Dang, missed that while searching. Worked perfectly. So far loving the rom! Thanks alot for the link.

anyone have a different link for th NG2 modem only? the one on page 7 is down
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sac23:
big update coming up soon
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Radixb:
One thing the NG2 update adds is "HD calling". It works between two NG2 devices, and is noticeably better sounding. Not sure what else NG2 brought to the table.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xSpaceGhost:
A little more specific. What does this ROM offer that the other ROM (nae v6 rom) doesn't or does have? Once again. Just the curiosity in me. LOL.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Radixb:
Well, the NAE rom doesn't have HD calling... :) NG2 does. Not sure there was any other significant changes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] xSpaceGhost:
What about the differences in the roms?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Radixb:
That is what I'm saying: The NG2 rom brings HD calling. It requires using the NG2 kernel and NG2 modem. I don't think there were any other notable changes other than Samsung probably updated some security and ironed out some bugs. If the HD calling isn't important to you, then why upgrade?

Another thing to consider is that a lot of the TW devs are working with the NG2 now, so if you want to stay where the TW devs are, then move to NG2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sandman121383:
Awesome stuff! Be patient guys. It WILL be worth the wait. Thanks Sac!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cheers_w:
Big good news.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] joej191:
Trust me his roms are always worth the wait, it's like the McRib is back lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dacookiemonn2be:
I know everyone will probably say i didnt follow the directions and they would be right. I came from negalite with baseband of MF9 and I went right to NG2 and booted up and verified it took which it did, then i flashed recommended twrp from op then booted to recovery, wiped dalvik, cache, system, data and internal data 3 times, then flashed this rom. Right from the start it seemed i had some terrible lagging, i flashed the 2 small fixes, 'a' and 'b', then edited build.prop which did give me the lock screen settings, but I still cant turn on wifi and the system is really lagging. camera not opening, and phone , even dialing (pushing dial numbers) is lagging big time. Is this just the result of me not doing exactly as the op said? perhaps need a diff kernel? I know this is an awesome rom as sacs roms are always good, I just have yet to experience it. And when i say lag, i mean lag, on initial swipe to get into the phone the sparkly light effect always freezes up at edge of screen and it takes about 6 or 7 seconds to see the home screen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pontif:
A lot of problems are from not having newest bootloader . Also did you check make sure you were NG2 after install? Try re flashing NG2 firmware? It is suggested to fully update to ng2. Just basic stuff before calling it a real issue. Always read the op thoroughly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] LoMejorNYC:
I followed the instruction by Sac and is working great. a little tedious, but worth it. i'm patiently waiting for the update... 1 Mississippi... 2 Mississippi.... 3 Mississippi...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] joej191:
Refresh refresh refresh.... lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dacookiemonn2be:
I wish the instructions was better, I have a feeling i might of flashed the wrong stock.

I flashed this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2663619

It flashed fine, but constantly giving error about gapps closing, when i hit ok button it just comes right back.

I did not do the second part about update to ng2 zip, still trying to figure out if i have to rename it to update.zip since im back on a stock recovery. The phone also is randomly rebooting, i guess im goign to just try to renamed to update.zip then see if stock recovery will flash it. Hoping it fixes it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Radixb:
has anyone have a link to the NG2 bootloader? My phone is still on MK2 and wife's on NAE. Figure I might as well update, but see no reason to flash the whole rom etc just to get it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dacookiemonn2be:
Its just been a while, I thought it could only apply from a file named update.zip, but i see i was able to apply it as is from stock recovery. Its patching system now, and before i did this i did a factory reset. I had forgotten that option was in stock recovery as well which might of fixed my issue with FC of gapps repeatedly. Im just at the edge of my seat, hoping i dont ruin this phone, whch it is also my understanding that it would be pretty hard to do unless i wipe out my recovery partition.

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

For all those who might be nervous like i am about flashing and the possibilities that come with it, when you get the stock nae rom, just be sure to boot up the stock recovery and wipe/factory reset and then apply the update to ng2 and you should be fine and have not errors when booting the system up. Time for root. Again, shout out to sacs for his awesome work.

