I was on Eclipse too...forever! I just used the standard kernel during installation. Sorry I can't be of more help...

Ahhhhhh I'm losing my mind not being able to get my MMS messages......anyone, anyone??????????????? Where is everyone, anyone? I really like this ROM so I don't want to switch but not getting my MMS messages totally sucks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Keekers:
I didn't even mess with any settings but my calls are going straight to voicemail and when I try and call nothing happens...I'm TOTALLY not trying to complain I just need some help here. - never mind. hardware issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ZBrink:
I have a Verizon S4 with 4.4.2 NC5. I tried to install your ROM using safestrap but it is stuck in a constant boot cycle. The setup page where the "select language" comes up but it will not allow me to select or press anything, the it reboots after maybe 10 seconds then repeats endlessly.

I have rebooted into recovery mode, wiped the cache partition and done the factory reset yet it keeps rolling right back into the same "select language" screen then the cycle begins again.

I really need help please.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fatapia:
works but doesnt

got wifi to work with nc2 modules, nc5 wouldnt work no matter what but now my LTE signal isn't displaying properly on the signal indicator. It works, can makes calls and texts, data works as well. Also anything involving data besides the stock browser does not work. no clue why, gonna have to drop by to a different rom since I need this as a daily and cant download an app I need for work. gonna flash back later and try it out again. it's smooth AF

great work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
Rom looks great! tried the domination theme! with nexus font/icons/sounds dark hangouts s5 boot animation all work good it seems so far! you got a beast on ur hads gigilie!:victory:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tjhooker4:
Did you just wipe and install the ROM or do we need to flash modules/SuperSU before booting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
I would always flash supersu when installing a new rom with 3.72. I moslty flash supersu and nc2 wifi fix by gigilie
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
It's not critical to flash SuperSu if you forget. Use Towel Root and install SuperSu from the Play Store
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AdamIsYou:
MDK

Just wanted to post that this flashed fine on MDK

Only thing is I made sure to was running a TW 4.4.2 rom before I flashed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
Anyones signal bar not working? tried the honeycomb and black and grey kitkat themese and it showed i had no signal but i did? odd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
I'm having same issue. Signal bar shows no signal but can make calls and text. Wifi works. I cant use data so i cant help on that regard. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] danveB:
What rom do you guys suggest me for aosp feel? Either chaos, purified, or eclipse TW? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tjhooker4:
I'm very interested in this ROM, but before installing I had a few concerns. Could someone who has used this ROM as a daily give me some input regarding:

1, How is the battery life, specifically compared to Hyperdrive?

2. Is it true that data and/or wifi won't work with NC5 modem?

3. I'd read someone say that GPS wasn't working for this ROM - is this true for evetyone or just a one off problem?

4. Are there any bugs someone should know about before installing?

Thanks a million to anyone who can answer these questions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
Havent tried HD 17 yet but 16 wasnt very good for me.

Wifi works fine for me i just flash gigilies wifi nc2 generic fix file. Data i dont use so cant help but signal icon shows no signal for me even when i have one.

Not sure about GPS havent tried yet.

No other bugs ive encountered.

back up ur current setup and try chaos u can always restore it lol just make sure to flash supersu too after. Atleast i always do lol. LOTS of Options to Customize lol crazy amount lol :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
i cant compare to hd17 been a while since i played with hyperdrive i installed it and ran a benchmark at 26224 and 26748 then put chaos on and got 27894 and 27940 not quite as fast as my gDux (29140) but the 2nd fastest for verizon. wifi works you just need to flash the right modules and yes you can flash my nc2 modules over nc5 modem should work fine.. gps works for me as well... havnt heard any problems with it besides the 1. the lte bars sometimes wont show up properly in terms of signal strength... new version will be out soon hopefully addressing the few bugs ive found. otherwise it scores seem better than ive seen or tried myself and ive tried or seen everything ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] adamklo:
After flashing I got a constant 'process.android.phone' FC. WiFi/GPS did not work. I wiped and reflashed using a different theme, as suggested, same problems, only that time I also lost root.

