. Tested it and if I got a phone call it would "flush" them out and I'd get all the delayed ones. I tried the updated NC5 modem that was posted and same problem still. I flashed back to my 4.3 backup and the problem is instantly gone (leaving the NC5 modem in place).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Never saw that on NC2. So to confirm, you were getting texts 8 hours after sent, right?

Might as well update to NC5, as now way of knowing if that was an intermittent bug on NC2 that was fixed in NC5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] elkay:
They varied. Sometimes it was instant. Sometimes it was an hour. The last straw was ones that a friend sent at 10:47PM last night and I got them at 7:05AM this morning after hitting snooze on the phone for an hour.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Ouch! Definitely try NC5 - I've never seen any text delays on either, but NC5 is release code, and NC2 was not.

Now - on to other cool stuff....drum roll....

Screen mirroring works! :) Tah-dah! (I didn't do anything to make it work, but it seems like a good Tah-Dah moment.) Just tried it out w/a Sony TV we have, and it connects and seems to work flawlessly, and performs very well on my network. I just looked at application screens, didn't try video yet, but before with JB it would disconnect a few moments after I connected. Nice to see that working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Venable:
Apologies for what is almost certainly a dumb question, but what is the recommended best practice for flashing a new modem when flashing this ROM?

I am on MDK with an unlocked bootloader and AFAIK have not altered the modem / radio. From reading the modems thread it sounds like I should not do anything. Is this correct?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] radpp16:
What is a "pre-rooted" NC5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
It currently isn't out in the wild yet but mention has been made of it soon to come.

Surge already rooted and released the leaked NC2 so this will be the Official KitKat release NC5 with root. :cyclops:

Again, not out yet as of now so don't go searching, lol :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] radpp16:
They are not dependent on each other. I just went from mj7 baseband to fnc2 to fnc5 without any issues. Flash the modem after you got the rom running. I always do a wipe cache and dalvik because i am paranoid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FordNate:
id like to report that after about 6 12oz curls phone running flawless, like expected. suggestion n maybe its the ocd in me coming out can we get a system or start something where maybe post 3 is kept up by the OP for mods and themes available? i know im genius right:p... but loving the GalaxyKat provided
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] radpp16:
So what is jkruse vzw nc5 4 29 15.zip release considered? Vs "pre-rooted"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chetqwerty:
Oh this is so not true!!! my initial install of the NC2 ROM was totally dependant on what modem i was coming from. jkruse can back me up on that, look at our dialog from last Saturday, he hooked me up getting the right order. Jkruse, I'm about to flash NC5, do you think I'm going to have to keep a nonholo mdk on my sd just in case i get the beeping again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] egore93:
Did you flash the S5 mms zip? If so you need to turn off delayed sending in messaging. Its on by default.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] radpp16:
mdk baseband on nc2. Works great. I flash a new baseband every few days to see if there is any effect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ckarrow2:
Thanks for this!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] egore93:
It was causing me the same problem then I found that setting and it stopped?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chetqwerty:
oh yes after the ROM is in and running you can swap around radios. Sorry maybe i misunderstood the question, i am saying i couldn't get NC2 into my phone without following a certain radio installation order.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crossen0:
Does anyone else experience an unresponsive back button sometimes when in stock messaging? I can still drag down the notification bar but the back button has some serious lag time. It occurs randomly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] urcboss07:
Great rom, where can I get stock kernel from nc5 build. I just don't like kt kernel. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Go Here

Flash this

I545VRUFNC5_modem.zip

MD5:0d13c6d3c4a44a9bfc3be117d3419f18

DO NOT FLASH THIS ONE!!!!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
You have to use a modded kernel or you will have no wifi
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theresin:
Thanks for all the hard work, to both of you. NC5 is running great so far - so glad I stuck with the MDK bootloader all these months.

I did flash the S5 "Theme" and had a few questions ... the MMS chat bubbles all look identical (inbound and outbound) ... is there a way to fix that? I tried changing the settings, but they all appear the same (bubbles have light blue outline, dark grey background),

I'm sure I could nuke the MMS.apk app and go back to the OG 4.2.2 one, but thought i'd ask first.

Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
It is this way because the white text doesnt show well on the stock bubbles.