I did have one question for you tho, I was looking to get into modding custom roms and/or making them. I have tons of experience in programming and bash scripting. Do you have any recommendations as to where I might start to get off the ground?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Alpine-:
Coming from an full NAE firmware (radio, boot loader, etc.), using latest Philz recovery, I see no problem with booting to download mode, Odin the NG2 radio tarball, then flash a NG2 ROM of choice. As long as radio is already updated to NG2, there should be no issue with the bootloader still being NAE.

There is no reason to flash stock recovery, flash stock rom/update, reroot, then flash new custom rom. A lot of extra work to basically update your radio. Is there an issue with the above mentioned method?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dacookiemonn2be:
That is similar to what i had in mind, my mistake tho was going flashing this rom directly first while still on MF9 modem, and it was booting up, but not really usable. Everything except the radio was NG2. I am thinking maybe if i would have played with it, formatted certain partitions and wiped the right stuff i might have gotten it to work, but after I went back to negalite which i was using prior to flashing this rom I still had the lag issues and phone calls was not really working. Its weird tho, i could make calls barely, and i knew when someone was calling me, but i had absolutely no sound. On top of that, my phone would randomly vibrate like every 10 seconds, and at one point it froze up on me while in the middle of vibrating and just stayed vibrating until i forced it to reboot.

Then i decided to load a backup i had from a 4.3 rom from sacs, and it did the same thing, but what is really weird is i ended up with a philz recovery that was blue and i had never seen it before. I never customized the look of the philz touch i had so i have no idea how i ended up with a blue one. I just flashed the 2.7 TWRP i had on sd card then powered down phone until i had time today to follow op directions.

Right now its all working 100% with no problems at all that i notice, using this NG2 rom from sacs.

I've been searching forever for a ng2 .tar link. All the ones posted in the other threads say 404 not found. Any help would be greatly appreciated !!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dacookiemonn2be:
You might want to look at the links carefully, i see alot of 404 because the links are bad, they post the ?param part 2 times like such: somesite-com?fileid=someid?fileid=someid just remove the second duplicate param and most the links are good. Not sure if its just this forum that is doing that somehow or what the deal is, but most of what i downloaded yesterday was liek this.

Yep that worked thanks.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Alpine-:
Any major bugs guys in latest v4 guys?

Does anyone see any issue with this method of updating?

Coming from an full NAE firmware (radio, boot loader, etc.), rooted, using latest Philz recovery, I see no problem with booting to download mode (physically not with reboot menu) , Odin the NG2 radio tarball, then wipe 3x and flash clean NG2 ROM. As long as radio is already updated to NG2, there should be no issue with the bootloader still being NAE. Right? Rom should boot fine.

There is no reason to return to stock recovery, flash stock rom/update, reroot, then flash new custom rom. A lot of extra work to basically update your radio to NG2. Bootloader shouldn't matter should it. What am I missing here, why wouldn't this update method work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] PartyDroid:
what another GREAT rom update. you R the Rom Master.

Guys my wifi doesn't work after doing all the exact steps in OP

edit: checked my settings and software version is NAE and so is Baseband still.... do i Odin to NG2 modem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Radixb:
Look in your settings>about and see what baseband you are on. Sometimes the NG2 modem tar does not take. Be sure you uncheck f.reset and Auto reboot. That has caused flash failure for many, myself included. After the flash hold your power down until the phone resets.

Edit LOL, you beat me to it. Yes, you need to Odin the NG2 modem. You probably won't have to reflash the rom, but if you haven't gotten too far into your setup, it wouldn't hurt.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rtwrobert10:
good news: jk there is no good news lol... Flashed the modem without any boxes checked and wifi still doesn't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Radixb:
Are you showing the NG2 baseband now? I've had to reflash several times sometimes until it "takes". Also, download the app "Phone INFO" and check what bootloader you are on. The older bootloaders can cause issues on the NG2 roms. If you have the NAE (or NG2) bootloader and NG2 modem, then I would reflash the rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rtwrobert10:
NAE is baseband. and reflashing the modem or the ROM itself?

