ok, just flashed cf-auto and i'm rooted... i'll install twrp and from there can't i just recover my latest backup? or do i have to reflash v9 first?

---------- Post added at 05:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 AM ----------

my backup is kk 4.4 and my current stock is 4.3, so gotta get the kk 4.4 first, no?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
btw, rather than reflash the official stock firmware and then root, couldn't i have just flashed rooted stock rom, such as this one? just curious.

If you were on MDL or 4.2.2 then no. You would have to be on mk2 or nb4 baseband or bootloader to flash anything above jellybean 4.22. If you made a backup with cwm then I suggest installing that recovery and restoring your backup. You cannot restore different backups with different recoveries. After that you can install TWRP for better flashing results from now on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
ha ha, found that out myself, went ahead a flash twrp and it didn't recognize my cwm backup from what i could tell. so is it ok to just odin cwm without uninstalling twrp (if that's even possible), will cwm just write over twrp? btw i wasn't crazt about twrp's layout, i like cwm touch layout much more, seems much more intuitive, plus it was a pain trying to not hit the home light/button on the twrp home screen, i accidentally did it and it went into some sort of partition formation mode, which scared the heck out of me, but my system booted fine when the command had run its course...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
Yes. Just Odin the recovery. You can do that anytime.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
well had a chance to get after it again and i'm now up and running, in good shape... rather than flash one of my backups, i decided to just re-do everything since i had the time. i also decided to give the kt kernel another try after the clean install of v9, used v5 modz (kernel cleaner + kt ) and it still gave me problems, just it did before, with the default setting, and even with a few other "balanced" profiles i tried, it just doesn't like my phone i guess. it made boots very slow (the s4 logo hung for a long time before the boot animation kicked in), and the screen would randomly flicker very quickly once the os was loaded. also, and i thought this was weird, a couple of the 3rd party power boot/shutdown apps i had used in the past and re-downloaded refused to work properly - if i selected the "boot" option it would just shut down the phone, did this with both apps. so i decided to install the fenny kernel (modz v5) and all is good in the world, none of the kt problems, and the 3rd party power boot/shutdown apps work perfectly.

btw, i think i read that i needed to reflash the nb4 modem if i changed kernels? but in my baseband still shows nb4 after the fenny kernel flash, does that mean i'm good to go?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
The ONLY way to change your modem is by Odin,OR, taking a OTA. Nothing else affects it.

I have had several request for a Extended Power Menu thats "unbranded"....if anyone wants one let me know. I made one. And NO, its not themed like the picture. Thats The Sickness Edition V2 Theme

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
You Sir are a good man!! Thank you for your continued support.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
awesome! there was also some branding going in "about device" at some point, i think it was in the "about device" section, it had "kitkat" and some other test in a blue, but that seemed to disappear after a few v5 modz flashes, maybe it on the v9 rom and was overwritten by a v5 modz option i selected? anyway, thanks for this great edit, may seem picky to some, but it's a great change for me (actually my wife and daughter). so how do i get it to match the dark dialer and contacts? ;):laugh:

GPS Issues

I have had major problems with GPS being unable to connect on Insane. I reflashed clean and ended up with the same issue again. The problem results in Waze saying that GPS could not be found, and Maps using accuracy of network location. Location settings were set to High Accuracy. I recently flashed over to Hyperdrive 17.1 and my GPS problems are non-existent and connection is very quick. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

was looking at the maple leaf rom at the att&t forum and noticed that the developer stated that you should never restore system app data from a nandroid or titanium backup, including phone logs and sms data, after a flash. is this common knowledge? first i've heard of it... i've restored my phone & sms backups (using titanium and sms backup & restore apps) after i flashing roms and don't notice any bad side effects. am i reading the developer's instructions incorrectly?

when i purchased my phone it was 4.2, then i ota'd to 4.3, then i flashed sickness's vp rom. do right now my phone is 4.4.2 and the baseband is m919uvufnb4. thanks gents.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
any reason why cm backups can't be restored when using v9 rom? after installing v9 i make backups along the way, prior to testing out a mod for example, but whenever i try to restore a backup i get a m5 mismatch error? what's causing this problem? it's making backups pointless.