Search back in this thread I posted the stock S5 MMS that is not dark and the bubbles are right
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
I didn't follow your discussions with Jkruse, but I have never seen a ROM/baseband flashing order dependence, either ROM requiring baseband first, or vice-versa. I've flashed S4 baseband updates before and after the S4 ROMs they were released with, same with Galaxy Nexus, Droid 2, and OG Droid before that. The flashing order you were told to follow were most likely related to an unusual state your phone had gotten into.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
So I flashed the S5 theme, looks great, except I have this really odd looking battery icon? Round grey thing with green in the middle and it doesn't seem to represent the battery level at all. How can I get rid of this and go back to the regular battery icon without messing up the S5 theme?

EDIT: DUH, nevermind. I found that OG Battery Mod thing!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theresin:
I knew I should have looked further back before asking! Thanks mate .. everything is fine and dandy now!

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

It took me a little bit to figure that one out too ... The default battery icon is strange, and didn't seem to change while draining/charging. Glad I wasn't alone on this one!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Jkruse, I don't think you answered this...if we flash the og battery mod zip after flashing the S5 Theme zip, are other parts of the S5 effects changed, aside from the battery icon due to the included system UI?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] urcboss07:
Interesting, I was on nc2 build and it had stock kernel on and wifi worked fine without installing modded kt kernel. So when I upgrade to newer build nc5, it must be used with kt kernel, right? Is nc5 build Verizon leak one? I think kt kernel has slower 4G lte speed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
The OG battery mod is included in the S5 theme just click on the og battery icon in the app drawer and change your battery icon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
If you were running my NC2 build you were running a modified stock kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cookie_puss:
Is there a way to get rid of the My Magazine page??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crossen0:
Jkruse, could you possibly port the s5 keyboard over? I've been itching to try it and haven't been successful in getting any to work that I've found. And thank you again for all your awesome work. You and Surge make owning this phone a lot more fun.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
In launcher settings uncheck my magazine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trmiv:
Is the 4G icon always being there even on wifi a kitkat thing or is there some app doing it like before? I already got rid of that caller id thing but that didn't do anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jds3118:
I believe it's a Kitkat thing ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jpen:
Probably a stupid question, but I saw you posted the S5 mms zip quite a few pages back, then I saw the S5 theme after. Does the S5 theme have the S5 mms included or am I suppose to flash both?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
The dark themed S5 is included
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] halloween240:
Flashing this now, thanks for the quick and awesome work jrkruse!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
Phone was frozen this morning after charging it overnight. Looking into the cause. Hopefully it's just an app or I've heard internet usage can cause it so I'm disabling automatic updates from the Play Store (I usually do anyway). Or possibly my LED/notification manager, Light Flow, maintaining the steady green LED when charged.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DV8:
I installed the new update and then installed the s5 update and I keep getting something called easy launcher instead of the tw launcher and I can't get back to the standard tw launcher as a default. Any ideas? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] beho86:
I just flashed the NC5 Rom and did not make any modifications, but for some reason MMS is not being sent just shows bending. I switched between 4G and WiFi , still was not sent. What am I doing wrong?

Also, What is the message center I have this number in it (+19037029920) that's not my phone number
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Venable:
Awesome, thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Thanks....totally missed the OG Battery icon in the app drawer. Very nice.

---------- Post added at 08:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 AM ----------

I believe someone said something about turning off delayed sending in the Messaging app, but can't remember if that was an S5 Messaging app issue, or in the NC5 stock setup. In any case, until someone else responds you could try looking for that setting in the Messaging app.

---------- Post added at 08:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 AM ----------

I've noticed one thing - the Wanam option to disable exchange email security doesn't appear to work on NC5 w/the S5 email/splanner update. I know the Wanam exchange security disable option worked on stock NC2 email, and continued to work after installing S5 email over S4 NC2 email after first setting up the account w/the NC2 S4 email app. So it appears that something in the updated S5 exchange email is stopping the Wanam option from working if you try to use it to set up an exchange email account.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] beho86:
The delay option is only in the S5 Messaging App, not S4. I am not sure what is causing that!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thedoman:
+1. Any one know a fix for this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
:confused: Jkruse's NC5 here is pre-rooted but you have to be on the MDK BootLoader as stated in the OP to use it.

