Greetings Folks

I am on MDK and I flashed and all went well except WIFI isnt working? Is there a fix or a zip I cna flash to address this?

Thanks

Just an FYi, doing a little SEARCHING goes a long way. I realized my problem and fixed it. (missing Custom Kernel)

Thanks again

I am having that problem. My alarm will not go off because it FC's before the sound. Then shows up like I snoozed it but when I try to cancel the '5min later' alarm, it FC's

Hey Huttinwabbits

Would you mind passing along info as to where how how you got that secmms.apk? I am having the same Issue as you described..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] huntinwabbits:
Here is the file. I just used ES File Explorer, turned on Root and copied over to /system/priv-app I renamed the old secmms.apk to secmms.apk.old and then pasted the new one. Then I changed permissions to rx-r-r and rebooted, then installed.

I think I originally got the file from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2676928

Uh Oh...

Alright, I think I may have screwed myself....

I was on MDK firmware and was running Echoe 28.1 and my flashaholic self got a little itchy and decided to give Chaos a try. Everything seemed to be going well until I realized that my Wi-Fi was not working.

On post #17, there is a Wi-Fi fix posted. I flashed that and all seemed well. I started going through the settings and setting everything up. The phone then started bootlooping. It would go through the splash screen and go to my lock screen and then would reboot. This repeated over and over again. It was late and instead of starting from scratch with Chaos again, I restored a nandroid of the Echoe rom that I was running previously.

All seemed to be well until this morning when I realized that I had no sound. Nothing through speaker or bluetooth. Attempting to adjust the volume locks up the phone for approx 2 minutes.

I realized that my firmware version has changed to NC2. I'm assuming that it came from flashing the wi-fi fix.

Is there anyway to go back to MDK or am I stuck with the NC2 and need to learn about safestrap and flashing some "modules" may fix my sound issues?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtfchuck:
I am fairly certain that flashing modules has no effect on firmware build. If you inadvertently moved up the firmware tree some other way, there is no way to return to MDK firmware build.

The fix probably updated your modem and nonhlos (assuming it was gigilies fix even though these partitions ultimately have little to do with WiFi) , shouldn't have touched your bootloader though. Go to this link, first flash retail mdk model + nonhlos zip, this will get your sound back. Then I would recommend upgrading to the latest modem by flashing the retail NC5 modem only zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jlhalz:
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

All is well with the world again after flashing the nonhlos.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GIGZ1971:
Two questions:

First why does SS not work when I boot this Rom..It will not reboot into SS recovery

Two every time I install this ROM I lose WiFi.

I am currently on NC5

****edit****

Found the wifi fix zip and realized that after installing SS all I had to do is reboot and wait for the screen to show up...[emoji1][emoji1]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshnat:
I like how this looks and runs. Two issues for me. One, com.android.phone FCs on boot a couple times, then settles down. Two, Wanam xposed exchange security bypass doesn't work. If I could solve these two, this could be my daily driver.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
Chaos is the business. Excellent work and thank you very much bruddah.

Jesus loves you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] saul1991:
I tried flashing on twrp and it failed. Anybody else have this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
if it fails on 2.8 thats because its not supported it should work fine on 2.7 or safestrap.

whats your error? if your on mdk you can try the international version an jrkruses patches im sure more info is available in his thread on international porting
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] saul1991:
Thanks man but I'm still on 2.5.0.2 twrp I don't remember the error but it just fails
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] saul1991:
Update

So I flashed the latest twrp and flashed the rom and went through the aroma process and I get stuck in a boot loop
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shag_on_e:
Oh wow, how have I not seen this ROM? I wish I had the data to download it! Aaaarrgh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
flash a custom kernel after installing... KT should work for you... make sure its a TW kernel :) guessing your on MDK which would mean the kernel should enable your wifi too but if it doesnt reinstall mdk modem hlos then flash just the nc2 or nc5 modem over that for best results
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] slyez:
Can anyone help with the alarm FC issue? I love this ROM, but cannot use it as a daily because I use my phone as my alarm clock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
theres a bazillion alarm apps available on the play store if you want to try one theres a lot of cool alternatives. otherwise replacing the app via safestrap's filebrowser would work. im in the middle of testing Chaos 3.0 too wont b much longer. when does the alarm clock fc for you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] slyez:
It is the same as described below from post #188:

