Thank you

Ok, I've been trying this process, so basically just flash it as if I was going from 4.4.2 to OC7?

Do you have a download link to the stock kernel to flash? That's probably why it wasn't working.

---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------

I understand, I tried the whole process fresh multiple times from ODIN NE3 on.

I'm still having trouble getting this AT&T i537 to flash this i9295 ROM, the versions do not match. But then I'm seeing people on this forum that have said they had it running, did they just have a i9295 on AT&T?

Is there no way to flash this ROM on the i537?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] cyberghoser1:
Hey people, sadly my main phone went stolen, and now im left with my old samsung s4 active. bought a new authentic battery too, since it was so cheap. Anyway, I tried so many roms, all seem to have a major bug here and there, thus ruining the daily use. In this rom for axample, can't change wallpaper, it says application is not installed, the s6 port one is great but when you download an application, it show 2 icons of it in the screen, and you cant remove them, its annoying.

So decided to go with AOSP 4.4.2 which seems to be the most stable of all, but I wanted to use lollipop.

Anyway, if anyone can recommend me the best possible rom for this phone would be great.

Thanks to the developer of course for all the hard work, without a custom rom this phone is useless.

Edit: Ok managed to make the rom usable, installed and removed addons etc, well its going good overall.

I dont get why this phone gets so hot and battery drain, a brand new one, anyway thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
The development of this thread is moved to the 9505 forum and you can use that one with a masterpatch available in the downloads section of that ROM thread. A new version is in the making that is currently only a donate only version while the free version should be out in about 2 weeks or so.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] cyberghoser1:
Oh, I should have looked at that but prefered Imperium, and it was hellish bad, I will move to that thread and try. Maybe Ill donate too, since its my main phone now for some time, I try to make it as stable as possible, the battery drain is the only remaining problem, heat issue is kinda better with your rom. Thanks again.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
I am very close to finalising the ROM before final release of the free version on the 9505 thread with a materpatch for 9295 having a full working ux camera app. The new version (free) has extra security features due to people making copies of the ROM and thread and sharing it without referring to our XDA thread. The free version of the ROM will only work through activation of your device serial number (starting with R and having a length of 11) that you need to obtain while you are on stock or stock based ROM from settings-->about phone-->status. On ASOP or lineage you can use Phone info Samsung app from playstore and get the Samsung serial number.

You can send the serial number on the Telegram group. This group is only for you to send us your serial number

*Please dont repeat your serial number*

https://t.me/JARSerial

Those who have reservations in sending their serial number on the Telegram group can send it to me by PM.

Do NOT send your serial number on this thread
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Last day for users to send their serial number in order to avoid being left out from the next release
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
New ROM has been updated on the 9505 thread. Those who have provided their serial number will be able to boot it with the masterpatch from the below link to be flashed before first boot.

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] ZeroZorro:
Thanks for your effort!!

Short question, where to check if the provided serial is 'activated' after providing it?

And for installation on S4Active (9295) i would like confirmation these are the right steps and right order?

1. Reboot into TWRP and Clear/Wipe

2. Flash v6.0 9505 ROM from within TWRP

3. Flash Aroma 9.0 from within TWRP

4. Flash Masterpatch 6.0 from TWRP

5. Reboot > Smile > Enjoy

This will do?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Yes those are the steps for installation. Additionally you can refer to installation instructions from post #1 (only addition is to flash masterpatch before first boot.

If you have given your serial number after release of the ROM then you need to wait for a week or two before the next upload and announcement of the upload
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] dziubson:
I am also interested in testing - I sent my serial number via Telegram. By the way I wanted to ask:

1. is it worth changing and is Kernel for S4 Active included in the ROM package?

2. Should I upload the kernel package myself?

3. Does the package "Imperium_LL_Kernel_v2.5a_port_4_S4A-150804.zip" contain the last public version of the Empire LL Kernel v5.8 FINAL?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
The kernel included in the ROM is for I9505. You need to flash the masterpatch from a few posts above. This includes my jrr kernel built from I9295 sources that is more stable. If you want to flash the imperium kernel ported for I9295 you can.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] wilsonhlacerda:
GOOD NEWS for our S4 Active I9295!

