Dev's have lives outside this site, so you can't really expect anything. Though if jmsq decides to, it would probably happen when Safestrap supports Lollipop. You could technically flash it the same way we used it to flash 4.4 ROMs when we couldn't read /system on the 4.4 kernel, but that just opens up problems and room for error. Either way, don't expect anything until jmsq pops in himself. Then you won't be disappointed either way ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jmsq:
I'm taking a look at what's available. So far the most straightforward upgrade methods haven't worked despite the newer kernel. I'm now trying to rebuild the rom from scratch, so don't be surprised if the upgrade requires a factory reset. There's no telling that this'll even work at all with lollipop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] RyaNov1333:
Hey that's great to hear regardless! I'm glad you're looking into this for all of us. If you need help with anything let me know, I have a Verizon S4 running the ROM you made for 4.4.4, so I'm unsure if it'll help any with what you're doing with the AT&T S4, but if you can think of anything don't hesitate to ask me!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jmsq:
Not looking good, none of the methods I've tried so far have even given me a boot animation :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] RyaNov1333:
That's a bummer to hear so far, but I'm staying hopeful! You were able to do it once before, so I wouldn't be surprised if you pulled some magic out of your sleeve for this one!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] npjohnson:
Due to the way that Lollipop boots, I would bet that the aboot for lollipop is necessary...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Sale.s:
Guys i need help.

I have s4 i9505 not at&t (internacional) stock lolipop 5.0.1 and i install safestrap 3.75 and easybox, but when i reboot and when safestrap animation shows up i click on recovery but it boot in my sistem, not to safestrap...

How to fix this?

Maybe i didnt install proper version of safestrap or something else. ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] LobotomyTH:
There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking. While demanding is a different story, however, that's not what he did. It was a simple question.

But if I were to add my 2 cents, I'd say that it probably wouldn't be possible for jmsq to give us a safestrap/flashfire-able GPE Lollipop ROM with what he has now. Different kernels, different problems to overcome. If I were a betting man, I'd say he'd have to start about 80% from scratch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
Never said there was any issues with asking, and I wasn't being condescending in my response. Just saying that you shouldn't expect it like it will automatically happen, as there are many obstacles in the way like you said. There was a bit of an attempt to start from scratch with a Cyanogen port that I tested in these forums here, but we didn't have the knowledge to get it up and running fully.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Thr33-F0ur:
Did you flash the kernel modules for your firmware? MLD modules if coming from mk2 or NB1 modules if you're coming from NB1 or NC1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
If you have Safestrap you can flash modems. As for not working after a reboot, I'd say your only option at that point is to reflash stock with ODIN and start from there, or just stay off.

Sent from my SGH-I337 running GPE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bboysamm:
Yeah, I flashed the NB1 modules, no luck. Wifi and everything worked well, except for the restart problem which caused a lot of issues, like flashing some mods and new modems.

Gonna try to reflash stock ASAP! Will update with the results when I have the time!

*Update - Restart problem fixed. But Wifi not. Flashing NB1 modules did nothing. NC1 doesn't seem to do anything either. Gonna keep on trying

*Update 2 - Got everything working! Thanks for suggesting starting over from stock!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jmsq:
Just a quick update, I haven't fixed any currently broken features yet, but 4.4.3 is similar enough that it still works with our kernel. I've rebased this ROM off of R2.0. In case it causes new problems for anyone I've left the 4.4.2 link up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] netomel:
In my case if I reboot I lose WiFi and can not get back only solution is clean flash..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jmsq:
Try a soft reboot rather than a normal reboot. You can enable that in the power menu with the Gravitybox/Xposed. That has been more reliable to bring WiFi back for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 4ndroid99:
Amazing stuff, I tried it out and everything went smoothly. Just install it and follow the steps to as if you are installing a TW rom.

Can't wait for MTP to be fixed as that's about the only thing that doesn't work for me and I really need file transferring.

