[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] FARSLAYER:
I wish I knew why? those 2 and the Hispasian blackout are the only 3. The others i've tried work but just not those...no idea why.

If you have any suggestions please let me know, I don't even know what else to try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
You have a S5 now....retire the S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] FARSLAYER:
:D

Have to at least wait until it's paid off then I will mod it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] FARSLAYER:
Seems some others were having this problem but sadly no reason was found...

UPDATE: I believe it has something to do with xposed framework. I used a rom that works great just the stock rom and once i installed Xposed the lag at the start of the boot screen happens.

Uninstalled xposed framework and lock screen still doesn't work..hmmmmm It was working until I installed xposed.

very strange stuff, I reinstalled xposed without updating the framework and the lock screen works....strange stuff.

I upgraded to this ROM from the Sickness Edition 4.4.2 this past weekend and I must say this is a awesome ROM. One issue I'm having is that in the Messaging app, when I compose a message the text font color is black while the background color is also black. This makes it very hard to read the message I'm trying to write before I send it out. I would like to change the text font color to a light blue. Sickness, do you have a guide as to how to make these kind of changes? If so, I would definitely like to learn how. Thank you very much and again, awesome ROM!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
No guide. But, it's in SecMms/res/values/colors.xml
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lavell7298:
I've unzipped the ROM as well as unzipped the SecMms.apk. There is no "value" folder in SecMms on this ROM. There is a "color" folder and a "xml" folder. I'm thinking that those 2 folders are the only ones that might have the xml file that needs to be edited.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
It's because you can't use 7Zip. You must decompile using apktool.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lavell7298:
I downloaded ApkTool and was able to decompile SecMms. I'm looking at the "colors" xml file and trying to determine which line needs to be edited.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Cajun_Man:
Cool, I've been using and really liking you Insane Hybrid V6 one for awhile, I came across this post yesterday and downloaded V3 and did a clean install. Now I'm torn. I really like both. This one is fast and smooth! the V6 hybrid is fast and smooth too, but to me this one seems just a touch faster.

I installed the V5 sickness mods on the hybrid version, but have not got a chance to install them on this Sickness Edition V3 yet. probably within a couple of hours I'll try the mods on this rom.

Gotta admit, I enjoyed trying out the 5.1.1 roms, but I seem to like these 2 4.4.4 roms of yours the best.

I really wish you could have come up with a 5.0.2 or 5.1 version for the S4. I know you don't have the device anymore and there is no T-Mobile 5.0 or 5.1 rom available for the S4. Wish there was, would love to see a 5.1.1 version of your rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lavell7298:
I found the line of code that needs to be edited. It's line 80 with the name "composer_edit_field_color". For those of you who want to modify the text font color, follow my previous posts starting with post #478 and you will arrive at this point. Thank you very much Sickness for pointing me in the right direction.:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pathtologos:
Hey all. I just posted this in another thread but this one seems like it might be a better place. Basically, I have a friend who just bought an s4 and he got it connected on Metro PCS. He really wants the "unrestricted tethering" and I see it listed in the OP. Question is, will this rom work on Metro? And will tethering work?

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lavell7298:
Sickness, I really need your help. Although I was successful at changing the font color in the Messaging app, for some unknown reason, the app keeps force closing everytime I get a text message. I can't pinpoint the problem. I found your thread on how to edit apk files and followed that to the letter. Again, I can change the font color without a problem. But the app will crash as soon as I get a text message. Can you point me in the direction as to where I need to look?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Clear cache and data on it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lavell7298:
I don't know why I didn't think of that?! I should have known better. I followed your suggestion and now the Messaging app works with the change in font color. Thank you again Sickness. You are the man!:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Railius:
Hey guys, long time I dont visit xda, I have been working as a field engineer having no life, so no time to check on update, I´ve been using this ROM for about 5 months, it´s been almost perfect, super fast, no problems at all except for the signal.. It´s been a pain in the ass, and it´s also my work phone, so since i have no time, I kinda forgot the steps to troubleshoot and all those stuff..

Regarding the issue i´ve been having with the phone, I lose signal everytime the screen locks and in the middle of a call, yesterday during an emergency 3 bosses wanted to kill me literally, what can I do, last thing I did, I updated original firmware, then modem, I´m sure I followed everystep.