If you haven't seen yet, the member arco68 has released Android 9, Pie, LOS16, for our devices:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-active/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-s4-active-t3948246

Thanks anyway JASONRR for all his work on previous ROMs! And now we can even have very new Android version to our old (but good!) device.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Vattu:
I edited my hosts file myself, and deleted 2 lines. The app works as it should now. Thanks for the tip, and I'm sorry I blamed your rom. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] ZeroZorro:
I left my dual boot to try this ROM clean and it works great so far...still have some questions maybe you guys can point me in the right direction?

Tapatalk not working, can't login.

when using TBackup restore with data i can login but not functioning very well.

Is this ROM related or S5? ;)

Recording calls...i saw that is was incorporated in latest update...how do i initiate it, or do i need an app or module for it to work?

In the meantime i will do some more testing and report back!

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
This again is related to the hosts file, you can edit the host file and remove all entries having tapatalk.com

For call recording you need to flash the 01 update for version 04 and you will see the record button in the dialer. Recorded files are stored in the /sounds folder on internal sd card
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] ZeroZorro:
Thanks..!

Already tried editing the hosts file and had to re-install the app after that to be able to get to the login screen. After putting my Username and Password the circle keeps spinning but nothing more...eventually a FC.

I installed the 01 update (of course ;) but didn't notice the record button, I will look for it again and report back.

BTW this ROM is great, snappy and (yeah I am a strange guy) I loved the Sammy keyboard and it's clipboard. I work a 80-100 hours a week, but will try to leave some useful feedback inhere [emoji28]

My hesitation to go 'back' from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 is blurred already

Thanks for your effort into this [MENTION=5266778]JASONRR[/MENTION] !
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
There are several entries of tapatalk in the host file, attached is a flashable zip after removing those entries. I have tested it myself and tapatalk works fine on reboot (mine was a fresh install from playstore).

The call record will be replaced with the add call button on the left hand side in the dialer when you make a call (where end call is in the right)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] ZeroZorro:
Flashed this and it works! Strange, thought I removed all entries but must have missed some, well...

Call record button also found, great!

Thanks again [MENTION=5266778]JASONRR[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Glad to know that it works and you found the call record button.

Always hit the thanks button rather than typing it out whenever someone helps you
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] ZeroZorro:
Another question:

What steps to take when an app doesn't work?

For instance when i try to change wallpaper to Screen Info Live Wallpaper is says: 'app not installed' (but is is).

How to narrow down the problem if re-install doesn't work?

Just asking this cause otherwise every time an app doesn't work I have to ask instead of looking for the answer myself, which obviously everybody prefers I guess ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Live wallpaper is not part of ROM but included in the aroma addon package, you can install it from there. Most of the bloatware removed from the ROM other than apps available on playstore are included in the addon package.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Update 02 for version 04

Update posted in OP, major change is some init.d scripts are removed as these were eating battery (as complained by srDosaps in the Q&A thread) without any visible performance boost.

random reboot/shutdown

Hi there,

Is it my phone or are others also experiencing random reboots/shutdowns of the phone with version 4 update 2?

Best wishes,

Christian
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] aq_aq:
wifi

hi

thanks for this great ROM, just i've tried everything but the wifi still not working, any help please.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Hi Christian,

No issues at my end, I am currently on version 4 update 2, if you can take a logcat and send it to me I can take a look. alternatively you may try a clean install.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Can you let me know which firmware and modem you are on. Also did you try flashing the NE5 modem from the link in OP twice as per the instructions in the txt file available in the link.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] resofty:
Awesome work mate. Best ROM for this device!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] aq_aq:
thanks mate, it is working just fine now..... very great work.

* also the private mode once you enter the pin number in the setting to activate, it will give you "" unfortunately , setting has stopped""

* the Air view is activated but it is not working.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Private mode does not work as it needs secure storage and some more work

Need to check on the Air View part as I have not tried it
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] O-T:
Instructions say flash both modem.bin twice and NON-HLOS.bin twice.

Why?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
This is a known issue, for some strange reason modem.bin does not stick on flashing once on our device.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] aq_aq:
sorry to bother you, am using this ROM on my phone and no plan to change it. so when i find an issue i wold like to share.

in addition to what i wrote, the power saving is not working, it give me force close.

the download booster is not working as well.

the dialer suppose not to change its color to green unless the other party answer, but here it changes to green direct during calling, attached photo.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
You are most welcome to report issues as this the way we can improve.