Good job, keep up the excellent work. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] heykevin:
Hi noob here, I'd like to know if I could use this rom with safestrap on

SAMSUNG-SGH-1337

4.2.2

1337UCUAMF3

with Safestrap version 3.65 or would I have to update to a different android version and use the associated safestrap version

follow up, is it worth staying on 4.2.2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] netomel:
Staying on 4.2.2 depends on your likes. If you would like to try a lot different roms you better of where you are because you can flash custom roms. If you update to latest firmware you would be limited to Stock base roms and this one which is the only AOSP rom we can use.

Regarding this rom you can only flash it if you are updating to kitkat.

Being in jelly bean where you are you can use custom recoveries I think. But there is a lot more roms you can use.

My suggestion stay on 4.2.2. Until kitkat allows more versatility.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
He is on MF3 4.2.2. That means he is limited to Safestrap just like us, and not free to flash non-stock based ROMs. You can only use a custom recovery on the MDL or MDB 4.2.2 builds. So it would be beneficial for him to update to 4.3 build MK2 and then use the KitKat Magic Toolkit if he wants or any 4.3 ROM. If you go to MK2 and use the Magic Toolkit with Safestrap 3.72 then you can use this ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] heykevin:
So, in general there's more to stuff that can be played with on 4.3, meaning it would be beneficial to update to from 4.2.2 is what I get from this?

To do so, do I just unfreeze the update app things and let my device update its self, or would take take me straight too the newest firmware?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Rhymey:
I'd recommend airdroid for file transfers for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
Yes, 4.3 is beneficial. I don't know if it will take you straight to the newest firmware. The OTA won't work if you have modified the system, but you can use SuperSU to keep root. Otherwise, just flash the MK2 ODIN tars if you don't mind losing userdata. Otherwise you can unfreeze them and try a normal OTA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 4ndroid99:
I've used Airdroid in the past, but it doesn't let you transfer anything larger than 100mb unless you have premium. I suppose it isn't much of a problem now, since I can physically pull out my sd card and plug it into an adapter in case I need to transfers something larger than 100mb. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] issam1979:
I couldn't install the rom or just didnt wait enough for it to boot, but has any one tried "usb mass srtorage enabler" app from the market it works on my rom and it's faster than the samsung option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] NighthawkXL:
You could always setup a small FTP server, and use one of the many free clients on the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Rhymey:
LAN lets you do stuff over 100. I can confirm because since MTP is busted I had to use Airdroid to transfer 4.4.3 over ;x
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ksj0823:
okay, so is there anyone who can tell me if this rom stable or not? Still no solution for wifi issue after reboot? I am using SHOstock 5.0 with safestrap. But I do love the AOSP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jmjoyas:
Do a soft reboot (through exposed installer or advanced power menu) to solve the wifi problem.

The ROM is stable but for the known issues that have workarounds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ksj0823:
wait, so you are saying if I got problem with the wifi after reboot the phone, I just need to do a soft reboot, the wifi will back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] soulctcher:
So just to summarize what I've gathered from this and to make sure I do this right...(I'm on 4.4.2 NB1 via SS 3.72 currently):

Download the rom, put it on my card.

Reboot into SS

Wipe everything except the external card under advanced

Flash the rom

Reboot

Reinstall SuperSU

If wifi isn't working, soft reboot

Potentially use USB mass storage enabler to do cable transfers (or other method like ftp, etc.)

Do I need to reflash anything else? Am I missing anything?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jmsq:
You'll want to flash the NB1KernelModules and SuperSU after flashing the ROM and before reboot. Other than that it looks good. I tried testing a USB mass storage enabler but it didn't work for me; YMMV.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 4ndroid99:
Yep, I can confirm this as well. You can perform a soft reboot from the xposed app itself, but I would recommend Gravitybox for a variety of other tweaks (including add reboot to power menu).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] soulctcher:
Okay...got it. Thank you for the info.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ksj0823:
Okay I just flash that 4.4.2 on the link at the first page. And I got a notification said about the 4.4.3 update. So the question is How can i disable the update by using titanium backup? what is app name that i should disable in Titanium?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] soulctcher:
You should probably just flash the 4.4.3 from the first page.

