[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeltingSnowman:
Actually you can't downgrade from 4.4.x to 4.3 because the bootloader is different and if you try you'll brick your device but you can flash any rom back and forth if is based on 4.4.x because the minor release are just small bugfix to the system. So actually what said theonecallednick it's not totally true.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] NWWADD:
Has anyone been able to integrate the S5 anti call interruption

Mini screen.

I hate when driving using gps or recording my daughter's

Graduation and someone calls and compleatly takes over.

Please help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
You know theres a "Incoming calls" selection in blocking mode? Just turn blocking mode on when you dont want to be interrupted
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] NWWADD:
I don't want to disable calls from coming in to the phone I just don't want them taking over the phone completely.

whatever you're in

the Galaxy s5 has a pop up screen that overlay any app your in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ShinySide:
So I forgot about a mod I came across in the International forums that actually enables it. Some people were claiming it worked great, few others said it was kinda buggy, Its actually really simple to do by decompiling the secphone and making a few changes. Itll only take like 5 minutes to do so if you want to post a copy of your secphone.apk I'll hook it up and you can try it out for yourself. Youre gonna have to be atleast rooted tho

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmithO77:
I own 2 9300's & I'm trying to flash the 4.3 font on the 4.1.2 Rom but I'm not seeing any difference. Am I able to flash the new 4.3 font on 4.1.2? I'm in the Google play store & on the 4.3 the text looks more bold & thick while the 4.1.2 looks skinny. I flashed the Roboto zip file everything went through but I'm not seeing any difference.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolhof:
No it doesn't work.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmithO77:
So there's no way to flash this font on 4.1.2?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolhof:
I don't know.

In the section "theme and apps" for the s3 i9300 are a lot flashable fonts for 4.1.

Search there.

Dans loki for life
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] StirCwazy:
Still on MDK, but no idea what's up. I'm running a modified version of some TW rom because I can't get my wireless data to function normal on a CM based rom. On a CM based rom my signal indoor at work (block building) is crap. Most of the time I look down at my phone it's got no signal and an ! in the signal bar area. Also the GPS is crap at work on a CM based rom. On a TW rom, signal never drops below 2 bars and GPS works without fail. It sucks because I can't stand TW but, I use what works.

Thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Triscuit:
Try out exodus, its been my daily driver for a long time.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] StirCwazy:
I've been running OF1 the past week or so, when I finally decided to try out some more 5.1.x CM based roms.

If you have the time, try testing out different modems, some work better for other people.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gpz1100:
Still on MDK, running the GPE software on this phone. Still on 5.0.1, new 5.1 just dropped and bugs are being worked out.

Next to CM probably the best rom for this phone, no bloat at all, but proprietary drivers for various functions like camera. Everything works except the compass is off by 180 deg (have this problem with stock software too, so not really a rom issue - fixable by flashing appropriate kernel).

Been running GPE since 4.4.4, going on a good year now. Can't see myself ever buying another samsung product again unless they eliminate TW. Xposed + stock gives plenty control over customization.

My 2¢ worth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Triscuit:
Then you won't be buying another Samsung lol I personally won't buy another Samsung due to them locking bootloaders.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheBadBen:
I still have an MDK S4, but I'm not using it. I figured I'd keep it as a backup for my Moto X. Somehow I don't see myself going back to it now though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Newcron:
I just came into an MDK S4 with GPE 4.4.4.

Can you point me to the thread for the ROM you're using (GPE Lollipop)? I found a couple of ROMs with GPE 5.1 but it looks like they're either really buggy or wouldn't install at all on Verizon S4 MDK. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ImpytheBiscuit:

I'm still on 5.0.1. 5.1 was released recently but may still have some teething pains.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Newcron:
Thanks. That's what I found, too. It doesn't look like they keep the link for the old version of the ROM in there.

In the mean time, I've been playing around with this new toy and this GPE 4.4.4 isn't too shabby at all. It's fast and battery drain isn't too bad. I think I'm okay just staying with this for a while.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dajakal:
I have MDK running Hyperdrive 4.4.2, and want to update to 5.0.x. Using TWRP, I tried the 0610 GPE ROM (linked above), but it kept bootlooping into recovery. Restored back to 4.4.2 ok, then tried stang5litre, but that won't boot either, it just hangs at the Samsung splash (unlock) screen (waited 60+ minutes for it, only way to quit was a battery pull). Is there something I'm missing to update to 5.0?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Triscuit:
Are you doing a full wipe beforehand?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dajakal:
I was doing a factory wipe, and I think I found the problem: my TWRP was too old a version (2.6). I flashed the latest 2.8.7.0 with Flashify (tried using TWRP Manager but it failed) and just booted into stang5litre. Will try the GPE next, but am more optimistic!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Triscuit:
That definitely was your problem,