For power saving to work you need to install the power saving from addon package. Ultra power saving does not work but normal power saving including greyscale mode works.

I do not know of download booster as I do not use data but only wifi though I have ported most of it, I have not tested it out. Can you send me a logcat for me to check if anything else needs to be done for it to work.

I am not aware of the colors in the dialer. But the dialer is the same frome S5.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] O-T:
The Reason isn't strange:

Using Power menu -> Restart to enter download mode is the lazy and wrong way.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=56489671

This is how to enter download mode and flash whatever only once, with Odin AutoReboot ticked:

Power Menu -> Off, wait for complete phone off, VolDown+PWR

Press Thanks if this helps you.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] resofty:
found some issues:

- if activating torch light from lockscreen second time i got reboot

- if you activate screen mirror you get a reboot
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Suggest that you keep a longer timeout for torch and switch it off manually with the volume down button as timeout causes reboot. This issue comes from stock tw.

Screen mirroring is not in ROM and you need to install allshare from addons to use it.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] aq_aq:
When trying to connect to VPN using OpenVPN I get the error Problem creating TUN interface and it is indicating that the tun.ko kernal module is not loaded in your android Kernal.

I've installed the tun.ko app from the play store, still the same error.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Did you install vpn from the addon package?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] aq_aq:
actually, it was working well before then i don't know what happened.

I re-installed the VPN data from the add-on package, all are ok now.

thanks.

hi

the video app and Email app (the exchange) is crashing once i try to download any attachment.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Are you using secemail from addon or gmail? In case of secemail you can delete Exchange3Google.apk from system/app restart and check. Also can you specify the action upon which video app is crashing, you can install the videoeditor from addon and check.

Additionally a logcat will help in checking for the issue
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] aq_aq:
hi

am using the secemail and the Exchange3Google.apk from system/app dosen't exist.

regarding the video app, it show a white screen then the error message that "unfortunately, video has stopped."

attached is my logcat file.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Could not find any errors in the attached logcat pertaining to email and video app. Can you take one immediately after the error occurs without restarting and send the entire logcat.

Oh yes, Exchange3Goole.apk get automatically removed on installing Stock email. Just remembered that I had read somewhere issues with attachments in secExchange and with a little search found this thread, you could look at the solution in post #9. I am not sure if this may help but do you get the FC after the attachment is downloaded while opening it or before that?

With regard to the video app does it occur with all files or only certain files of certain type / resolutiongoogle
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] aq_aq:
regarding the email, the FC happens once i press to download or review attachments.

for the video app, if i choose the movies or videos from the browsing app, it works fine.

only when i open it directly, it give white screen and crash.

i flashed the mail and videos app again from the addon package, no change :(

attached is the new logcat.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] боиззана:
I'm getting "..... app has stopped" error when i install application from aroma ?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
You need to give complete details, name of application installed from aroma, error got on performing what action, type of file, complete error description. Additional a logcat will help in knowing further details.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] боиззана:
I'm tried to install this applications: Google Search, Headphone notification, Live Wallpapers Picker, Samsung Active App Widget, Samsung SBrowser - S5, Samsung Clock Widgets - S5, Samsung Drive Mode, Samsung File Manager - S5, Samsung Fonts, Samsung Photo Studio - S5, Samsung SmartRemote - S5, Samsung Video Studio - S5, Samsung Wallpaper picker, Samsung Weather Widget, Smemo - S5, S-Print and Power Saving & Emergency - S5. But After restarting my phone i'm having error like this : "............ has stopped"
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
There are a couple of video related errors, one related with battery and kernel and another to do with sound alive effect chosen by you that does not seem to be supported, let me know the settings for sound alive selected by you. Also you can change it to auto and try and let me know. Additionally if you can upload the video file to your drop box / drive and PM me the link I can test it out on my device as I am not facing this issue on my device after playing several video's in the video app as well as through file manager and whatsapp.

I could only find a exchange server related error for exchange as there are only SSL handshake exceptions. Can you try the gmail exchange and check if you are facing this issue (you will need to copy Exchange3Google.apk from the ROM package to /system/app
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:
Wooh!!! these are a whole lot of apps are going to use all of these? remember that more the apps you install, it will lead to more battery consumption and lower performance.

