Has anyone tried this yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spacepirates:
Tried the Echoe GE 4.4.4 edition. Coming from Echoe 28.1, wiped, installed, rebooted, had keyboard crash and no signal or wifi. rebooted, still had keyboard crashes and no signal. Wipe again, install again, this time with wifi modules, same symptoms as above, try to change keyboard settings, didn't get it to stop crashing (had no wifi or signal anyways). Gave up, went back to 28.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] taz1458:
Same thing here. I'll just deal with echoe until we get lucky enough to get an unlocked bootloader.

Sent from my Verizon S4 using the XDA App
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mikeneff2006:
Has this is rom been fully fixed for the galaxy s4 yet? Is the WiFi still not working? Are any of the previous issues been solved yet? Is there also still development on this ROM as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marbertshere:
Are you talking about Echoe?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
I believe these gpe roms are buggy, even moreso than the self-modded AT&T ROM I have. Look in the general section if you want a functional gpe safestrap rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mfun89:
I gave the 4.4.4 gpe version (not echoe) a try and it booted fine and was faster and smoother than any tw based rom I've ever ran but I couldn't get any network signal or wifi and I also couldn't access the sd card. I just wish the people at Verizon could just unlock our bootloaders and make the process a whole lot easier
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
It would actually be Samsung that would handle a boot loader unlock solution, but of course that's never going to happen.

Try the AT&T ROM in the general subforum. Pretty stable for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marbertshere:
To get the WiFi, flash modules then do a soft reboot. If your Wi-Fi ever disappears just do a soft reboot.

The Verizon and At&t threads have more info on how to fix the others, or you can pm me (i can solve your data problem on VZW, at least).

You've tried a few of these AOSP styled/GPE ROMs, right? Which one is your favorite so far?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mfun89:
Are there any other aosp themed roms besides eclipse tw?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marbertshere:
Yeah. For starters, there's an actual AOSP GPE rom for SafeStrap users now. It's available for At&t and Verizon. That's what I'm running now.

Other ROMs that come to mind are BlackBox, Illusion, Slim ROM, Echoe... Some are SS ok, some aren't.

Edit: I just realized what thread I'm on.. Check out the OP!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
marbertshere/anyone that wants to help me bring the 1st CM ROM to Safestrap try the PAC ROM port in the International Development section... needing help porting it but it will boot goin to at least need something done with the dialer/mms portion but its a nice aroma installer with a stock kernel option. which is what makes running these AOSP/GPE ROms possible is the compatability the inital build has with the stock ROM.

and I'll be getting those ROMs in the OP fixed up here soon enough but I'm having a hell of a time getting the 4g / menu options / apn settings to give me data consistently in 4g or LTE. 3g no problem it seems... if anyone can put together a little patch or even zip their etc dir if they do have consistent 4g data with wifi and send it to me youd save me a headache or two
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mfun89:
Can you link me to the thread with the aosp gpe rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] derrickdroid:
What's the difference between at&t roms and Verizon roms?! Will it cause issues if my phone is a Verizon sim unlocked s4 using t-mobile sim and correct apn settings and I flash an AT&T rom? Sorry for noob question.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marbertshere:
Here's the link to instructions on how to flash it for Verizon:

The original (AT&T) thread is linked in there as well.

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

Hm.. When I had to flash the ROM in my Verizon phone I had to switch out the apn file from my stock ROM with the one in the AT&T ROM ZIP file. This gave me access to the Verizon network. If you did the same thing in pretty sure it would give you access to the t-mobile network.

I'm not the most knowledgeable about these things but I'm pretty sure it would work since you have a Verizon phone. Check out the VZW thread if you haven't already: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2817708

Anyone find a fix for the Wifi toggle issue - HATE HAVING TO SOFT REBOOT?

GPE 4.4.4 is running great - so smooth but every so often I restart and forget to turn off Wifi before doing a power down/restart. Upon restart, have to do a Soft reboot (not too big a deal but annoying). Any suggestions for fixes?

