Which roms are people having there most success with? Just their two listed in the op or has anybody tried others like SlimKat?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] techguy2002:
Ive been running

Bajarom 2.2

Eclipse 4.0.2

Hyperdrive 17.1

Echoe V26

Choas Rom V2.6

They all run smooth. Wish the AOSP roms in this post would get fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheImmortal68:
How does chaos run? Any glitches? I've only run hyperdrive so far. How would you compare the two?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] techguy2002:
choas was actually pretty good!!! Hyperdrive I didnt stay on it long but there are a lot of people that use it daily and seem to like it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MmmMonster:
I saw apn settings after i enabled developer options via about phone -> tap build number 7 times then it showed up.

also if you change the mcc/mnc values from the defaults it will make the APN disappear from the list when you try to save it. leaving those values as is and filling out the rest let me save it and connect to 4g. apparently those values come from the SIM card so changing them makes it invalid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fatapia:
YOU!

THANK YOU

gonna try this out, been stuck on this rom, only thing killing it is looking for a network and i've been messing with the apn and never figured out changing those two entry fields is what caused it to disappear. ill report back with success or failure

---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

Alright thank you again I was able to get on to Movistar(not verizon but it's actually connecting to a network so it's a start for me)

I followed the modified steps suggested by MmmMonster and left MCC and MNC alone, I also added to MMS Port "80", as well as adding internet to the end of APN Type. With that my network finally connected to something. I'm not receiving a roaming message for Movistar but that's never been my network so I have no clue why I was able to register and receive texts.

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

jus gonna spam one more message...

Tried to manually register on vzw and one setting must still be wrong because it errors out and says try again later even tho I can see it. Incase anyone else is adamantly trying to make this work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MmmMonster:
oh yea i also did the "Search for networks" thing and instead of choosing verizon i told it to choose automatically. had too many other issues to stick with it though (play store never would work, chrome crashed a lot, internet was spotty [connected to my account and google now worked but chrome would never do search results/play store would say no connection]). ill be happy to give it another go if some of this stuff gets fixed. loved the rom while i was on it for an hour lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] danveB:
Which rom was smoother? Chaos or Eclipse? I am currently running Eclipse but yet to try Chaos :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Magotchi:
This line of discussion is really getting off-topic for this thread, but in my opinion, Eclipse is more for if you just want something that looks and works pretty nice out of the box, and Chaos is more for those that want to customize more aspects of their installation at flash-time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] techguy2002:
If the roms the op posted about actually worked. There would be no need for a side discussion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Magotchi:
This is a development discussion forum. This work-in-progress idea of using Google Edition ROMs on our locked-bootloader S4s is just that. The GE ROMs in this thread do work. I've tried 2 of them, and presumably the rest work as well. They have some bugs, but again, this is a work-in-progress, and I'm thankful that some light's even being shed on the idea.

Discussion about the best ROMs to use on the S4 in a general sense, unless in the fashion of comparing and contrasting features with these GE ROMs, I believe would make more sense in General Discussion or Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.

More of my opinion: keep your highly ungrateful tone to yourself.

just because u aren't as adaptable or savy as most users for this specific development thread doesnt mean you should suddenly label yourself a developer.... lol for 1 do you have a clue what your talking about? no. can u follow directions, no. are you working on over 6 ROMS at the same time along with various other side dev projects like me? no. this is a thread meant for encouraging the development of the possibility of GE ROMS for our locked bootloader phones.... before I started this thread with early AOSP 4.22 ROMS for Safestrap it was thought to be impossible to even run these types of ROMs for our phone but you sir are the reason why I'm not jumping at the bit to fix these your ungrateful think u can suddenly do something that thousands o of us working together cant or havent done yet. its both hilarious and offensive I suggest you take your lame attitude back to the general section and with the other n00bs. or keep your comments to yourself please no one finds them helpful at least I dont.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Magotchi:
When I start with the NC5 full Odin TAR, then flash Jamal's 4.4.4 ROM and gigilie's NC2 wifi fix (gogolies-wififix-VZW-FN2-NC2-w-modules-SS.zip), when I get into Android, I can only access the external SD through /mnt/media_rw/extSdCard, and then only as root. I haven't yet found a way to access the internal SD.