I can probably make a video to show this. I did try to reinstall the ROM and same results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blitz_7:
How is the testing going on 3.0?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] djsbad:
Dude, seriously, why in the hell would you have REBOOT NOW automatically selected in aroma when you know damn well you have to go back into safestrap to install modules etc?! This has f#$cked my up so many times! Total bull****!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
pay attention???? its not hard to unclick a box and a lot of users are able to restart from there. theres many ways to navigate an install like this and if you did it once which I have done many times its not hard to click on the safestrap side boot option or to towelroot and reinstall safestrap from the rom then reboot and addon anything you forgot the 1st time. its pathetic you'd complain about something so petty and if your not a donator I really dont care what you have to say. I put in hours/days/weeks into bringing a port of this to Verizon that works fairly well glad to hear your only issue is a non-existing one.... i'll make sure the next time you install the ROM that its all you have to do is install it thats what I was aiming for with the last release....regardless youve wasted mine and everyone elses time by posting this and I'd appreciate it if you kept preferential criticism out of the thread unless you've donated to the development of the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pbman1953:
Yo djsbad, time for some respect for the people that give their personal time for all of us to have some fun! I have no idea of your ability and you may be some kind of wiz kid but at least Gigilie is taking his time, not yours, for the majority to enjoy the Android lifestyle. Yes there are hiccups along the way and I'm not going to whine how many times I've had re-do my phone back to stock but I'm still having fun and NOT complaining.

Go buy an Iphone. You'll have no one to complain to
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gimpy1:
I'm dl v 2.6 now, but just might wait for v3.:), probably not, though :D.

38% after about two hours. I doubt I will get a good dl. Probably have to wait until tonight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gimpy1:
Quick follow up. I downloaded the file yesterday. It was a little slow. It took five hours and two minutes for it to download. I did use "md5 checker". Both sums were green and showing 1.96 mb, so, I think it downloaded correctly. I then went into twrp, wiped it clean (wiped the data), then tried to install it via recovery. I got a failed message. I did not try it a second time. It was getting late. I was a little nervous. So, I reinstalled my old Rom. Then was up several hours trying to get it back as close to the old Rom as possible.

I am on a rooted Samsung galaxy 4 thru Verizon, mdk baseband with the eclipse Rom (not on safe strap).

Any suggestions what went wrong? And, is a version three coming out soon, because I think I will wait to try it again?

Dialer - default setting when opened

Hi All,

Does anyone know if there is a way to change the default setting when you open the dialer.. Right now when I open the dialer it defaults to "contacts". Is there a way to change it to default to "dialer (keypad)" or "logs" ? Any help would be appreciated and if the topic has been discussed before, can you please point me to the post.

P.S.

This ROM is AWESOME !!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dafonse:
Need some help

ok, after a long research day, and applying everything I have learned, its down to one thing now, albums, the albums and photo something doesn't work, any advice for this issue? Also every time I reboot i get a phone something fail, but then it goes away and i get signal, any idea what could be causing that lil hick up at start up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dafonse:
BTW, great work with this rom, its my very first rom on galaxy s4 and i love it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ffchampmt:
I am ready to make the switch gigilie but the download link in OP 404's!

I'm hoping that it's because you are updating to 3.0 and took it down [emoji1].

Any word on 3.0 and if not can we get a reup?

Sent from my Verizon NC5 Galaxy S4 w/ GEL and Xposed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thekidkid32:
Found a link on androidFileHost for 2.6, looking forward to 3.0!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
glad to hear your all enjoying the ROM. now pull up your skirts and buy me a beer!

thx 4 support

So this whole ROM making hobby of mines killing my relationship with my girl. She loved it at first when I'd get donations from those that were happy to have options but I've litterally gotten $5 in last two months so this might be my final CHAOS release. I put weeks and a lot of all nighters into this port. Added literally hundreds of new things to the ROM. theres now over 100 possible tweaks to choose from, new theme modifications thanks to myself and my buddy reggies cheek's work. Now you can pick your theme then pick a main background color and a layover or secondary background or dialog box color too. it makes for some pretty sick theme mods(see screenshots). still in early stages if anyone is an expert with the .pngs and can cleanup or fix anything they see wrong please post. Theres also AndroidL themed everything from MMS, Dialer, Calendar, KB, Icons, File Explorer,wallpapers etc so we can theme our phones all in material design. Or in the spirit of Xperia Z3, S5, Aosp light or dark, etc. Sound packs and system fonts from MIUI,AOSP,AndroidL,S5, HTC Sense and HoneyComb. All parts of the phone can be individually themed too. This is 1 sick ROM. I did have some issues theming our SecMMs properly so for now I'm including Smitten MMS which features sliding UI and will be the new standard very soon. Its far and above better anyway and can be themed on the fly to by android L or whatever UI your feeling. I also recommend choosing Stock options right now as I havent been able to test everything or all diffferent options for the Phone and a few might result in more than the usual 2 FCs that pop up for the phone every boot (cant for the life of me figure out whats making that happen) after the 2 FCs she purrs and they don't affect anything from what I can tell. if someone can fix plz let me know. my times limited now and I cant justify more releases without paypal support as I can't even pay for the phone line right now and thats my internet :/ anyway here it is: (Xperia Theme, Blue Background, Gray Secondary Background,Dark Stock all for choices) Screenshot Gallery for 1 of a 1000 possiblities