EDIT: i'm a complete dumba##@$$ - i renamed my backups with spaces in the rename. i think that's what's causing the problem, gonna give it a another whirl and see what happens...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
Well now you have Knox so if you want you can take the 4.4 ota. Maybe then your baseband will get better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
appreciate your reply but its greek to? when i ota'd from 4.2 to 4.3 i got knox. then i flashed sickness's v9 rom - so what are you saying i should do? install the official 4.4 from samsung?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
found a workaround to the problem i was having with cwm recovery no longer recognizing my backups after i installed the v9 rom... thought the problem might be that i had renamed the backup folder using spaces, but after fixing that, eliminating the spaces, i still got the md5 mismatch error. some more google searching turned up some complicated fixes that didn't work for me, that involved editing the md5 file using not++ and md5 calculator. what did work was a very simple fix, just delete the nandroid.md5 using a root browser, then create a new file and name it nandroid.md5. once i did that cwm had no problem recognizing my backups, they restored without a hitch. btw i use cwm to create the backups as well as restore them, not sure why it worked without a problem with the samsung stock rom but not the v9 rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
Yes when you took the mk2 ota you got Knox with it. You'd be better off upgrading to nb4 or 4.4 through ota to get rid of your signal issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aeneas1:
again, not completely sure what you mean? my baseband (in about device) shows nb4 (m919uvufnb4) as a result of flashing the latest modem. the android version i'm running is 4.4.2 (kitkat) which was installed with the v9 rom. are you saying i shouldn't use a custom rom like v9 and instead go with samsung's stock rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
Oh OK I misunderstood. I thought you were on mk2 or 4.3. Disregard my posts. Flashing the modem will change your baseband but not your bootloader. people who are having signal problems are updating to the full 4.4/nb4 firmware to fix it. Then rerooting and flashing a custom ROM.

So, shortly after the Sickness Modz were posted, I wanted to run the aroma installer (AGAIN) to restore the default battery icon. After I ran it, I noticed two things:

1. The flashlight toggle is completely gone.

2. I no longer have access to AppOps through the settings like I did before.

Didn't choose anything differently from what I originally did when I ran the aroma installer besides choosing stock battery icon, obviously.

Any answers are appreciated. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] CousinMikeyP:
Does OTA basically mean updating to the latest bootloader?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
I'm guessing that when the modz aroma theme settings and toggles both options get overwritten therefore disappearing.

Yes. It updates baseband and bootloader.

4.4.2 wicked to insane kit kat v9 rom

So this is the problem. When I read the instructions for the install I did a wipe. BUT! I did"format data" wipe. So any how now I installed the Insane Kit Kat V9., I let it sit for about 5 minutes. When I reboot the screen get stuck @ Galaxy S4 screen. And that's it. Can some one maybe point me in the right direction to get my phone working again. I use it at work and wasn't a good idea to mess with it during the week. Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
A lot of people might do it different than me but I find it better to do a full wipe by wiping data, cache, system, dalvik cache and lastly factory reset for good luck. Its never failed me to this day.

i'm in the same boat, would really like to get the flashlight toggle back... in fact i used to be able to turn on/off the flashlight when the screen was off by holding the volume up thanks to an xposed module (wanam) tweak, but now that the flashlight toggle has disappeared i have lost that function as well.

Both of these ROMs are awesome. I am trying The Sickness V3 ROM now. Everything is great, but I ran in to 2 problems. First one is that I can not change the lock screen wallpaper. When I try to change the wallpaper on the lock screen it actually changes the home screen. The other is I have 2 settings icons and menus. The one looks like the stock and the other I am guessing is the S5 style (Circles in a grid). I sometimes get a error saying com.android.settings has stopped working. Is this a known bug or possibly a bad flash?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
I recommend doing a full wipe flash. Wipe data, cache, dalvik, system and then do a factory reset. Regarding the settings. You have to have both on there for the rom not to have issues. Just choose the one you want to use and set preferences to always.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] driodman98:
I got a few questions. I notice by default I no longer need vpn to tether. I just want to make sure I didn't break something during the flash. Also I was wondering if I were to go back to full stock, With the updated boot loader how would you Reflash again or use aroma installers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kula04:
Thanks. I have tried that a couple of times now. Still can't changes the lock screen. At least I know there are suppose to be 2 settings. It's not a big deal though. The ROM is great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrzhadow:
I would continue to use your preferred VPN if you don't have unlimited data. I never get throttled because I have true unlimited. As for the going back to stock question. You MUST go back to the same android version of your bootloader.

4.2 (Jelly bean/MDL)

4.3 (Jelly bean/MK2)

4.4 (KitKat NB4)

Then simply re-root and flash away.

Note: if your on MDL and want to go back to stock you will need to update your radio/baseband in order to have a data and sound.

Does anyone use the NavBar with The Sickness Edition V2? In the past I never liked it, but it's grown on me from my time using AOSP... then once I learned TouchWiz 4.3 and up can actually use the NavBar I've been back in love with TouchWiz again... The only thing is that there are scaling issues in various apps. The biggest ones I can think of would be the Calculator and Camera apps. I'm sure it's present in all other apps, but to me it's most noticeable in those two. What I'm wondering is if there's some type of xposed module, build.prop edit, or anything else I might could use to correctly display these apps with the NavBar also. I've tried shrinking the size of the NavBar options in GravityBoxKK, but it's still in the way of the bottom of these apps and, honestly, all it really does it make the navbar smaller...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that guide shows you how to change the DPI (size) of the navbar, right? That's a lot of trouble to go through when I can just move a slider in GravityBoxKK and accomplish the same thing. Also, merely changing the size of the navbar itself doesn't do what I need; it makes it better (at the cost of a much smaller navbar) but it doesn't fix it.

Thanks anyway though!