On jmsq's GE 4.4.4 ROM (with the NC2 fix), I'm able to access both /sdcard, /mnt/sdcard, and /mnt/extSdCard normally, and wifi immediately works during the setup process. Additionally, although in previous posts I said I wasn't able to get phone/SMS working, it also is now working immediately (maybe because I'm using the right modules file this time).

Is there something special I need to do on Jamal's ROM (remounting things, editing permissions, editing symlinks) in order to access my internal and external storage properly?

---------- Post added at 11:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

Also, even with trying MmmMonster's idea (leaving out the MCC/MNC settings), and also trying restoring my stock APNs via APN Backup & Restore (installed as a system app), I still can't get mobile data (Verizon) to work.

This is a development thread and forum. If you want to complain maybe you should head back to the general thread as this forum is not for noobs such as you. This thread was created to help develop the posted roms so that they would eventually be published for the people like you.

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------

Yeah Jamals is good for wifi but echoe is working for 4G. I have tried replacing and mismatching certain things to no avail:confused: . Jw has anybody been able to successfully get verizon 4g along with wifi on one of these roms to work? I've been busy the past couple weeks and haven't had enough time to read the threads
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pfizzle:
You said you flashed jmsq's ROM and it works perfectly..is this on a verizon s4? My quick skimming of the op led me to believe its for att, didn't read into it much
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
yeah i have gotten jamals working 100% however replicating and creating an installer so it works out of the gates been an issue for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jake.99x3:
Yeah unfortunately my htc one m8 is arriving tomorrow so I wont be contributing to the S4 forums as much anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
well we'll miss u bro. what "sense" does and htc make? i doubt you'll b gone too long. pun intended. even with locked bootloader I enjoy the S4 more not as fun as the unlocked s4/s5 but almost. thanks for your help and contributions tho bro.

anyone able to confirm that my new port of DSA's Blackbox 3.21 is working good?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jcs33:
I am on blackbox3.21 and it works great other than a few FC's when you first boot it up..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
Hey gigilie shot u a message but JCs33 when you flashed this what settings did u choose?:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
jcs is referring to 2 FCs with the Phone which is something I cannot get figured out it happens on a lot of ROMs not sure what causes it I believe its a theming issue or compatiblity issue with using international on our firmware.... not really a big deal but I have been having issues with the dialer after using it for a day or so sometimes it just stops working properly and will FC anytime you get into it. so I'm still working on this one. messaging works great
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ahmed.zubair:
What about the jamals rom [MENTION=3618916]gigilie[/MENTION] ? Is everything working in it . I installed it and also flashed the wifi fix .. but the wifi didnt worked for me . So i didnt used the rom .. if u can figure out whats wrong .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
if you figured out how to get the 4g going and to stick (I had it on his ROM at one point but thats the backup I lost) make a backup of it and post the safestrap recovery image in a zip plz. ill inject the modules or u can try yourself just toss the modules from the wifi nc2 fix in the lib folder of the zip i'm going to work on this one all weekend but thatd be a nice step in right direction
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
as promised

well this is what I came up with so far.... had everything working hopefully it works for others didn't get to test it well yet or even the file... sorry for the delay... Lost power at my house because the friends I was renting to decided to not pay last 2 months...so I'm staying at my girlfriends with just a laptop. Could use the any donations to restore power and continue development. If you like the ROM enough please consider. Thanks!

full wipe in recovery recommended b4 installing:

Echoe GPE 4.4.4 VZW for Safestrap v1

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567717223

has superroot and modules baked in no need to flash anything else. then once in the ROM goto settings and enable LTE and pick Verizon Internet from the APNS :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jctennis:
On a fresh install no Wi-Fi for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshnat:
Tried it. Boots and looks great. Has no baseband (I was on NC5), and no wireless at all. Went into settings and enabled LTE, but there's no option for APN and doesn't get any signal from VZW for voice calls. Obviously no wifi either.