I'm using your 1 File Flash to re-obtain root, then I'm restoring my debloated stock ROM.

Using your 1FF, it booted and when it got to the Setup Wizard, I had a bombardment of phone, media and keyboard FC. I tried Vol+Up to reboot into recovery, but that just made the phone restart, bypassing recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
adam this is because your technically dirty flashing. any FCs are a result of this. restart phone to recovery after installing a ROM or Odin image and factory data reset. this will solve all your issues bud.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
"1. Make sure your phone is on a rooted NC2 or NC5 system with Safestrap 3.72. Or on MDK with a custom kernel installed"

I am on mdk with no custom kernel installed on my phone. Is that really needed though? Been flashing a few roms already via TWRP and a custom kernel wasn't needed...

The options provided in aroma caught my interest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Is it needed if you want it to boot, obviously if you're coming from a 4.4 tw ROM you already have the right kernel installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] taz1458:
Going to safely assume we cannot use the 3g4g toggle thing? It FC on me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] taz1458:
Can confirm VZW lte bars don't show up. I'm running SS. Love it so far though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jetsman:
Ok so I've followed all the steps rooted with towelroot, installed supsu, installed busybox, installed safestrap. Can't get it to boot into ss. Any recommendations would be great thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
I'm assuming you have a Verizon S4. If so there is an extra step involving Terminal Emulator. Watch the YouTube video; it's about 4 minutes into it.

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BLHZfPwLkPM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jetsman:
Yeah I did that as well
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
You need to Uninstall SS, run the script in Terminal Emulator, and Do Not Reboot. Reinstall SS 3.72 and then install Recovery. SS status should show "installed"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsitalon1:
Wanted to try this badly, but it won't boot... Maybe missing something here.

Current ROM is omni 4.4.4 on NC5. Using TWRP 2.7.

After flashing this ROM, it gets stuck on boot animation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] toknitup420:
Does the splash screen come up on reboot. Cuz on verizon the safestrap 3.72 app doesn't fully function. You have to manually reboot to recovery after hitting install. Then enter safestrap via the splash screen.

Sent from my sexy s4. Oooooooooh you know you like it. Go on and give that thanks button a little push. You know you want to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:


---------- Post added at 12:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 AM ----------

Hopefully you did a Factory Reset and wiped the phone before flashing. If this was a clean flash you might have a bad download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsitalon1:
Absolutely, wiped and reset, re-downloaded and tried different themes. No difference. Phone freezes on boot animation until battery dies.

Any other ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jetsman:
Nope
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
Do you have success with other Rom's?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsitalon1:
Yes, no problem with other ROMs. I'm on Omni 4.4.4 as I type this message.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jake.99x3:
Everything is working for me except wifi. I flashed nc5 modules also
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
I'm not familiar with Omni. What is the base firmware? There could be a conflict with Chaos.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsitalon1:
Not sure I follow. My radio is NC5 because I updated months ago. The phone is one of the original Verizon MDK units that could be rooted and unlocked. Omni is based off of 4.4.4, but unsure if it's CM based.

How could there be a conflict when I'm wiping the system and data partitions when flashing Chaos?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
You will need to downgrade to 4.4.2 firmware if you you want to run Chaos. There are very few 4.4.4 Rom's that will work on MK2 Bootloader phones . CM and TW based Rom's don't play well together.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] taz1458:
Idk if this helps us, but echoe fixed the signs bar issue. Here is the file. Note. I did not flash it, just merely trying to help y'all out. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358559322
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsitalon1:
When you say firmware, are you talking about the radios?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
Baseband / Modem = Radio

Firmware = I545VRUAMDK, NC2, NC5, etc.