I would recommend that you start fresh and install the ROM first reboot and then choose only those that you are going to use from the addon package. Also recommend that you install just a few at a time, it could be that one of the app is causing this and you could narrow that down to it.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] боиззана:
Again i got error. How do i install Aroma ? İ'm installing it without wipe data & cache. İs this true method ?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] JASONRR:

[XDA Assist] dayal vandan:
I had rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 recently using Philz Touch5 CWM v6.0.3.2 and then I decided to put custom ROM OMNI nightly 4.4.4 -2014/09/09 to have android KITKAT 4.4.4 and I read on some threads that a minimum of CWM v6.0.4.4 and above is required to have KITKAT so I again had flashed or put Philz CWM v6.41.6 and then put OMNI ROM. Now KITKAT is working fine but then I try to backup KITKAT so that I can switch to Stock ROM and Custom Rom whenever I feel like but then while booting up the recovery software was changed by itself and then I show that I have two recovery Software- Clockworkmod and TeamWinRecovery. So problem is I had backed up the new custom Rom but that is done by TWRP whereas stock Rom was through CWM so a big problem is when I want to switch the two ROM. If both the ROMs were done by same recovery then must have been better but now I have to loose either of the two ROM's data then there is no meaning of backup :crying:

i also had installed ROM manager Please help... any advice would be very thankful. and sorry i wrote lengthy but i wanted to describe in precise way:o
[XDA Assist] It_ler:
I think it's not an issue.

If you want to go back to stock rom, flash cwm recovery and then restore the cwm nandroid backup.

If you want to restore the Kitkat rom, flash TWRP recovery and then restore the TWRP backup.

And in philz-touch cwm recovery you can set the default backup format to TWRP.

Check [PhilZ-cwm6][n7000] Stock Kernel+CWM6+Root+exFAT+NTFS-LTA thread for details.

Restoring the old backup also didnt work :(

Sir if I first root the stockrom android 4.1.2 by CWM Base v6.0.3.2 which is Philz Touch 5 and then reinstall a higher version CWM v6.0.4.4 and above then do i need to reboot into recovery again or what all must I do like wiping etc?? literally it must be like upgrading CWM versions. I am just a beginner so have multiple doubts:angel: And Sir I made 2 backups of stockROM one by CWM and other by ROMmanager but the backup by CWM says error while restoring at final end and restoring backup of ROMmanager does restore but there is no Setting Menu and some menus after restoration. Main problem is without Setting Menu! :confused:

Sir I am thinking to reflash the stockROM through ODIN by PC so please guide me as to how can I use one Single Recovery Software either CWM or TWRP and then again backup both the stockROM and KITKAT customROM so that I can latter switch to either of the two ROM when I want.

Again sir thankyou for the previous help and I do want ur valuable guide here too :o
[XDA Assist] It_ler:
I have already linked the FAQ thread for your device. Please read and ask there.

Maybe flashing back a stock firmware, rooting, backup and then flashing the Kitkat ROM again is a good idea.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abispac:
Hey thanks for reading, a couple of days ago , my wifes phone got stolen, i had the find my phone app installed in it but i always had my doubts as i always thought that if someone like me finds a phone and wants to keep it, they could just master reset it and erase any gps traking apps and have a new phone rigth? well thats what happened,tiefh turned off the phone right away and the phone never showed up neither on google device manager nor the find my phone either. Anyway , a person that works on a cell repair shop told me, he has his phone setup in a way that if you do a factory reset or even if you flash the phone, once the phone has acces to the internet, it will install the gps back again and tell you where it is.

So i was wondering if anyone has any idea wich app or how to do such thing. Thanks for your time and pardon my bad grammar and english.

PS: i wonder why google dosnt have something like the icloud where you can lock your phone to it via imei, that way if it gets stolen you can just lock your phone and tiefs wont be able to use it. I know google has my last imei, so i guess is posible for them to track my device to see wich other account is using my phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
With root access Avast Mobile Security has this kind of features as far as I remember. It keeps a protection after a factory reset or a firmware installation.

BTW Apple produces the devices so they have a control on the IMEI (IMEI is a hardware data and not software). Moreover you should probably be able to contact your local authoritizies to blacklist the IMEI.

Hope it helps.