Sorry if I've added confusion in this thread regarding the pre-rooted Surge is working on will be for those stuck on later BootLoaders and using SafeStrap Recovery - "I believe" :) Totally different monster!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] urcboss07:
Yep, your modified kernel in nc2 works great, especially data speed. Do you still have your kernel? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Its a problem with 4.4.2 TW Roms. Some people have the problem and some people dont. It happened to me on the NC2 build but is fine so far on NC5 for me. Maybe try a different kernel. Some people in other threads have said disabling the help text from lock screen works. If you continue to have problems PM and I will have you try some things
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Did you have the modded launcher installed when you installed the rom?

If not you might try reinstalling the S5 Theme
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] halloween240:
Been a while since I have been on a Touchwiz rom, Is there a way to get ride of the ongoing wifi notification on these newer builds? The old zip file to remove it doesn't work anymore

Oy, I found how out how to disable it in the advanced wifi settings.. sorry for the dumb question.. MDK (the last time I was on touchwiz) didn't have that option..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
NC5 Original APK's

For those of you requesting these here are some flashable zips

Original SecContacts SecPhone and SecMMS apk's

Original build.prop and fearure.xml files

Original SystemUI.apk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DV8:
Tried it with and without the modded launcher and I am still getting the Easy Launcher mode. I will try downloading the s5 theme again and see what that brings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] beho86:
Guys, is MMS working and being sent fine with you? Mine is just loading forever
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Use root explorer go to system/priv-app and delete SecLauncher.apk then reboot to recovery and install s5 theme
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
Try going to setting/applications/all find mms and clear data
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] h_10:
jrkruse is not only a great developer and contributor to the dev efforts of the s4, but also he's an incredibly responsive tech support. i don't have this rom installed but wanted to give my thanks to him for being an awesome and generous person.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
The first time I flashed the S5 mod in NC5 I ended up with no email app, and the launcher also wasn't installed. This was after installing NC5 via aroma and selecting to the stock launcher. Flashed S5 mod a second time and all was well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 318sugarhill:
I haven't loaded NC5 yet...still on NC2, but you can turn off the shutter sound with Wanam Xpaosed under sound. Then open Xposed Installer and under framework do a soft reboot. Worked for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mangalo2004:
I'm getting a camera failed warning whenever I try to open my camera. I restored a backup of cm11 and the camera works fine. I've cleared camera data, and done a fresh install with no luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DV8:
Interesting went and looked in that location and it is not there.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] locofocos:
What's the status on using the ART runtime?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mochamoo:
I have had the phone become non responsive and a couple of times it shut down by itself. Not good when the alarm doesn't go off in the morning :) Am on KT 4/19. Will try the newest one. No custom profiles set.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Bet a nickel if you reflash the S5 mod you'll be fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
Thanks man. I'm on the newest KT kernel you included in the build, version 7.0. I changed some other things and I'll keep you posted if it happens again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DV8:
Should of bet ya I would have won....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mochamoo:
Had that backwards. Am on 4/28 and am flashing 4/19 now. I have also disabled greenify because that always seem to cause instability. Not sure why I bother with it.

What other kernels are people using besides KT?

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cchris81:
So I'm loving this rom, Installed it last night. Got home today with 30% battery remaining, I'm coming from 4.2 and am normally in the 60s. I didn't use 4.3 for very long because of battery, bluetooth issues and random reboots. It didn't seam to get hot at all. Hoping it improves or might have to get a larger battery, because I don't think i'm going back to 4.2 Looks like google services is waking the device quite a bit just like in 4.3, Sucks because 4.2 never had that issue.

Might have to try out this S5 stuff as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] waffle418:
You may want to check out some of the KT tweaks as well to conserve power. There are lots of scripts out there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markwebb:
Yes that is absolutely true. Download a few and try at your leisure. I find the balanced bull to work very well as it seems to strike a balance between performance and battery life. I don't play games so I don't need a hyper speed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Didn't work? Odd. Sorry that didn't help, nickel is in the mail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DV8:
LOL... Are you using TWRP for this it seems that I lose several thing when I flash the S5 theme file, such as Accuweather, TW Launcher and the battery mod doesn't show up either.