Thanks.

What have you been working on lately?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
BlackBox 3.2.3 is new about 95% AOSP

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23681161096071138

PSOA Barebonez is a new ROM I'm working on its 100% AOSP on top of a TW Core so that everything like WiFi/4G Data/SMS/Cellular all work without a hitch. Its still in beta testing and doesnt have a dedicated Thread yet so if your wanting to test it post results of the beta here please :)

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23681161096070771
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dewhashish:
My APN settings won't save, MMS and SMS won't send. Whenever I try to add a new one in hangouts, it gets deleted immediately. Pulling an apns-conf file from another rom and copying over this one fills in the APNs, but none of them work to send messages. Am I missing something? Besides rebooting after copying over the file
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] todd3835:
Is that 2nd one "Prism Barebones"? Just wondering...... Looking for something that isn't so heavy on ram. My phone after booting up has like 700mb ram, before loading any games or anything.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
no its AOSP backwards PSOA Barebonez is a completely new ROM i've been working on but it should do the trick for your memory issue. however its just a beta dont know if you can use it as a daily
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] todd3835:
Probably fire this up in a bit. Is it a port from someone else, or did you pull an existing AOSP rom for the Verizon S4? I'm not much of a dev, but I can help you any way you need. Testing, help trouble shooting, etc......

-Todd
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bamige1:
Honestly, We are probably stuck with the soft reboot trick for now. I believe its something with the AOSP kernel (correct me if im wrong) and unless someone like surge gets kexec working with SS 3.72, the GPE rom will be messed up for a bit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
I've been using this as my daily for the past 2 days and it has been rock solid so far. The only glitch is upon bootup then I see the phone app FCs twice in a row but after that it's all been good. I loved Blackbox because of the overall theme but I couldn't get the random reboots to stop. Great job!

PS. As a side note, PSOA Barebonez benches faster than any other ROM I've ran. Close to 30K in Antu!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Raymondlikesroot:
WOAH! YAYAYAYA! Thanks gigilie! I'll try it out today or tomorrow!

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

I hope this is true!!

What were your steps?

1. flash Rom

2. flash nc5 modules

3. flash super su?

[MENTION=6132955]LGtMgG2t[/MENTION]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
I'm on an i545 with the locked NC5 bootloader using SS 3.75 stock slot. It was a simple flash and then I booted and let it sit for 10mins. WiFi didnt work so I changed the ro.securestorage to false in the build.prop then rebooted and installed the NG6 modules and modem. Worked like a charm since. I can't remember exactly how I got SuperSU, likely I installed it from the play store after installing Towel Root. I love how clean the ROM is running. I haven't tested Bluetooth yet since I killed my earpiece last week with the wrong charger. lol

Edit- I should also mentioned I ran an ODEX script on the system and on all my 3rd party apps which makes it's a little faster.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Raymondlikesroot:
hm. I have so far never touched build.prop (Idk how to edit it). Also im on mk2 but partially upgraded to nc5 to keep bootloader. Hopefully it will work :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jetsman:
Using the new beta. Loving the aosp feel. Only thing I've seen is signal bars are grayed out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
did you flash any NG6 modules?

i tried two different modules packages.

no wifi
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Raymondlikesroot:
you should look at the post 3 people in front of you. I believe that this will solve your problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
Sure did. Lol

