you will still have to use odin to flash the modems correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mxmr:
Yes. The modem tarball is flashed with Odin, and the ROMs are flashable zips, flashed in a custom recovery (philz, twrp, cwm, etc).

Mobile Odin is still up in the air about being able to use successfully is that correct

NG2 Modem

Anyone else having trouble getting the NG2 Modem to install?

Downloaded it, Using latest Samsung drivers on a Win7 x64 Laptop, Odin 3.07, Acted like it installed just fine, then auto-reset. Checked Baseband and still showed NAE. Rebooted to Download and tried again without Auto-reset. Again acted as if it installed just fine. Unplugged, held down power for 10 seconds to reboot, and again baseband still only shows NAE instead of NG2.

Pointers?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] guitardoc64:
Power off and boot to download. Always worked for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ndfan77:
Safe to Flash?

Haven't seen any success stories yet. Safe to flash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mxmr:
1. Power off your phone completely (do not reboot to download mode).

2. Using pc Odin (v1.85 or higher), place the modem only in the phone slot (or PDA - whatever works. I usually use the phone slot but others swear that PDA is the way to go)

3. Manually boot into download mode on your phone. Continue past the warning prompt.

4. Plug your phone into your pc

5. Verify that your phone is recognized by Odin, and that force reset and auto reboot are UNCHECKED.

6. Flash the modem.

7. Once it finishes, unplug your phone and manually reboot.

8. If it doesn't stick, try it in the opposite slot (phone vs PDA)

Basically just follow unknownforce's instructions in the OP of the firmwares thread.

Has anyone tried a dirty flash without wiping data?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] needmymorningcoffee:
Worked like a charm. I was already rooted on NAE. Flashed the update, and didn't even lose my data. Then proceeded to flash the modem. All is well. Thanks!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Dougrun:
Dirty flashed from NAE/mf9 after wiping dalvik and cache in philz, powered off, uploaded modem. powered off but it rebooted and started upgrading. went though upgrade, version says 4.4.2, modem says ng2, flashed deodexed hotspot, all is good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ndfan77:
Does it matter if the modem is flashed before the ROM?

Seems like it didn't in the past, but this time I tried to flash the modem with Odin 3.07 before flashing the rom and Odin fails saying there is no PIT partition. (I'm currently on NAE) Here's the full dialog FWIW...

UPDATE: The ODIN "no PIT partition" error was fixed simply by moving (unbelievably) the USB cable from a front port to a port on the back. I've used that port on the front with ODIN numerous times in the past. This sure doesn't make sense to me. Was then able to flash the modem and then flash the ROM. Everything seems to be working so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] trmitche2:
Wait, so GAPPS is NOT baked into this ROM as was stated in a recent reply? Does it just automatically download GAPPS & install them as part of the 1st-time startup process ("Android is upgrading")? If possible, I'd like to avoid having to grab individual GAPPS from the play store... Can anyone link me to the correct version of the flash-able zip file if the above is true (not baked into ROM)?

Then again, since I'm attempting a "dirty" install from my current stock Sprint ROM, which already has 4.4.2 GAPPS installed, will the apps just be there already, requiring no zip file install from TWRP, or one at a time downloads from the Play Store?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] crevis24:

I have never flashed gapps on a tw rom. Only on aosp roms. I didn't flash any gapps when I installed this. Remember this is a stripped down version of stock ng2. A lot of bloat ware has been removed.

All done - Hotspot hack not working though

Well thanks everyone - I am now rooted, have TWRP recovery installed, and have this Mostly Stock ROM installed (see 1st screenshot) and all functions (Wifi/Data/GPS, etc) appear fully functional.

HOWEVER:

When I go into the settings page to turn on the hotspot (the main reason I wanted to install this ROM), I get the error message stating: "You are not subscribed to the hotspot service. Do you want to see subscription options". (see 2nd attached screenshot)

What gives? This was the main reason I wanted to root, and certainly the main reason I wanted to use this particular ROM. Ouchie! Still very grateful, but any help to get hotspot hack working would be greatly appreciated. I know there are 3rd party apps that can hack hotspot function on rooted phones, but I wanted it baked in, hence my keen interest in this ROM. Please advise?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] trmitche2:
Stock Sprint & Samsung apps are also still present. So I'm guessing that my dirty install (not wiping data b4 flashing this ROM) must be why hotspot isn't working. Any thoughts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ehaalandtluk:
I'd like to bump my question since someone seems to be hijacking the thread. Thanks.