Very excited about the possibilities, though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] techguy2002:
Josh,

Same issues here. But it looks nice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
yeah thats my bad... i actually uploaded the wrong version.... ssorry guys. the one below has LTE data working at least. wifi didnt understand why the wifi wont workproperly. the xposed softreboot trick might work havent had time to test just reupload...if anyone is able to figure out any more isssues with the rom and how to solve them let me know

gogolie's 4.4.4 ECHOE Google Play Edition Verizon Safestrap v3:

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567717820
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshnat:
I'm going to try it now. What's the xposed soft reboot trick?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
its just that i believe just softboot from somewhere in xposed.... retriggers wifi into working... otherwise I'm thinking we can use the hidden menus does anyone know how to save me 5 minutes and figured out how to access it from either of these new roms:

Heres the latest:as of JULY 21st 2014!

gogolie's port of ECHOE GOOGLE PLAY EDITION V4.4.4 for VERIZON SAFESTRAP

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567717820

gogolie's Official Google Edition 4.4.4 v2 VZW_SAFESTRAP

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567717823

These ROMs contain Xposed and Gravity and Wanam Modules for Xposed these apps are not only nifty for theming or personalization and options but have been known to retrigger wifi into working if a softboot is done from them.

both of the above ROM's should be installed on a clean slate IE Wipe FULLY 1st!

Once wiped install via safestrap and reboot. These are still a bit buggy but hey at least I'm showing you that its possible both of these for sure have working data for VZW in 4g/lte form. If you can help or suggest or bug test and post or PM me any info on helping remove these final bugs we will have a fully working ROM in AOSP/GPE FORM FINALLY NOT JUST SILLY THEMES OVER TOUCHWIZ!!! The more donations I get reguarding specific ROMS is what I tend to spend my time developing so if this is something you'd like to see then you know what to do.

Thanks and enjoy,

gogolie
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
[MENTION=3618916]gigilie[/MENTION] if we flash ur two new ones do we still have to modify the apns?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshnat:
No joy on either. Neither has any cellular or wifi. Echo gives me FC on android keyboard over and over. Official GPE doesn't have xposed as far as I can tell. Still, it's promising! Thanks for your hard work on these.

Also GPE wipes out SS, so I had to Odin to stock and reroot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
thanks for helping in the dev and your comments and inputs dude. wish more people could :) slowly but surely lol

anyway

both should startup into 3g with APNs already chosen... if you select LTE under mobile it should pick it up as 4g data. im actually usb tethering from it right now. downloading a movie at 1.3mb a sec and some other stuff so I know its on 4g and I have only 2 bars. but when I'm in 4g it says mobile network not available. but when i install initially my first call to voicemail worked as did txt messaging in the normal GPE ROM but yeah.... don't understand how I'm losing mobile network but still maintaining 4g lte data... anyone else???

oh and yeah I know Xposed and a few other apps aren't included as well as the fact that it overwrites safestrap but their being included along with apps like selinux permissive to allow us to do things easier until we figure out exactly how to get these running 100% on the i545.

so final release wont include those apps unless vital to ROM's capabilities.

and as for the GPE Keyboard error.. I meant to uninstall the official GPE keyboard as something with conflicting libs is causing the FC but if you go into settings you can access the language and input setting as the other google keyboard and it works fine. kicks over to a blue on black themed (again not in final but thanks to Shaftamle for the ics kb) but with that on and the lte on you should be able to hop on play and install apps, use data but you'll have to switch back to 3g in order to make, take calls or mms..... if someone could confirm? another thing is after choosing LTE and then even the lte apn (not necessary for it to flip to lte data it will pick the apn on its own) your able to search for mobile network it pops up verizon 1st click on it and it will say registered on mobile network but it still wont let you make calls. anyone able to help on this??? or anyone even able to get as far as I am with these?? thanks guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
nope

no apn modification or adding as of now at least. just pick from the list.