Model SGH-M919

Android version 4.4.4

Band base M919UVUFNH7

Kernel version

3.4.6 Hispasian

Compilation number = The sicknesss Edition V3

secure boot status = Samsung

Software versino = MDF V1.0 Release 3

VPN v1.4 Release 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Change kernels.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Railius:
Any recommendantions?? please.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lavell7298:
I agree with The Sickness' recommendation. Ktoonsez's kernels are by far the best for the Galaxy S4. I've been using his kernels since I got the S4 and I couldn't be happier. Make sure you grab the latest KitKat Touchwiz version (07.12.2014). Everything works with this kernel. You also have the option to flash the International version of his kernel which is what I'm using on my phone. Personally, I like this one better than the T-mobile version. You can find the International version of this kernel here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pathtologos:
Hey all. Hoping someone can help. I'm trying to help a friend get unrestricted tethering on his s4. He's on metro PCS. I took his phone from stock, booted into download mode, used Odin 3.07 to flash recovery. I had trouble finding a twrp .tar so I used that cwm type recovery called oudus (I think--I know it started with an O...lol). After recovery was successfully pushed, I pulled battery and booted into recovery. All seemed well. I backed up, wiped (except I didn't format /data. Not sure I was supposed to), then I flash sickness v3. Didn't get past boot. I waited A LONG TIME. So, i wiped again and tried to restore stock. Well, now that won't boot past boot screen either. I'm pretty sure I can use Odin to get him back to stock but does anyone have any idea why sickness wouldn't boot?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmacguire:
To the best of my knowledge, Metro has recently changed its HotSpot/Tethering policies. I can run HotSpot with no issues whatsoever. For USB Tether, try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mstream.e2t&hl=en

Make sure you are on 4.4.4 NK3 Metro firmware. I was running the T-Mobile software instead and it always triggered a wizard with "verifying your account."
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pathtologos:
I saw the news about the new tethering policy but the guy I'm trying to help with this is telling me that metro is limiting him to one GB tethering even tho he has an unlimited data plan for his device. Thanks for your input. Where could I find the firmware you're referring to? And once I install the firmware, can I then pretty much flash any ROM over it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmacguire:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-M919N/ This is more specific and should save you a moment or two. The reason I linked directly to the Metro firmware rather than the fully compatible T-Mobile one is that attempting to enable WiFi Hotspot/USB Tethering will cause the T-Mobile firmware to respond with "verifiying your account....." and then an error message. The Metro firmware worked perfectly at my first attempt.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spiffy Jay:
How do I flash this ROM? It says instructions but doesn't show them can anyone help me with step by step? And what twrp version would you guys recommend? Thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spiffy Jay:
data is not working for me. im not on nh7 can that be the case? what can be the problem please and thank you

Off topic, why does this best buy ad keep creeping into the text field?

Pretty garbage move, xda...

Back on topic, how the hell can I write to external storage with this rom?

Titanium backup force close when opening folder preferences, But so does s reminder.

Camera force close on startup, Too

searched threads and forums and replacing/editing system files for permissions doesn't work,either

any ideas?

just wondering...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
I am with you on the above - agree that loading up the modz package is the way to go. After all - it is your personal ROM.

With this ROM or the other one plus Modz - users will be able to build up whatever they want.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bx10r:
question for someone. If I make a nandroid, flash this rom and modz pkg and for whatever reason(not implying) its buggy for me. Can i revert back to my nandroid with no issue? Ive been running The Sickness 4.42 with no issues what so ever and not 100% sure if I need to change rom versions. I know it personal preference but I like to be up to date, especially with a dev like Sickness who is sic. So I guess i have 2 questions. Is there an upside to flashing this 4.4.4 vs staying on 4.42?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
You can flash it. Only issue you may have is data. You would have to update your bootloader to 4.4.4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bx10r:
So if i update my bootloader will I have to change it back if i revert back to my nandroid? Also where can i find the new bootloader before flashing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
You can't downgrade. The firmware I'd in General Section. [MENTION=5580710]ShinySide[/MENTION] thread
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
I have only updated my modem and still on old bootloader and this runs fine ?

I would try it that way first - easy to update bootloader later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Alright.....all the new apks will go into the Sickness Modz.