KitKat 4.4.4 is probably not compatible to downgrade to 4.4.2. This is why Chaos will not install. Make a Nandroid backup of your current Rom, Odin back to MDK Stock OS, and work your way back up to Root, Recovery, Gogolie's method of keeping your MDK bootloader and flashing NC2 / NC5 firmware.

This would be the logical path if you want to run 4.4.2 based Rom's in your current state.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jake.99x3:
Wait if this guy is mdk and Loki than he should be able to just flash through cwm/twrp. If not he can't Odin back to mdk. He can downgrade to mk2 flash up to nc5 using gigilies method.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
Surge has method to do this but the instructions are specific and must be followed to the letter. Either way the user has to downgrade to 4.4.2; whichever path is taken.

Edit: If the MDK bootloader is intact there are resources to Odin back to Stock. Also there is always the possibility the Data, current Rom firmware is corrupted to some extent. Odin flash will give phone a clean slate to start with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
Anyone try this on this rom? Wonder if it works.:cowboy:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jetsman:
Ok so after following the towel root instructions and getting supersu then downloading busy box then typing the script in terminal then installing safestrap I can't get the phone to reboot in recovery. I've done Manuel reboot and can't get it to the splash screen or even stock recovery. I was on hyper drive 17.1 before this and had no problems. Any recommendations would be great. Thanks. I'm thinking time for odin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Haligan:
Anyone run Eclipse and then switch to Chaos? Eclipse runs better and lighter that stock. How is Chaos?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsitalon1:
This is what I was thinking....

Admitedly, I've flashed more times than I can count and this is the only ROM that won't boot for me.

I was on MDK and Loki'd, and I'm using TWRP 2.7.x.x.

How can I verify I'm still on "firmware" mdk?

I tried downgrading the radio to ME7, but that didn't help either.

I'm not a complete noob, but I'm lost as to why I can't get this to boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
theres an app u can download from play store telling u phone info try that bud.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
Here's the link for the App mentioned:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en

Also what other Rom's have you flashed successfully since Omni that are working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsitalon1:
Thank you!

The app reports the following:

Firmware - MDK

Baseband - MJ7

Would this not mean I should be fine installing Chaos if I'm using TWRP 2.7.x ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 66gt350:
You should have no problems installing Chaos.

Like you, I'm running an S4 with MDK and TWRP 2.7.1.0

I installed Chaos and it booted with no problems. Here is what I did:

1. Wipe clean. I wiped Dalik Cache, System, Data, and cache

2. Installed Chaos, choose what options I wanted.

3. Before rebooting, I installed Ktoonsez kernel for TW 4.4 dated 6/19/14, since the OP stated to install a custom kernel.

It booted up fairly quickly, under 5 minutes and I'm at the setup screen.

Hope this helps!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsitalon1:
Ahh...that Might be it..Let me go grab that kernel and see if that helps! I'll report back shortly.

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

That was it. I'm an idiot as I didn't see teh note about requiring a custom kernel.

Sorry for the noob mistake, and thank you for your assistance!

Now I can get about giving this Rom a try :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jake.99x3:
Go to your about phone. If you still have twrp you re safe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
I can confirm the signal fix file from jds3118's echoe v26 thread in this forum fixes the issue with no signal showing up. it does after flashing it that file now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Haligan:
So many options, any suggestions on my first setup of Chaos rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] taz1458:
Just curious, can someone tell me what the default dpi is?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
Just to double check. When in TWRP, there's an option to add more zips to flash (or something of the sort). So I can select this rom, then choose the kernel to flash afterwards with that option and I should be good to go right?

(mdk build with twrp installed running AndyBones' BoneStock Rom v1.1.3 on 4.2.2 right now)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 66gt350:
Yes, that is what I did. I did not have the installer auto-reboot, I went back into TWRP and saw that the kernel did install. Then I hit the reboot button in TWRP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
Okay cool, thanks for the info. I might try out this ROM later tonight then. Since I want a really lightweight KitKat ROM that allows me to choose what apps that can be pre-installed on my phone. Is there a "long-press menu/back option to kill app" function available? Also, are carrier labels present on pulldown and lockscreen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsitalon1:
Really liking the Rom so far!