Install Via Safestrap, Modules for NC2/NC5 are burnt in no need to flash. It also has my SuperROOT script so no need to flash supersu just restart from the installer when done. If your using TWRP or another custom recovery you'll need to flash a custom kernel to get wifi / data.

S5 Launcher

Is there a way to get the S5 5x5 launcher for this ROM? Also, is there a way to get the stock S5 status bar and notification panel rather than the similar-looking one this comes with?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!

Getting bootloops on v3

Tried odex and deodex, both bootloop for me so far. I do a full wipe and also check the wipe option during aroma. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blitz_7:
I have tried 3 times to get this Rom to boot up but it only sits at the boot animation for 30 minutes. I have tried the first 2 times selecting different configurations then decided to just hit next on all the screens and I am getting the same thing. What am i doing wrong here? I am not complaining but I have been itching to try this rom for a while now.

edit: I am on Verizon using safestrap (NC5)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gimpy1:
When I try to install it via twrp. I get a failed message. It says it cannot open the zip (same as last time time when I tried to install it).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vdub2pt0:
Also getting stuck at the boot logo on v3. Douldn't get back to safestrap, Had to odin back to stock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gimpy1:
This time I also installed ktoonez' kernel (did not last time). I did a factory reset prior to trying to install it. I am on Samsung galaxy s4, Verizon. I tried to install it from my external sd card using twrp 2.5.02. On mdk, not safe strap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
my guess is upgrade TWRP. 2.5 is ancient. id say the script is only compatible with 2.6-2.8 but i'd go 2.7 or higher if you can
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
ok sounds like theres some issue but it is working for a lot of people... those of you that it fails for try installing over stock ncX with no wipe option. see if that makes a difference.

sorry about the inconvience and having to odin back guys.... testers said it was goodtogo and i didnt have an issue except those mentioned... i'll fix it soon as I can.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gimpy1:
I wondered about that. Will try it, thx.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] crevis24:
Just curious, but could the issues be the build #? The link directs you to 3.0 b23,but you have listed that it should link to 3.0 b25. Not sure as I haven't tried flashing the new version. Just checking
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blitz_7:
Thanks for the suggestion but I just tried as you specified and I still get stuck on the boot animation screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ascallop:
Same here :( Looking forward to installing though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
so has anyone managed to successfully flash this coming from stock NC4

I am gonna try flashing 2.6 first then going to 3.0 Build 25...

*fingers crossed* [MENTION=600147]THE[/MENTION] two people that where having problems question: did you use the "stock rom" slot

YOU MUST USE THE STOCK ROM SLOT WITH THE S4 OTHER SLOTS WILL NOT WORK!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blitz_7:
Yes I did use the stock rom slot. Let us know how the upgrade route works for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ascallop:
I'm on MDK and tried flashing two different kernels, same result.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blitz_7:
Can we get an idea of how the testers installed the rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
I didn't install it I don't wanna spend hours with odin when it doesn't work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gimpy1:
I am on Verizon with the s4. I currently have nitro's eclipse Rom installed. I use twrp to install the Rom. Both times I have tried to install chaos in twrp, I get, in red letters, "failed". It's unable to open the zip.

The first time I tried to install it (was not version three), I did not install a custom kernel. Yesterday when I tried to install version three, I did install ktoonez custom kernel.

I did uninstall twrp, then reinstall it from the play store, so I think I have the latest version, but, when I go into twrp, the version it shows at the top does say 2.5.0.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mitzael:
Eternal boot loop, tried with several themes and still not working. This rom looks pretty well but we cant even try it:(

da

mn

this is strange music guys n I'm sorry for the woes here.... its weird that it works great for me n I only have 2 versions now on my sd card the b25 and the 23 so I'm not using anything differently then you guys. NC2 everything with either Honeycomb/Domination/Grey Kat chosen as theme with stock phone and stock contacts / new mms (top choice) and either black or blue backgrounds I'm going to split out the framework coloring as an option but if someone could get me a boot log or similar I'd just need the end of it to gather some info as to whats causing this issue.... has anyone tried dirty flashing over old chaos or stock ncx yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shag_on_e:
Safestrap user here, about to flash my first ROM. I think I've read up enough now (Gnex flashing was so much simpler) to get it right. Just a thank you note to gigilie as I see you drop some serious work here for us. Heading over to PayPal after this note to support the cause. Thanks big guy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gimpy1:
Still not working for me (mdk). I downloaded your latest download (b25), also ktoonsez custom kernel and flashed them both in twerp. Ktoonsez flashed, but chaos did not. Again got the red failed message. It says can't open the zip.