Verizon S4 with OF1 build

I've been trying to locate the appropriate place to post my issue. Galaxy S4 VERIZON (damn them) with 0F1 build. I've got root, root check confirms. Flash Fire asks Do you have root and something about updating the superuser binary. Safe strap comes up disabled I hit the menu button and get nothing. Installed terminal emulator and typed su - enter then setenforce 0. Didn't change anything. If I could just get past that locked bootstrap I'm pretty sure I could install a rom, hopefully a cyanogen mod if I could find one compatible. I don't want a new phone or contract, but I'd like to take control of my device. What Verizon does is not right and I will not do business with them anymore. I'm a semi high-tech redneck from Austin, Texas and I could sure use some help. Trying to learn the ins and outs of development, but I've hit a wall on this.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zeb carter:
You can forget about anything other than a TW based rom. Without a major miracle, the bootloader is not going to be unlocked. Kexec might be possible but even that's a miracle of a more minor degree than unlocking the bootloader. Try anything else and you are likely looking at your phone becoming an expensive paperweight.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

So I am to understand that there is some type of rom that I can install on my Verizon S4 with an OF1 build? Point me in the direction I need to go to download the restore kernel and rom with some instructions, please. I shall be forever grateful Kemosabe!!!

LOL, thanks for checking. I fell asleep after pulling an All nighter the day before. I asked him today and he said he stayed up and postponed the install. I'm headed out of town so if he's still rooted when I get back I'll fix it.

I disabled Knox and some other apps, I probably need to do a restore because his phone was acting wonky.

Just wish there was a Note 5, S6 or S7 rom for the Sprint MF9. That bad boy is begging to have an update. My non contract V s4 is doing awesome with battery life and features however there are some bugs but not to bad. sure wish I could somehow clone the two and use both or for a dev to make a 5.1.1 + rom for the sprint MF9 so if anyone knows please share with me. THANKS Oh btw I prefer TW not AOKP ...don't know why just like TW better and of course will need to keep current unlocked bootloader with any 5.1.1+ rom like I did with the V s4 on MDK

This is what i am using. So much customization and it is blazing fast. He just released an aosp rom too with more features then the GPE one but i will stick to GPE :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
I think the one he just released is actually CyanogenMod based. CM is worlds different from AOSP. People often get the association of CM = AOSP but really that's not the case. AOSP supports VERY FEW devices (aka nexus devices only, not sure about GPE stuff). CM sources have support for a lot more phones, thus their code is used more commonly than AOSP. Just throwin that out there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] freakyguy88:
AOSP is stock android, straight from google. IIRC CM would fall under the AOSP category because it is built from AOSP source code. Someone correct me if im wrong
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
well.. yeah they start with AOSP. then they branch it out for hundreds of other devices, explaining the differences between AOSP and CM. also, the various tweaks and apps they include are differing factors
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] freakyguy88:
What rom are you running?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
Eclipse. I would run CM if i had MDK. but no i just had to have a phone that probably had it at one point but my stepdad's a prick and doesnt know a thing about roms or android.

i have the nc5 bootloader. safestrap. hard times man.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Joe_6pak:
Wow, I KNEW there was a reason I came over here! Was on AF for a while and the "All Things Root" forum dried up. Now I know why!

Been on MDK since (almost) Day 1. Rooted my S4 a week after buying it because I heard of an impending root-killing update coming fast down the pike, and for VZW that was surprising!

Running Hyperdrive 17.1 after over a year on stock. Feel kinda sorry for the Safestrappers - that looks a lot harder than just flashing a ROM!

I guess flashing was inevitable - just glad I can still do it. Old flashaholics never die, they just hibernate for a while!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] freakyguy88:
I had the same exact feeling from day one. I came from the droid bionic so i knew verizon would not let this slide. When the me7 update hit, i KNEW not to update, but mostly everyone was hit and it was to late.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
safestrap is a recovery, y'know. lol. its interface is basically TWRP but slightly different-looking. the similarities end there though.

safestrap is a GODSEND for us unlucky people (wasnt my choice unfortunately since my phone was handed down to me). the major caveat is we can only flash TouchWiz-based ROMs. Hyperdrive is one of the best, but i personally use Eclipse (probably gonna go back to hd soon).

also some quirks with safestrap: Hyperdrive, for example, requires flashing the Wifi modules for your respective baseband and SuperSU after flashing the ROM. This may change with RLS18 but right now you have to do that. it's not really difficult, it's just slightly more steps. besides, some ROMs require you to flash loki, so sometimes you guys dont have it all easy :p

Later, took that phone off the line and put the old dumb phone back on it, moved the new phone over to my unlimited data line. Worked for me.