The only problem I've really seen is with an app named "Screen Standby"

When I activate it the phone crashes and gets stuck on the bootloader.

Pulling the battery will allow it to boot normally.

At this point, I'm unsure if it's the Rom or kernel. Anyone else use this app?

Unfortunately, I have a need to use this app very often.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
More than likely its kernel related.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fdigl:
I lost data connection when I flashed this, so I used ODIN back to stock. Still no data, should I be concerned? Is there a fix? I'm on the NC5 bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Haligan:
Installed Chaos and had no wifi/data. Odin back to stock, to flash wifi fix do you add it the list or Di reboot and flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
Wipe.

be sure and wipe ppl. do a full system wipe before installing. if you want like many SS'ers whether or not your on Safestrap or TWRP (MDK) you can flash my wifi NC2 fix or NC2 modules over NC5 for wifi/data and matching modem this alleviates any issues with wifi / data not working it seems :) PS NO BOOTLOADERS INCLUDED
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
If you try flashing this file (signal fix and toggle fix) made by jkruse and jds3118 http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358558583

It should correct the signal Icon, atleast it worked for me. Hope it helps!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jake.99x3:
I can tell you that the aosp/domination theme looks great. I tried to make mine look as close to aosp as possible. Runs like a champ and the only problems I've had is messaging crashes when receiving or sending pics
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
Anyone get any random reboots? i had two yesterday odd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
any reason why my wifi isnt working at first boot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Haligan:
Mine did not work after first boot also. I had to flash his Wifi fix listed on the second page, post #17.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
was just about to edit that post lol

wifi fix wroked !!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] droidkill3r:
I'm on Verizon s4 on googlies 4.4.2 nc5 go into SS and try to install and it fails
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jcratcliffe_:
Sounds like a bad download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] droidkill3r:
Yea that what is was. I deleted and downloaded it again and now it works great
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
Anyone have trouble with the alarm clock? it crashes when the alarm is supposed to go off?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
i know she works fine with xperia theme and domination themed what are u using bro? course im using my v5 but it shouldnt be much different i'll b posting it online later today if i can ever get this stupid 800ma charger to get me some juice.,... maybe i shouldnt be wifi tethering a house of 5 with 2 tvs using netflix that might make it charge faster lol

in unrelated news if anyone by chance knows how to defeat my newest enemy -110 install app errors for a different ROM port please fill me in I figured something with permissions folder but no luck n its making me not happy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
i was using the domination theme lol set alarm for 5:16 am to test since it didnt go off and when it did i got a error pop up lol good thing i had a backup alarm. Sweet cant wait for V5, when you think youll drop that gigilie?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pbman1953:
I gave it a try and it installed fine but even after:

modules- & fixes -

no wifi

no GPS

no network- no signal bars

Thanks for any insight
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
pb buddy! so no FCs along with those issues? weird did u do a full wipe in safestrap before? im kinda wondering what your system settings are right now man. can u go into playstore and grab the samsung * phone * info from vndnguyen run it screenshot the info about your base and bootloaders and radio and post it or pm me with it cause somethings out of line we'll get you fixed up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pbman1953:
Sadly I'm loosing faith in the custom Rom game. I have the utmost respect for the developers that are giving up so much time. Probably personal and family time to feed the junkies out there waiting anxiously for the next best thing. My hats off.