anyone know how to access the samsung menu from these types of ROMS?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mfun89:
This is probably a dumb question but does the echoe rom port come with root and safestrap already installed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
doubt it comes with safestrap and i dont know how many developers have caught on to my superRoot method for prerooting their ROM but I'd offer it to anyone needing it maybe sbreen can put it or something similar in hyperdrive cause Ive had a ton of ppl forgetting to root and me having to help them but thats a different thread and really now all you need to do is get towelroot to root it,. but with echoe the TW version isnt handled by me anymore (I did the 4.3 ports but jds took over when us safestrap users had to wait to upgrade while MDK has been on 4.4.2 since Jan) so I dont know what hes including or if its prerooted ask in that thread.

if your talking about the echoe gpe in this thread it should be prerooted but its aosp so just for certain flash with supersu 2.01.zip after installing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] taz1458:

Hey guys,

It seems im having a massive noob problem here.

I cant figure out how to root my omni rom.

I read up on it and apparently you´re meant to flash the SU app which I have tried but when I do that it says "Failed to install, aborting"

When I go into Settings and SuperSU and try to install it through that, it says it failed when I try to use Normal and when I try CWM nothing happens. It says it should reboot into CWM but it doesnt..

Any idea what I can do?

Sorry for the silly question.

Thanks guys!
[LG Optimus G (International)] amedian:
i dont use any omni rom but i think you can acces recovery. turn off the phone and while it off press volume up key and power button together until you feel vibrate then when screen came press volume down button 2 time then press power. to acces recovery.

and i think you can rooot the phone again with this framaroot apk too

Hey,

thanks for the answers. I stumbled upon another SuperUser zip posted especially for the OmniRom which had been updated and then flashed that through CWM manually and that worked. Didn´t expect it to but I guess that the other Superuser zip I had wasnt the correct one.

Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it.

P.s I had tried the framaroot approach before but it didnt work.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Extreme112:
My Note 2 (GT-N8013) has recently been going into the video screen saver when it locks. I'm not really sure what its called but whenever I lock the Note, a video plays showing the features of the Note 2 and such. This didn't used to happen, but since my little bro is the main user of this tablet he might have changed settings. How do I turn this off?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordofstuff:
It looks like your brother installed one of the apps that samsung uses for marketing or turned on a feature he didn't really need. Look on the device and see if there is an app called screensaver or samsung screensaver. If it is there there should be a setting to turn that off. Also see if there is an app called demo mode, but I don't think that should be the issue. Others have reported this basic problem and had success by turning the screensaver feature off.

I would like to connect my Universal to a flight instrument that supplies serial output (glider vario with GPS, altitude e.t.c. information).

I have seen RS232 cabels with converter to USB, but my question is - will this work or do I need a driver for my Universal?

Has anyeone tried this with succes, and if so, what was the solution.

Best regards

Steen
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] steen-p:
I forgot to add, that I would prefere a solution where the converter is not build into a RS232 plug, as the serial input would com from a Hirose p/n HR10A-7P-6P plug. Therefor I wil have to make my own cable - at least on the serial input side.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] cgrillo:
Serial connection from Universal

I don't think you can use the USB connector output and convert it to a serial formal as the equipment needs the ability to behave as a server for the serial connection, whereas it is only configured to act as a host (i.e when connected to a PC). (terminology may be incorrect ...!)

What you could obtain is a Bluetooth Serial port .. i know you didn't want the 9 pin plug, but you could easily make yourself a connector -and it would work wireless.
