This means... Stock-ish AOSP look... By any chance can you get the UPSM on this??? got damn can't wait to go to a AOSP-ish ROM for lollipop....

Oh yeah, so no Xposed I assume since Sammy cursed ART on their devices... What about Gravitybox? Might that will work? This just came to my mind and I'm heading out for the day...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
UPMS? Do you mean MTP file transfer? If so, it works just fine.

No XPosed until some massive headway is made by a brave developer.

Yeah. [emoji14] Definitely FF compatible, but FF has some issues of its own I'll be addressing soon...

It will be user choice. They can be enabled though yes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Ultra Power Saving Mode. The greyscale... Can't find a port
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
i've used 1 ROM that had that feature, it was for at&t though, and it was Goldfinger.

i replaced the apns (like you did with GPE), flashed one of Jkruze's patches, supersu, and modules

oh and a signal bars fix but i dont think you'll need that

also, you might need to downgrade to kitkat if you want that ROM if you're on lollipop now.

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

gravitybox is an xposed module, so it won't work until someone gets xposed working on samsung lollipop
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Figured... I think someone(Gigilie(screw my spelling)) ported it... I will take a look and see, I always run low on battery xD... Too young to make purchases, just two more years...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aleggsue:
I'll be flashing from Eclipse, so I'm excited to see what's in store. The only thing preventing me from upgrading to Lollipop with root is no way to AOSP theme. If he gets that done before Nitro does, he'll be getting a beer or two from me lol.

Sent from my Eclipse'd SCH-i545
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
nitro apparently lost his mdk s4, so eclipse is "on hold"

which means probably no lollipop update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BuffaloChips:
Some reason safestrap says it can't mount "/systemorig/" What is going on?

Now I am stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 splash screen. Will not go any further. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Eclipse was almost the same as KitPop(UI wise).. Only using touchwiz the music player...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aleggsue:
Big difference was the ROM size for the "random stuff" on the storage in settings. Eclipse is like 6gig

Sent from my Eclipse'd SCH-i545
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] greatquux:
that sucks. i wish he would have made an announcement about that. so i guess i'll be watching this thread more closely.. though if we can't use Xposed on LP then I might just stuck with the last version of Eclipse for another year, and perhaps in that time there will be a bootloader exploit. i may even try flashing this from eclipse dirty but i promise i won't complain when my wifi/data/gps doesn't work. :) thanks to all the hard developers working on this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
I think somebody asked about an update and he replied to them saying pretty much those words
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
I think that I hate Verizon and hope that the hard working devs find an exploit on nc5 so I can go to Cyanogenmod or a Google Play ROM...

I'm scared to ask for a ETA, but my assumption is a month or two or until [MENTION=4696762]darkera13[/MENTION] (seems to have gotten xposed running on a touchwiz ROM) gets a stable version on Lollipop Touchwiz...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sinner822:
Re Odin then restore backup. 15 min fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
They got xposed on sammy ART... :D...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skyhawkrr:
Awesome rom!

I actually just came from the stock OC1 lollipop rom (being on a locked bl,) and I have to say I much prefer this over the TouchWiz, even though this is only KitKat. Awesome work!!! :)

This is kind of a silly question, but I was curious if others were experiencing this- the boot animation blows through and finishes in about 2 seconds and then the "android" strobes REAALLLLLY fast until it finishes booting. Not quite the best looking animation... is it still a WIP or is my phone just messed up? Would appreciate a reply. Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
What boot animation? I have only used the BiOS and the google ones... Never had that issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Haha. Let's put it this way. Samsung theme editor (used to make qmg Samsung boot animations) is a not an easy to work with software XD.

It perfectly normal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
is the Samsung theme editor easily obtainable and can anyone use it to make/convert qmg boot animations?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] uplusion23:
I just flashed KitPop on NK1, and after flashing the ROM, I flashed the SELinux files, ending with the NK1_Modules, all on SS ROM Slot 1. [Ver. 1.3], but upon turning on the phone, after passing SafeStrap's Active screen, I get no display output, and constant vibrating. Well, more like Three fast vibrates, and two slower delayed ones. Then it loops. Any ideas?

Edit: RON =/= ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Yup. Google it.