Thanks brother. Let me take a look at later. It shouldn't be to difficult to lighten them up a little.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] trmitche2:
Gonna wipe data & retry

Only thing I have to lose is a bit of convenience from having to reconfigure all my email/camera/home automation apps, so I'll see if wiping data prior to flashing accomplishes the following:

1. Gets rid of Sprint and Samsung bloatware (as advertised in the OP)

2. Makes Hotpot actually work without having to subscribe through Sprint.

I wish I wasn't flying blind here, but since I'm obviously annoying ("hijacking") other users, I'll just post my results, in the hope that it may help someone in the future when trying to find out if they need to wipe data before installing this (really cool) ROM.

[MENTION=2657184]eha[/MENTION]AL: Sorry for sounding like a jerk earlier, but your terminology is just not accurate. Hijacking is when a person asks for help on a problem that is completely unrelated to the intention of the original post. Since this OP is a ROM, all discussions pertaining to the ROM, and any problems experienced with it, are completely relevant to the thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nyfl2004:
Actually now that I look at it, it looks like there's two images in each of the toggles, one on top of another. Very strange.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mxmr:
Attached apk to bottom of post. Push to /system/app and set permissions to 644, then reboot.

This looks awesome, thanks so much for sharing this with everyone. Gonna look into baking this into mostly stock.

Google apps are already included in this rom. If you are coming from another rom, you'll need to clean flash (wipe data, cache, dalvik-cache, and system) for everything to work properly.

As stated above, you'll need to do a full wipe for everything to work properly. Since you already have root though, you can at least back up your apps/data/sms/etc before you wipe everything, to make the restore process a little easier.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mxmr:
1) Fortunately, those bugs were only affecting mostly stock. Refitted is the stock rom with a few added features, and will likely not need an update.

2) Has your AppRadio app been updated recently, around the time it stopped working? If so, have you tried reverting to a previous version? Have you tried wiping data and cache for the AppRadio app? Is it just affecting AppRadio, or are other apps or devices not working as well? If all else fails, pull a logcat and I'll see if I can snoop anything out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] trmitche2:
Thanks MX

You're the man MX! Already in progress. I did do a TWRP backup BEFORE I tried the *DIRTY* flash... do you think restoring that backup from TWRP would still work, or would it also restore all of the bloatware, etc.?

Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mxmr:
That TWRP backup is essentially an image of your phone at the time the nandroid was created. Restoring the nandroid will effectively erase what you have now and completely restore your phone the way it was at the time the nandroid was created. So if you had bloatware installed at the time you made the backup, it will be restored.

For restoring apps after a clean flash you're better off using something like titanium backup or rom toolbox. I have honestly never tried restoring only data from a nandroid, but in your situation that may work since the roms are so similar. However, I think you'll be better off restoring your data (apps, sms, etc) using Titanium backup or rom toolbox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] axs3543:
What file manager r u using
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] trmitche2:
OK, so now I'm really stumped. I wiped everything & re-installed the ROM from a clean slate. All of the bloatware is gone, as expected, which is awesome, but the official hotspot, whether turned on using the notification toggle, or from the main "settings" screen, is still prompting me to contact Sprint to subscribe to the hotspot service.

Now what? I'm sorry that I'm having so much trouble, but this time, I did it the fool-proof way: I wiped *everything* just before flashing. Yet I still don't have a working hotspot hack.

Can anyone suggest any other steps, besides using a 3rd-party app from the Play store? Again, very sorry.... Just confused & frustrated.

*SO* close, & yet so far away..... LOL
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 2WhiteWolves:
I would try flashing the hotspot mod from OP, thru TWRP, wipe cache/ dalvik-cache.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mxmr:
Holy crap. I dropped the wrong services.jar into 1.3. That was my fault!