And that's my final answer. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
Think it is a good one.

Dumb question of the day - any change latest GoogyMax3 kernel would work with this, or is only compatible with 4.4.2 ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Just chiming in; I'm running 4.2.2 MDL Bootloader with the NH7 modem and this runs flawlessly for me. No problems to report; data, WiFi, sound, everything I've tried so far works with no problem. I haven't been using Bluetooth or WiFi calling (T-Mobile isn't my carrier), so I can't say about that... NFC works for what little bit I do with it... basically, what little bit I do, I haven't ran into any problems. The only thing I've noticed is that the options in all dialogue boxes are blacked out. I have to tap the box and hold it to see what the options are, but that has nothing to do with the bootloader...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
The blacked out boxes are in the Issue Section....Just flash a framework theme......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
I thought I read that somewhere, it just wasn't a big enough issue for me to worry about too much. I assume that one of the framework themes in your Modz 4.4.4 package would do the trick?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Yes sir you are correct;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrocks213:
Sucks to say this but my b day is sat and my wife got me the note 4. Hate to leave this amazing rom and thank you very much for making my s4 unique with your roms.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Well Happy Birthday.

Only thing that sucks about N4 is the png files are now qmg. Which means themeing it will be next to none.

That's why I'm not getting one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrocks213:
Thanks brotha. Well worst comes to worst if I don't like it I'll let her have it and I'll get the s4 back. I'm letting her have my s4.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] koushi2012:
Hi Sickness,

Your rom always rox.. i think keeping framework in download section helps us alot rather than questioning ourself where we can get those.

Can you please amend this if its possible.

You Rocks Always..Sickness....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GFX.myst.:
They did it with the qmg bootanimations bro. Maybe they can do something along the lines of that. The N4 is a little big for me though. If I want something that big, I'll get me another tablet. Galaxy Tab S is looking pretty good right now. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
BUT, it also states in the OP, that this rom comes "as is".

99% of the folks that run my roms know of The Sickness Modz and what is inside the package.

That's why in the OP under ISSUES is state that you may want to change the framework theme.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfen1086:
Ok I've tried three time s download and install The Sickness 4.4.4, and every time It wont; install, any ideas?

Right now I'm running CM11
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Can you open the rom zip with 7Zip?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfen1086:
Yes I can

Also I'm downloading it again CM11 turns off the screen when I'm in a phone call and even if it does come back up I can;t do anything I WANT MY SICKNESS BACK :(

I'm re downloading 4.4.4 now and I swear to God Almighty that I WILL have sickness on my phone even if I have to odin all the way back to stock 4.3 re root and start over again

Oh one more thing not only can I open it with 7zip, with Ubuntu I can simply double click and it opens up like an automatic Wal Mart door
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Then the DL was good. Are you wiping "system" in recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfen1086:
Only wiped everything once.

When this download is done I'm going to wipe everything three times Like I used to do with the old Samsung Moment.

And I should have no problems this time I swapped from, CWM to TWRP, and one thing I'm going to do different is follow the wiping instructions in the Insane Kit Kat thread, so....if this works under TWRP, I have a new recovery too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
CWM was the problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sdkk67:
I have to say normally i run Aokp rims but this thing kicks *ss , I'm sticking with this.Awesome job.Touch wiz with cap removed is great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfen1086:
I hope so, cause we went to the Halloween Field of Screams and stuff at the Hunt Club and JUST NOW got home, the download is finished and The sickness should be on the phone soon,........I hope

I WILL report soon :)

Question Mr. Sickness, I flashed your NH7 modem some time ago, how'st would I go about updating the bootloader on my SGH M919 T-Mobile SG4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Best way to update the bootloader is with Odin. [MENTION=5580710]ShinySide[/MENTION] has a thread in General for the Official Firmware.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfen1086:
Ok sickness I have a MAJOR problem everything was wiped three times using TWRP SD card was replaced so I wouldn't lose any pictures and the replacement was wiped Sickness installed, BUT there was no connection to mobile networks no matter what I did, the rom DID properly install as far as I know
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MAFU21:
What modem are you using??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
I sometimes get this on a new install. Try turning on and the off Airplane mode and see if it connects then I am assuming you checked the settings to receive data - think the default is off on clean install.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] koushi2012:
No Signals after flashing rom...