Reodin to stock NK1 (or NC5, yiur choice, no major diff.) And try again. It Sounds like a bad download. Redownload the zips and try again after odining. You need to be on freshly rooted NK1 (no other ROMs installed before hand)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] uplusion23:
Well NK1 TouchWiz stock rooted is running just fine currently, but I'll try reflashing NK1 again via Odin.

Edit: I've been super excited for this ROM all day. Tried Hyperdrive and the styling is horrid. This seems like exactly what I want. Simple android, and functional.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Hyperdrive is s5/Note 4. Basically touchwiz

My mood is for flashing a new ROM so Kitpop it is today. Probably another one tomorrow....

Shouldn't it be Flash The???

Edit: Flashed the ROM... That boot animation.. Flickering Android... annoys me personally(don't know why) But this is why I have my backups...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Yup. Fix it next time I go to edit the OP.

Yup, couldn't hurt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Lot of crashes after I restored data...and a random reboot as I am typing... I need to leave the house right now... Great I'm in a bootloop
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Restored data through SafeStrap? Wouldn't reccomend that at all. Just redownload the apps from play.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Figured. I have a lot of apps xD. Back to Hyoerdrive until I find more time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skyhawkrr:
Yeah it seems that way. I tried creating a boot animation there too, but that and the stock animation are way too fast. The duration field doesn't seem to have any effect...

Yep, more info here:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] past_pluto:
Before reading anything I went into mobile network settings and switched from Global to LTE Recommended. I ODIN back to NC5 then reinstalled and I can't get it to say global nor can I get the Change APN app to work as others have in this thread. Have I permanently messed up? Only thing I didn't try was taking all the info from my toro device APN settings and entering it all in manually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbarghouti:
So will MTP ever get fixed? If not are there any alternatives to using it, I am trying to restore my texts through kies but thats clearly not going to work due to MTP not working.

Thanks for your time!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sinner822:
Sms backup restore works good for texts. Stays on your sd card.

No native MTP without custom kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mbarghouti:
Another question, is anyone else having a problem with Snapchat video? Whenever I record with mine and the send it; the receivers point of view is compressed and completely messed up/glitchy and has lines going throughout the entire video.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] uplusion23:
[MENTION=5848265]npjohnson[/MENTION] Found the fix. Should have tried it before bothering you, sorry about it. Simply because I wasn't wanting to use it on ROM Slot 0 [Stock ROM]. Seems to be good now. Thanks, excited to try this rom. :)

Anyone use Pandora and notice the ROM has feedback while streaming? I am using Viper4Android but even when turning that off it still does it. It's the only thing besides pic messages holding me back from daily driving.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rrrrrrredbelly:
I haven't noticed any feedback on Pandora, i also use v4a
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] past_pluto:
Interesting. I only notice it with headphones in or plugged into car via headphone port.

I am on Pandora 1.3 so that very well may be the issue. It's very old.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] johnhaskell:
I have this issue as well. I don't think it's ROM related though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] past_pluto:
Still having the Pandora feedback. I am using the battery guru but turning it off doesn't help. The battery life on this rom is insane. If I don't steam I can almost go two days!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
No feedback when I used pandora at home with V4A on both headphones and speakers... I need that Ultra Power Saving Greyscale thing xD. Then shall I be truly happy xD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] past_pluto:
Well I installed eclipse and hated that then went back to this and it wasn't doing it this AM. I also flashed the apnfix before first boot this time and didn't have any data issues. No need for change APN app. So hopefully this is the reason. Now just need pic messages to work in google messenger. Having issues moving it to system and getting APN settings free in the app.

Data handoff are a pain too. It never wants to switch to 3g
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] past_pluto:
What's the difference between using this rom and the thread where someone shows you how to get the att google play edition and pure nexus Roms running on vzw phone? I'm loving this ROM now I have the kinks worked out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Not much in terms of UI. The google play edition is AOSP based. And will brick your phone unless you have MDK.

Don't want to speak for him but guessing he's talking about this one...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2817708
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] past_pluto:
Yes that's the thread. Should have linked it. So basically it's not worth messing with if this is running really good? All the kinks I had were worked out with a fresh install and loading the APN fix before first boot and not using batteryguru.

Data handoffs could be better and time it takes to pick data back up in low signal areas too but nothing an airplane toggle can't fix. I'm thinking that data would be even bigger issue on the other one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] past_pluto:
Music feedback is back. Idk what's causing it but all that changed was I started using Snapchat and Amazon instant video app. Uninstalled both and it's still doing it. So annoying.