Did do a factory wipe before installing (still trying to set up my phone[emoji3] ).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] slyez:
Should I try unselecting all of the tweaks? Maybe one or some of them do not like to be flashed? I think they are mostly all selected by default.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
ok and the md5 checks out on the file right? its just weird because this ROM was originally built for unlocked bootloaders for the international version and those users are all on twrp... double check the md5 for me. needs to be: 1c9f78d0c5f8e681510befd9e52d3ccd

I know it might be a ridiculous thing to wonder but has anyone ever used Safestrap on MDK? I dont see why it wouldnt work.

MDK users that have gotten the ROM to install (but apparently bootloop??) what are you guys using for recovery cause gimpy1 needs to know (I'm guessing its higher than his 2.5.2 were all on 2.7.1 technically). Also have you MDK users attempted a Stock kernel or close to stock like tals I dont know why this would help boot the ROM vs a custom but thats what Safestrappers are all forced to use.

[MENTION=4243910]shag_on_e[/MENTION] thank you brotha I appreciate it! since your a n00b to our locked down phones you might want to venture towards CHAOS 2.6 or BlackBox 3.2.3 or CarHD 27 or dOPE or gDux one of my more stable ROMs people had just been begging for this so I decided to start releasing my betas to the public for consumption and their direction....

those with the bootloops on Safestrap dirty flash over stock just to humor me? please post results.... any positive ones that got the ROM up would be nice to hear from too....

MDK users can also try flashing the Original ROM from the International Forum follow my link in the OP and then apply one of jrkruses' patches I believe #25 might work. More info can be found in his thread... this will autoport the ROM for you guys (basically changes APNs adds CDMA, LTE, a few Verizon must have files). You wont get any of my added bells and whistles but you'll still have the ROM. I'm not 100% certain but being this is an NG firmware release odds are pretty good.

[MENTION=1944621]slyez[/MENTION] most of these tweaks reside at the build.prop or init.d level and none of them should result in causing a bootloop unless your kernel isnt init.d comp or something which is impossible I believe.... I'm flashing with all default tweaks.

I'm going to work out another build here tonight just rework all that I can quick.... frustrations
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gimpy1:
I checked the md5 sum using the app md5 checker. Both of the md5's did turn green. Root explorer won't let me paste the md5 using my phone, but, it is the same number you listed in your answer above.

And as I said, I did delete twerp, then reinstall it from the play store. Even though I did that, when I open it up and go into its recovery, it does show the 2.5.0.2 at the top.[emoji52]

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

OK, I did some reading on the other thread you pointed us to in your OP. One thing I did read was that this should be downloaded on to the internal storage. I put mine onto my external storage card. The other thread infers that might cause problems. Do you think that might be my problem? Since twerp won't even open the zip? Maybe I should move it to my internal storage? (Will do that now and try to install it again when I have time--getting late). And gigilie, I will give you a small donation for your time and help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gimpy1:
Quick update. I did move it to the internal storage and tried one more time, with a factory default wipe. Still get the error message in twrp. Had to go back to my old Rom. This time, I did a nandroid restore from twrp, instead of reinstalling the Rom. Much easier and quicker this way :).

Sorry, I can't/don't know how to get you a log cat. Don't know where to update my twrp, other than from the play store, which I have done twice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shag_on_e:
TWRP is a recovery, what you're using from the market is an app that downloads and installs the recovery for you which obviously isn't using the latest greatest version. Here's TWRP's site for jfltevzw http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/181 always used dd to directly overwrite my recovery when flashing for this phone the command in terminal emulator would be: su {enter} dd if=/path/to/openrecoveryfilename.img of=dev/block/mmcblk0p21 . Then reboot to recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tennessee_titan:
Pardon the noob comment. Did I read somewhere that you could not use stock TWRP. Safestrap installation has a modified TWRP installation that is supposed to be the only one that works......
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shag_on_e:
If you're a safestrap user you won't ever flash a recovery. If you have the old unlocked bootloader you can flash whatever recovery you want without needing safestrap, I believe.