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

what phone info says: PDA version: NG2. CSC version: NG2. baseband and bootloader version: NAE
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pontif:
Yes you need NG2 modem. Be sure to fully power down or take out battery then go into download mode before flashing via Odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Radixb:
Your modem flash still hasn't taken. Like Pontif said, phone must be in download mode. Be sure you put the file into the "PDA" slot, not the Phone slot, and uncheck "f.reset" and "Autoreboot"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rtwrobert10:
all of those have been done. i'll just keep trying
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] crevis24:
You can always Odin back to the stock NAE tar. Then you can take the update for ng2, re-root the phone and then install custom recovery. Then you can go from there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rtwrobert10:
that's exactly what i just did. flashing ROM now and keeping fingers crossed everything is good

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mrnygiants:
Make sure you turn your phone off completely, then hook it up to your computer. That worked for me when I flashed the modem.

Turn completely off, then turn on and press down, then hook up to computer with Odin running.

Love the ROM but for what ever reason i can not download anything like save image, es file downloader or anything were i have to download something. any help on this is welcomed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] JesseAaronSafir:
So...just to be clear...I cannot use an NG2 ROM without issues if I keep the pre-KNOX MF9 bootloader. Is that right? I know that I tried flashing the NG2 modem only TAR on Odin and it made my phone terribly unstable with NAE-based ROMs as well as stock NG2 rooted. WiFi wouldn't turn on and the phone was very unresponsive and crash/rebooting a lot unexpectedly. So...do I just need to bit the bullet and accept KNOX to move forward? If I do so, does it somehow prevent me from running a JB or earlier ROM (e.g. Sacs 4.2.2 v8)?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] LoMejorNYC:
a few ways to solve this issues.

what i personally do is install the xposed framework, then download/install Wanam. Then go to xposed app and enable the Wanam module. In Wanam, go to "Adanced" and enable the "SDcard RW permission". Reboot. done.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Son Rise:
Guys After U Flash The Rom. Please Make Sure U Guys Download FolderMount From Play Store. Run It Reboot Phone After. Most Of The Issues Will Fix.

Great ROM as always sac........one question, would you be able to get the S5 dialer to work with this version of ROM?

I used the one you had from the older version of the rom and it worked great on the last NAE version.

When I try to flash it on the NG2 version, I just get a boot loop.

Thanks again for everything!

For those that use their own music for the alarm clock, you will need to follow this procedure:

1. Download the S4 version of musiccommonutility.apk here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712461029

2. Install Root Browser from the Play Store.

3. Delete the s5 version of musiccommonutility from the system>app folder.

4. Copy the downloaded s4 version to the same folder (system>app).

5. Change the permissions to rw-r-r.

6. Reboot.

I am on mf9 bootloader with ng2 modem. No issues at all. Runs awesome
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] calikushed:
Did your wifi turn on right away or did you have to flash a stockish kernel? or edit prop?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Chiefho70:
What kernel are you on
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rheller219:
I am running the kernel included in sacs ROM. I believe it's the stock ng2 kernel. And Yes, WiFi came on right away and works as it should
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] calikushed:
A couple more questions, did you flash the new rom then the ng2 modem or the modem then the new rom? if you flashed the ng2 modem first on a non ng2 rom with a non ng2 kernel did you have wifi on at that point? I odined the ng2 kernel on a old sac rom and lost wifi every time even after verifying it stuck but figured i would need the ng2 bootloader so no biggie.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rheller219:
Here is how I did it. I booted to download mode, used odin 3.07 in PDA slot and flashed the ng2 modem. Rebooted directly to recovery, didnt boot up any rom so not sure if it wifi worked at this point with sacs v6 rom. wiped everything 3 times and flashed Sacs v3 rom. After doing this everything worked as it should including WIFI. however my bootloader was MF9, my PDA was NAE and my Modem and CSC were both NG2. Didnt really know what to think about the PDA being NAE. Regardless everything worked right out the box. So then decided to flash Sacs v4. Again wiped 3 times and proceeded to install. Everything again went smoothly and worked right out of the box including WIFI. However now my PDA is also NG2. Not sure why some are having issues, but I can assure you its possible to be running a knox free MF9 bootloader along with NG2 everything else and have EVERYTHING work as it should including WIFI without and edits of build prop or other tweaks.