[MENTION=5848265]npjohnson[/MENTION]

I am 200% willing to test this ROM for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] past_pluto:
Too bad we can't modify the kernel. The audio issues I was having are CPU related. If I set min to 384 and max to 594 then it all goes away. I'd love to have a screen off min/max. The amount of steps S4 uses is crazy. The Galaxy Nexus only had four speeds. Some kernels gave more.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
You don't need to modify the kernel to achieve speeds that are within the kernel parameters.

You need a cpu profile app such as setCPU or CPU Control both are paid apps but should do the trick.

You just need to setup a profile for screen off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] androoler:
Didnt work

Just tried to flash this. didnt work. flashing failed. Are you sure it works?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
actually I was referring to the discussion about the ART changes in both that thread and the github comments linked in the thread

was researching the possibility of using a xposed module to make GPE-ASOP behave
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Well. Maybe-ish? The issue here is that the TW Xposed that they made removed SEVERAL of the hooks we would most care about. This isnt really a fix for XPosed on TW 5.0.x, as much as it is a stripped down xposed for TW 5.0.x.

You're welcome to take a shot. There is no way to get a log off a boot where ART doesnt initialize. So you're shooting in the dark.

Eh. I've refocused my efforts into current bootloader stuff. In my eyes, there is no point in putting work into something that something else I am working on may soon make less than pertinent.

In other words. Its in progress, but on hold until I am sure which way the bootlaoder stuff we have right now will pan out.

also for UART to work you need a 619k resistor between pins 5/6 (assuming its like the AT$T model

flash fire

i was just curious if you could flash this using flash fire. thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
I don't think so. The format for flash fire versus safestrap flashing is different
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
you might be able to, FlashFire can flash ROMs with the traditional filesystem layout, but honestly safestrap is a lot nicer in my opinion. if you're on KitKat use ss. if you're on lollipop, you probably can't flash this at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Yes.

It can be.

This is obviously the preferred method. FF works fine though.

You need to be on the NC5/NK1 kernel to be supported, though this rom may work on NC2/NK4 (untested).

It isn't. We've tried. Something is different with JFLTEVZW. -- EDIT: It works. Its was my mess up.

Hi all,

First, thanks for the ROM, looks real sweet.

I have a problem where I don't get any cell signal or data - 3 bars of 1x where normally I get LTE 4 bars. Also looks like I have wifi problems despite not being on NC1

Was wondering, is there a radio or something similar that I should look to install? I was running NC5 previously, with a stock deodexed 4.2.2 and safestrap
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] twotonekarma:
This actually was the thing that ended up working for me, though I haven't been able to test MMS just yet, I'm back on track.

One thing to note though is that the vzwAPNfix is not in the OP, nor is is clearly highlighted that this is a key issue with the current build (for now) - not everyone has the time to read through 67 pages before getting to the answer ;)

Looking good so far (lightning fast!) and looking forward to 1.4! Thanks to the devs and those others willing and able to help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] past_pluto:
MMS is easy to fix. Just open hangouts when you first boot before it updates and the access point names option is still there. Just add a new one titled Verizon then put in mmsc this address http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms and it will work like a charm.

Also the music feedback issue I was having is gone once I used Trickster to turn off mp-decision.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] npjohnson:
Picture texts, are MMs and yes. They work dandy.

WiFi Tether. Yes, but not through settings. Go to the google edition safestrap thread, and there are instructions on how to get it up and running. I am working on a script to do so, but it won't be done until letter this week.

---------- Post added at 11:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------

If your data is not working like in my case, flash the apn fix, then download gravity box from the play store, then once gravity box is enabled, open it up and go into status bar tweaks...then into quick settings managment...then into tile specific settings...then into network mode tile settings, and make sure the cdma box is checked, and make sure the Allow LTE is checked as well, then drag down from the top and tap tjrough the tile till it says LTE, then wait for the signal to come, if it doesent come try a reboot first, and if it still doesent work, reply to this post

Do you have xposed models that are conflicting with turning then off? Spam the capacitive buttons and see if it boots

Wait, did you delete lines 138 and 158 in the generic.kl?! That would cause a bootloop, you red only supposed to delete the # and the space after it.

In the build.prop, you were supposed to delete the one whole line.