Flash the hotspot mod in the op as whitewolves suggested. Reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, flash and (optionally wipe cache/dalvik again) reboot. It should work now.

I am reuploading 1.3 with correct services.jar so hotspot will work. If you downloaded 1.3 and your hotspot doesnt work, just flash the hotspot mod in the OP. Sorry for the oversight :eek: whoops
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nyfl2004:
Try this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8ftapnjmgcp3u4o/hotspotmod_ng2_deodexed.zip?dl=0

First do a backup backup, then wipe cache and dalvik, then install zip. That should do the trick
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] trmitche2:
OK, will do. No worries my brother, & thank you VERY much for the PM.

1 quick concern/question: Is there not a potential issue here with odexed versus deodexed versions of the hotspot hack due to 1.3 (which is what I have installed, 1.3 all-inclusive)?

Not sure if 1.3 is deo or not, but are u saying just go download the current stand-alone hotspot hack zip from the OP & flash it from TWRP? Will there be *any* odex issues with doing so?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] 2WhiteWolves:
The hotspot mod well only work with Deodexed, not with odexed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] nyfl2004:
As [MENTION=4459407]mxmr[/MENTION] has just posted. Just flash the hotspot mod in the OP. You won't have any issues
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mxmr:
Mostly Stock and Refitted are deodexed already. You'll be fine flashing the hotspot mod in the OP.

Edit: Just reuploaded Mostly Stock 1.3 with correct services.jar, so hotspot will be working now! Updated OP with proper links.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] trmitche2:
It worked! Hotspot fully functional! You are THE MAN!

... Now, off to read all the posts in this thread about the overlayed theme that is apparently able to add many S5 features and appearances to this bad-ass ROM.

This ROM will now be my daily driver, at least until there is a stable Lollipop ROM, either official TW or CM/AOSP K assuming the AOSP ROM's *finally* have resolved the issue of having to get a GPS fix immediately prior to flashing the AOSP ROM. That's the boat I've been in for the past 4 months (no GPS on my S4, but the KitKat hotspot hack allowed me to tether my Samsung Galaxy Tab2 7" to my phone when I needed turn by turn directions.)

THANKS AGAIN!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ehaalandtluk:
Thanks for the response!

"AppRadio" is actually not an App on my phone itself but it's the media content sharing system of the Pioneer Head unit on my car. It would usually connect fine, before I had both "phone audio" and "media audio" enabled. Now, in the last few days, "media audio" will not enable itself. Pandora has a data link to the system, calls go through the system, but media audio will not enable itself or play through bluetooth.

I've tried a different phone with the head unit (Iphone 5) and it worked fine.

You are in read only mode. You have to change it to read and write
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] axs3543:
Thanks for your response. Any ideas on how to change it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mxmr:
Ah, should've googled it first. Looks like a pretty cool receiver. How do you like it?

Have you checked under the Settings-->Bluetooth and pressed the gear next to AppRadio to see if you can enable media audio? Try unpairing AppRadio with your phone if you can't, and then repair. See if that does anything. Try wiping cache if those don't work.

If you continue to have issues pull a logcat and i'll look at it.

Do you have access to a PC? Use adb to push the file. This is assuming you have windows. Make sure you have the proper ADB drivers installed. See this page if you don't.

Once you verify you have ADB installed properly, and USB debugging is enabled under developer options on your phone, open a command window (shift+right click --> open cmd window) in the folder you have SBrowser_SPR.apk on your PC and type the following:

adb shell "su" "" "mount -o remount,rw /system"
adb push SBrowser_SPR.apk /system/app
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/SBrowser_SPR.apk

Reboot and you should be good to go. You may need to grant shell root permissions on your phone when you type the command, so make sure your phone's screen is on and unlocked just in case.

Edit: I'm on linux, these commands work for me. You may need to use back slash \ instead of forward slash / for the pathnames (e.g. \system\app\SBrowser_SPR.apk instead of /system/app/SBrowser_SPR.apk), but I think you'll be fine if you just copy and paste the commands as is.