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

Anyone able to get SuperSU Pro to install? Every time I try on this rom, it just hangs up on the install and no other apps will install until I reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
You'll have to delete it's data. I used Safestrap's file manager to delete its folder from /data/data and then flashed it and it's good.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] soulctcher:
Which folder? I tried one and had no luck...same issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jmjoyas:
Paid apps do not install as of now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ksj0823:
Can you please provide me a link for the stock browser apk file. Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] soulctcher:
Tried to resolve the paid apps issue from the market by adjusting the ro.build.description and ro.build.fingerprint lines in build.prop as shown in the 4.4.2 NB1 build.prop, but no dice:

ro.build.description=jflteuc-user 4.4.2 KOT49H I337UCUFNB1 release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/jflteuc/jflteatt:4.4.2/KOT49H/I337UCUFNB1:user/release-keys

The best one I found so far was the one I pulled from C-rom. The address bar hides automatically and it has incognito tabs working without FC.

Error code 492 from play store when i tried to update some google app and install some other free app. Anyone?

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------

can you please upload one for me? thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jmsq:
Yeah, I didn't think that'd work. I'm pretty sure the reason paid apps aren't installing is Google's security mechanism for paid app data. For each paid app, Google remounts its directory from some unknown location to /mnt/asec/com.app.name via dm block devices. This usually happens automatically, but it isn't working on this rom and I'm not quite sure why, since both touchwiz and aosp seem to use the same method from seemingly identical locations. If you type 'mount' on another rom with paid apps, you'll see /dev/block/dm-0,dm-1,etc mount points for each paid app. I was trying to figure out where google is remounting that from to see if there's a permissions issue or something, but they don't seem to include the tools to do that within android.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 4ndroid99:
Here you go

View attachment Browser.apk

Push to system/app and set permission rw-r-r

If you run into FC's, then rename BrowserProxyProvider.apk to BrowserProxyProvider.apk.bak so that it's disabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ksj0823:
Thank you so much !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 4ndroid99:
I remember safestrap users had to use the modaco paid app module on roms like Eclipse. Dunno if that's going to help here. :confused: But you might want to check it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ksj0823:
everything works fine now except I can't update the app from play store.

When you guys said that the paid app will not work on this rom. What kind of notification u guys got? I can't install the app or update the app from play store since last night. Mine says about the error code 492. I tried some solution that I found online. Not good for me. Anyone know how to fix the play store error code 492?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jmsq:
I haven't seen error 492, so you may be running into a different issue entirely. What happens for me is when a paid app tries to install it gets stuck at installing indefinitely, and will hold other apps in the queue. You must then hit stop in the My Apps installing section and only select free apps to install/update, otherwise things will get stuck again.

This is a great lead, unfortunately it doesn't seem to work for whatever reason, both that apk and the Forward Lock from the modaco toolkit give me the same stuck at installing screen as without it. It's possible that the mounting is not the issue and we're running into something before that. :(

I was still getting crashes at start with both this one and the CM11 Browser.apk. If you run into that issue, you need to rename BrowserProxyProvider.apk to something like BrowserProxyProvider.apk-orig in /system/app, then reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
I only got 492 when I had app data and apk's left over. If you didn't wipe before flashing, make sure that in your /data/app folder there isn't already an APK of the app you're trying to install. Otherwise, you'll have to clear data on Play Store, and Play Services.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ksj0823:
I did wipe before flashing, And I clear data on play store and play services. But still.... 492...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
Have you tried clearing all cache in recovery? Try that as well as wiping the Google Play app data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ksj0823:
Yea, the recovery wipe is the last thing I am going to try today. Did wipe the google play app data, not working. ALL apps are showing error code. No matter is updating the app or installing the new app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 4ndroid99:
The latest Google Search update (3.4.16.1149292.arm) will break the google search function and give you a "can't load search result error." If run into this then just uninstall updates and replace it with the factory stock version. Not sure if this has happened to anyone else yet, but this issue is certainly not limited to this rom. A lot of ppl are complaining about this at the moment.