Hi Sickness...

Im not getting signals after flashing this rom and the other sicknes 4.4.4 rom.

The Mobile Networks option has been disabled and not getting signals till how many times i tries.

so im back to Sickness V2 ..can you please is there anything need to be done to get back the signals after flashing this rom..

Thanks alot for all your efforts..

You Roxx...,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfen1086:
According to the phone info app my modem is MDM9215M

Been there did that, airplane mode was turned on and off three or four times

Right now I had to revert back to CM11, BUT I have all the sickness wallpapers, so if nothing else I have some of the sickness back LOL

Do me a favor if you don't mind. Go to Settings>More>About Device and take a screen shot and post it.

SD Card ready to unmount

One more thing Mr. Sickness, i get the "SD Card is ready to unmount" on rebooting? is this normal sir? thank you again,:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
I wouldnt say "normal".....I have never had that issue.

Does it do it on "every" reboot?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jtatex:
SD Card ready to unmount

Probably 4 out if 5 reboots sir.:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Try to dirty flash the rom again. Dont wipe anything. Lemme know if that fixes it.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jtatex:
that i did sir, i always read the developers instructions and follow them. yesterday i total wiped, flashed and stock wiped before install, today after 24 hours i dirty flashed and still had the same quandry. not really a problem, more of an annoyance, other than that just the theming thing. Also, what kernel from your experiene would you suggest to flash from your Modz zip?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Kernel? Good question.....

I prefer pure performance. I dont care about battery life, I have 3 chargers.

99% of the time its KT, with the "Feed The Machine" profile.

Sorry it took so long had to chop wood fast cause its getting a little chilly here in Virginia Beach finally, and I'm working on a place to store the excess wood I have, so I can get it of the ground, and I had a muffler to weld into my wrangler cause it finally fell off LOL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
My advice, upgrade to the full NH7.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eudemony:
If you flash this rom first then go to download mode and use odin to flash the modems from here (you need to download them first)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/eudemony/files/V5/Modems/T-Mobile/

Just modem.bin if on old bootloader

and both files if on new (knox triggered)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfen1086:
NH7 baseband?

Or NH7 modem?

Or both?

I have Odin

and I couldn't care less about tripping the knox thing, thats already on about 6 LOL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
Both. Just Odin the NH7 Firmware
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eudemony:
You know baseband and modem are the same thing? ;)

other way is as [MENTION=4921688]The Sickness[/MENTION] suggests, and if you don't care about knox

download the odin firmware - can't put link up but pm me if you need it.

This will update your recovery back to stock though (and modems, kernel, bootloader, etc.) reboot then go back to download mode after quick setup (dont worry about putting any info in as you are gonna wipe it anyway) odin a custom recovery.

reboot and put the sickness rom on your sd card.

reboot now to recovery and FULL wipe.

Flash the sickness rom

then you are "Getting down with the Sickness .. o,a,a,a,a!"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfen1086:
Cool thanks

No I didn't know that baseband and modem were the same, But I have odin, and the stock firmware on my computer and the latest NH7 firmware all stock so, all I have to do is odin the NH7 onto the phone and it reverts it all the way back to bone T mobile stock, did that a few times with the NB4.

I keep the stock firmwares on my computer that I downloaded straight from both Here and T mobile in case me or somebody else needs them :)

I have CM11 phone app working somehow, all I did was a reboot twice and somehow the sensor fixed itself, so maybe if I can't get the Sickness to work at least I can make calls again LOL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfen1086:
OK I flashed the NH7 modem and now my phone tings the led light lights up but by here's no damn way to answer a call, now what?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Sickness:
You need to flash the entire NH7 Firmware.......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfen1086:
So you mean all the way back to T mobile stock then re root?

Thats doable, I have all three from NB4 up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
I know this is an as-is ROM, but have a question on using it.

Apparently Email was not included, so I pushed the apk and it works - except it will only syncs manually each time - is there another file(s) I need to push ?

Liking this ROM, and have only made minor tweaks (mostly with modz).

Update - never mind, found it on Shinyside (aka Sunnyside) thread.

Update 2 - I already had the Sec.Exchange apk in there - but still no auto sysc. Have checked settings (indicates sync turned off?).