I love it too and its fun but the frustration is getting to me. I know what you're to say, " you knew what you were in for" and you're right. Now with that said and since the "G" is always willing to help I'd give it another try, why not

Some back ground on your question, I did a full wipe twice- D Cache, cache, data & system. But at this time I'm back to a rooted nc5 via the Surge method. It works.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pbman1953:
Can't say enough how thankful i am!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
im not familiar with his files anymore basically I need to know what your bootloader is and what your baseband is.and if you did a full system wipe before installing nd what themes did you go with?? sorry lots of detail but as you can see the ROM works for most users if they install it on a blank canvas with the proper bootloader/modem/hlos
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pbman1953:
\

Did the screen shots show you what you needed? If not where would I look for what you wanted

I think I used the KK, grey theme
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
Anyone noticed that the signal icons never change to show you the strength? Domination theme
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
Back up your rom and try flashing this [MENTION=1949695]jrkruse[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4304370]jds3118[/MENTION] (echo rom) made this.

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358559322

It worked for me :) it was designed for the echorom v26 but it seems to work on chaos also

---------- Post added at 09:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 AM ----------

I also noticed [MENTION=3618916]gigilie[/MENTION] put up the new chaos rom v5 on his AFH last night. Hes probly still testing it but its there I guess to try it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docluv01:
Hey guys, I'm on NC5 with SS installed.

Running latest release of HD, which seems to work well, but I like what I'm reading about chaos, and the theming.

I've read through the threads, and to summarize, this is what I've found:

- DO a full wipe

- flash ROM

- Flash the wifi-fix (gogolies-wififix-VZW-FN2-NC2-w-modules-SS)

- F;ash the SIgnal Mod (S4_Echoev26_S5MODPART2_VZW_070714)

Did I forget something?

Also, in reading, it seems some were having GPS issues, FC on MMS when receiving a pic, and FC on alarm....is this tru for all?

Thanks agaiun!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
Yup all those, id also flash supersu to be safe, always safe than sorry lol. I did get the alarm. When I flashed the signalmod fix i waited till after i booted up the rom once thne booted into SS and flashed the mod.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docluv01:
Thanks!!!!

sorry, I like having a summary: :)

- DO a full wipe

- flash ROM

- Flash the wifi-fix (gogolies-wififix-VZW-FN2-NC2-w-modules-SS)

- Flash SUpersu

- Boot into ROM

- Boot into SS

- Flash the SIgnal Mod (S4_Echoev26_S5MODPART2_VZW_070714)

Seems easy enough.

The Alarm issues, is that with teh built in alarm? I use another alarm app....

Also, did you get the MMS issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aknotts415:
yup built in alarm lol. Nope on the MMS i have the cheapest indvidual plan verizon had for a while this year no date(250MB) so i keep mine off so i cant sent MMS lol I just use FB messenger.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docluv01:
haha, ok, ill give it a try when I get home...

APpreciate it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jcratcliffe_:
I think the download is corrupt for that new version... Anyone else get that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bonfire62:
I'm having no problems after the signal bar fix,, just gps. Anyone have any solution for it yet? I read on previous pages that the gps patches didn't work so I haven't tried those yet. It just says searching using gps...

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
Ya it fails to flash
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Just downloaded this ROM. Here is what happened.

- Running NC5

- Rooted

- SafeStrap 3.72

- Installed ROM

After this I got stuck in a bootloop with no option to get back into SS. I had to ODIN back to stock then re-root the device and install BusyBox, SS all over again.

Not complaining, just an FYI.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
Ya my gps won't lock either
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
is that with a wipe first bro?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
Ya that method wouldn't work. I got it working anyways.

Gigilie what's up with that v5 on your host site?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtfchuck:
Greetings, I just installed this rom. I presume that Xposed framework is baked in, because when I tried to install the .apk I got an error msg that it was already installed. I cant find the icon or any way to access the framework or modules. Am I doing something wrong here? I did full wipe prior to install. TIA

Please disregard. Found it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Yes that is with wiping the Cache, Data, Delvak, and system.

This is on my girls phone btw. I have the S5 and we are just getting around to ROM's lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
Ya u found it baked into the Chaos RomControl right? I dont think it will be updateable there btw might have to use alliance manager to flash install apk to system to update xposed when an update comes out... well see tho