EDIT: looks like Google fixed it. Others are affirming this as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] t4duzan:
Couple of questions for those that might be using this as a somewhat DD. Is there anyway to get a battery percentage to show in the status bar (no Wanam seeing how this is a full blown GPE rom)? And I couldn't get an APN to set. There was not one when I flashed the rom and when I set one up, it wouldn't let me save one, therefore I pretty much had to abandon the rom. Did anyone find this to be a problem also? If there were other tips and tricks, please share them as I had to flash another rom as my DD.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
I got my APN by default. Try pressing the menu button and pressing save there with the APN. While you can't use Wanam, Gravitybox is working amazingly for me on the 4.4.3 version.

Wished WiFi hotspot was working, I tried using it to play Spaceteam and couldn't get it working and then I saw in the OP that it doesn't work :P

Also, I remember someone mentioned the USB Mass Storage Enabler app to try and mount to PC but that didn't do anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] t4duzan:
Thanks for the Gravitybox mention. Also I did try using the menu button to save the APN but it didn't respond. Strange, maybe I got a bad download so the next time I try this rom I'll redownload it and see if that fixes it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bennyboy78:
Is there any way to get a theme engine on this? Like tmobile or cm theme engine?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
There's one that's an Xposed module, xtheme engine or something. I don't know what themes it works with.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] kevinco1:
Try HK Theme Manager: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.haiduongbk.hkthememanager

XTheme has been abandoned by the developer. HK is the closest you are gonna get to CM's Theme Engine for Touchwiz

I would love to get rid of touchwiz but two things are holding me back,

1. I wouldn't want to lose nova launcher prime... not a deal breaker

2. USB tethering. Deal breaker if it doesn't work. I am using my phone as my principle internet source and usb tether it to my computer daily. Any ideas if this would work even though mass storage does not?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jmsq:
I just verified that USB internet tethering does work. You need the Samsung USB drivers installed if you're running Windows, but I just successfully tested it on Windows 8.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] newbk:
Yup, up and running. It's nice to get rid of TouchWiz. I did think I'd have more free memory though. That's probably a kernel issue... Dang I wish we had a boot exploit

Ok ih have a question. Am I able to install payed apps manually (TBackup/APKs) and they still pass the verification check? I ask because I have quite a bit of payed for apps and that's only thing stopping me from using this.

You should be able to install backups of your paid apps as far as I know, I don't know if they'll correctly link to the Play Store or anything.

How do I install this on a AT&T S4 running NC1 firmware which was just rooted using towelroot?

So far I have done the following:

1. Rooted

2. Installed SELinux mode changer

3. Changed SELinux mode to "permissive"

4. Installed Safestrap.

I can boot into safestrap without any problems. So once in there, do I install this rom into a different "slot" or into the "stock Rom" slot?

I am not used to safestrap...usually just use TWRP with unlocked bootloaders.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DeadlySin9:
You use the stock slot. ROM slots aren't supported with 4.4.2 yet.

To anyone who has this rom running,

how is it in general? Is it laggy or most stable(except for a few bugs)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ky5ever:
Cant the app encryption bypass tool on the MoDaCo toolkit let us install paid apps?

The Eclipse ROM, which puts a heavy AOSP theme on otherwise stock Touchwiz 4.3, also had the paid apps problem, but the bypass tool fixed it easily. Eclipse had this exact same problem with paid app encryption.

It seems to work for me, on my Verizon S4 running 4.4.2 bootloader and using SafeStrap 3.72.

The MoDaCo toolkit requires Xposed Framework, as it is an Xposed module, and requires SELinux be set to permissive mode on 4.4. Theres an app on the Play Store that can do that for you.

The bypass tool works by forcing apps to install in the normal user directory instead of /mnt/asec.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Rhymey:
gotta root, friend

edit: er... wipe.

Yes soft keys work, as does disabling the capacitive buttons. See this thread for instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2032117. You can disable the capacitive button lights with GravityBox.

Good catch, apparently setting SELinux to permissive is good enough and the encryption disabler isn't necessary. I've updated the main post to reflect.