Yep only thing that doesn't work is the signal bars. Hmmmmm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
Very strange you all are having issues with the signal bars. I've not seen that yet. I do recall seeing a signal bar patch for another ROM around here but I don't recall the name. Maybe a search will turn it up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
Tried it no luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
I'm not sure that it matters but I do have it running on the stock slot. After a clean wipe of course.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lukesdiesel:
Will these work on NC5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Raymondlikesroot:
the 4.4.x ones will work on nc5 :).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
which ROM are you guys playing with??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
POSA barebones
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
hmm weird that wifi woudnt work for you all it should need are modules. i had planned on making a lollipop version and an inverted dakhorse version of the rom and sticking it all in a nice aroma package but i didnt hear anything back about the beta really took yall a few months to find her huh lol so data is working ok just no wifi from your end? that carhd32wifi fix should be generic it patches your wifi directory in etc and the bin files with proper ncx or ngx files then installs the modules maybe try that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
wifi works with the wifi fix flash .. its signal bars that don't
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] greatquux:
gig I think you'd get a great response if you created a lollipop ROM that worked with safestrap. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
Lol ya he would.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
Maybe it's time for a PSOA Barebonez thread? I'm still using it as my DD and have yet to find any major problems. Very smooth and quick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
its because I had odex'd the framework directory thats probably what those signal fixes is based off of probably just a zip packaged framework2.jar or something?? I'll fix it on next release. I actually had to download psoa and start over again but I'm about 85% done with this 4.4.4 / 5.0 Lollipop ROM. Probably going to branch out from this Barebonez (I'l do an update for it tho at least have it on matching phone/mms/contacts and fix that signal issue and burn in some modules) then I was thinking a Lollipop version basically all google possible and theme the rest for a lollipop look as an actual 5.0 port with our phones wont be possible unless we have a kernel update, an Xperia Z3 version with some themed/some authentic apps version, then an HTC/Sense or ubuntu touch or miui/ios looking / emulating version can't decide. htc has a few apps ported like blink but I'm really not a fan of the phone. ubuntu has some launchers that emulate the look and feel might b a bit more interesting for some and most of the miui 6.0 apps havent been ported over yet but their launchers offer so many theme options its ridiculous and I havent seen any s4 ios 8 themed apps except my buddy JoeTech's IOS8 themed AOSP MMS so a dialer and contacts would take sometime... i spose I could just keep it samsung and do a note4/alpha/s5 ROM but they seem a dime a dozen... whats your guy's vote or suggestions for the ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jraider44:
Am Ubuntu touch themed ROM would be pretty cool if possible...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dewhashish:
A lollipop ROM if available, I know samsung hasn't pushed it to the GPE phones yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skyman88882002:
Just to check my understanding - you are on a NC5 bootloader but flashing NG6 modules? I am on SS 3.72 and have been flashing Barebonez along with NC5 modules and my phone is going crazy (the end call button won't work and I get the com.android.phone has stopped error every time I boot or somebody finally hangs up on their end of the call). I tried replacing the secphone and contacts apps with various other versions and still no luck (the incall ui has a shaded-out 'end call' button that just simply won't work). I am hoping that possibly changing to the NG6 modules might help in some way. I love this rom (it is so small and snappy) - the phone is the only think I can't get to work. Any thoughts or advice? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
Yes, that's correct. I did a full Odin wipe back to NC5 which is what the phone shipped with then I installed Barebonez. Don't reboot after the install and simply install the NG6 modem and modules. It's working on stock and Slot 1 for me using this method. It is great ROM for sure!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
[MENTION=3618916]gigilie[/MENTION]

I've found one minor bug in PSOA Barebonez the last couple days. Going to settings->Application Defaults and changing my messaging app requires a reboot or soft reboot before it will take effect.

Someone reported an issue with calls not hanging up. I'll test that out a little more later today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skyman88882002:
A little more information on the phone call hang up problem I am having. It appears that whatever broadcast or intent that is used to hang up an ongoing phone call is no longer present. The only way the phone call will hang up is if the other person on the other end initiates the hang up. I called my wife's phone and then rebooted my phone and the phone call continued on on my wife's phone as if the call was still going. Strange
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
that is strange, very. just out of curiosity you did a wipe before installing? or this was installed on a blank ROM slot? and then describe your "Phone" or Contacts screen is it AOSP? because it sounds different. the incallui.apk shouldnt be present as far as I remember.... I've got a different version installed now and am working on a new update, wont be long...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoulderGeek:
Whoops, found my answer over in the 4.3 Tether Modules thread.

OK, now I have a different issue. Even though I have the Safestrap 3.72 package from gigilie's Everything-in-One NC5 package, I can't seem to boot to recovery. I see that Safestrap is given root in Super Su, and I do the install procedure. Busybox has been updated and has root grant as well.

Yest, after the Safestrap install, the "Reboot to Recovery" button is never lit, and I don't get the Safestrap banner at boot. I have done Dalvik and /cache wipes. Ideas?

Oh, i am a 'tard. Sorry, the answer is that I didn't properly apply the SE Linux mode change. Nevermind... :crying: :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skyman88882002:
Did a factory reset before installing. Once I had the issue with the phone I tried different phone packages including some with incallui. You are correct, that was something I added later. Really appreciate the response. I actually decided to try blackbox instead. It started up with the same phone error as barebonez but the phone worked fine. I have been using the blackbox ROM for a day now and it is working great! I can't wait to try your new ROM also. Thank you again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] LGtMgG2t:
I love Blackbox. Great theme. And yes, it has the same FCs with the phone app on boot up as Barebonez. It doesn't seem to cause any problem though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Raymondlikesroot:
Can you post a link of the blackrox rom? I can't seem to find it through simple searching

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gpz1100:
I'm a bit confused. I've been able to flash all the roms referenced in the OP to a NC5 based sch-i545. The phone boots successfully but wifi and mobile connectivity is broken. Baseband shows up as unknown in the settings|about page. Flashing various different modules does not enable wifi functionality.

Is there something I'm missing to enable the RF portion to work or are these roms more proof of concept?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrGooglesFirst:
Have you been flashing modules/modems in ss?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gpz1100:
^^Yes, I have a zip file for the nc5 modules; phone is already on nc5 baseband and non-hlos so no point in reflashing that.. What's interesting is that baseband in settings|about is showing up unknown. You got a link to specific modules and/or baseband that you know work this rom?

I had success with this one - http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/how-to-install-aosp-s4-google-edition-t2817708 - Wifi behavior is not 100% consistent, sometimes doesn't enable after a reboot. Rebooting with airplane selected works ok. Gps works too. I believe this one is also based on a att gpe rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MrGooglesFirst:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fatapia:
I didnt have the problem extensively with the ROMs in this thread, but I also followed the goldfinger thread and used those files to patch the rom. On the 4.4.3 one it was necessary to get voice/text, but once i did that it broke 4g and nothing i did brought it back so had to go back to HD.. also couldnt install apps but anyways yeah thanks for suggesting the other ROM I'm gonna definitely try it out.

Any chance Theme Chooser works? I wifi tether a lot on unlimited data so I might have to wait.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
I want to say yes theme chooser works. And take your time. I just got this far wanted help fixing them or seeing what could be done using the base or whatever from these roms and porting like other cm or aokp type stuff to safestrap or locked bootloader. Cm is all new to me at least I've never examined code or broke and fixed anything with this style. Much simpler than tw at first glance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] todd3835:
I was also wondering if theme chooser works. Can you try it? In settings there should be a way to "Switch theme". If there isn't, then it doesn't have theme chooser. CM, AOKP, PACMan, and some other AOSP roms have it. Anything based off of CM *should* have it.

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

I looked and Slim doesn't have theme manager. Their stance is that "the theme manager sucks", so they are building their own setup for themes. IIllusionRom doesn't specify if they are *pure* AOSP (building from source and then adding their own stuff) or pulling from another rom (PA, CM, AOKP, etc). They do mention HALO from PA, so they may be building off of PA. I'm not sure if PA uses the TMobile theme interface or not. I'd be willing to help port CM or something of the sort, if you need help gigilie =]
