workaround

what work around am i missind in the OP ???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] steveo24:
The 2 smaller zips force close messenger, and the 2 bigger ones delete the messenger app. I have the latest modem flashed and on mdk bootloader. I love this rom and appreciate all the hard work put into bringing it to vz.

I've tried this with hulk and hybrid max kernel, since my device rejects stock rom kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 66gt350:
Like steveo24, I got force close with all four fixes. I don't use the baked in messenger, I use Handscent.

I'm on MDK bootloader with the hybridmax kernel. I haven't upgraded to the most recent kernel, I'm still on the ng6 modem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fdigl:
I dun goofd, it's on the first page - scroll down a bit. You need to downgrade, but you won't be able to boot into the OC1 system until you flash the upgrade.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] happy2472:
Im on nc2 stock and rooted ... i have to downgrade flash rom then upgrade?? What moden do i use nc2 fix? What about thos 7 files gogolie put out to fix sending msgs???

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

If i can get this to work ... how do i get SS back up and running to flash any other files?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ravenmk:
Can I do the downgrade even though I'm not rooted?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hitaxas:
I am experiencing the same issue as these two, except I came from NC5 (locked bootloader and all that). Used the workaround to boot into Safestrap, flashed the biggest one first, it deleted the stock messaging app, and any third party sms app crashes. This is really frustrating, considering this seems to be the only custom LP ROM I can use on this phone at the moment and I cannot even text people while using it, which is a real shame...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] enoxhe:
I wont to install this rom on sprint S4 is it possible?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] happy2472:
My god I want this ROM ... Gogolie ????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fdigl:
I recommend just using ROMs in the Sprint S4 section, don't risk any bricks, especially with this baseband version.

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

Use Google Voice, I found that it's a good temporary replacement.

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

Well, you still need to be rooted to get into recovery. That means if you aren't already rooted then you're out of luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] happy2472:
OK so .... If I flash this ROM ... I can use flashfire to flash whatever fixes gogolie has put out there????

SMS/MMS

I was wondering if there was any solid fix for the SMS/MMS issue. I still cannot successfully "send" a text message. I have tried using Google Hangouts & Chomp SMS as alternatives, but no good. Here is my set up:

MDK

Hulk Kernel

MJ7 Modem- (tried MDK & NK1 also)

I flashed with the latest TWRP

chose all VZ stock options

booted up with "non VZ software" warning

flashed Hulk Kernel

phone booted up---set the phone up as new device and changed mobile network to CDMA/LTE

Any help would be appreciated. ROM runs GREAT otherwise---Thanks for your hard work!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] happy2472:
I flashed this successfully it came up after roughly 10 min after booting ... Setup rom and looks yummy .. However .. When it reboots i cant for the live of me figure out how to flash the fix files to send msgs and get data ... Wifi works great ... So is there something special to get SS working? What is flashfire bcz i tried that and it just hung .. If i boot up and use flashfire is it normal to boot again for 20 min??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fdigl:
If you simply read, you'll find answers.

On page 1 there's an ODIN fix you can temporarily get SS to work if you downgrade, but you'll have to flash the upgrade if you want to go back to Lollipop.

The fixes are deemed not working, so don't bother.

If you can't read, don't flash. That's how you brick things.

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

No, not that I know of. Still waiting on a fix myself, just using Google Voice in the meantime.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] happy2472:
lol

look i apopreciate the answer or help .... but your childish comments dont help. i read the OP page a few times and it doesnt make sense but thanks for your 2 cents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fdigl:
Well, I wasn't trying to be childish. I'm simply providing information that's already available in previous pages of a relatively short thread. Generally, one would read a bit after the first page to see if things worked or not.

====END RESPONSE====

Anyways, I've found something interesting. If I restore back to my old nandroid (Echoe v29.1? It's 4.4.2), SMS works (as expected). However, if I flash to v49 (not to a nandroid made while on v49), SMS will work for 1 message or MMS, then the phone refuses to send messages again. I'm currently unsure of whether this is an exclusive case or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
A Question before I flash tomorrow:

A) Any explanation for the UI mods(they make 0 sense to me)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Drake9897:
Flashed this on my MDK S4 and got an unauthorized access screen. Flashed the hybrid max kernel as others suggested on this post and Just got boot loops. Also tried the golden ROM posted in the General section and got bootloops. Great ROMs /s .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Did you flash the upgrade through Odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] awskier08:
Is the SMS sending fixed on this yet?

Is it going to be?

Working SMS and MMS!

I did some research on other S4 forums, and came across the Sprint S4 development section. They were having the exact same issue with their lollipop ROM's. Their solution, ironically, was to extract a few of the lib files from the released Verizon S4 ROM from [MENTION=4708661]muniz_ri[/MENTION] to fix their SMS and MMS problem. However, this has not been implemented into any of their 5.0 TW ROM's as of yet. It is currently a fix posted by [MENTION=2040094]troyboytn[/MENTION]. It only involves pushing some files via a root file explorer and changing a couple file permissions.

Here is the link to the post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60554117&postcount=281

(And a big thanks to [MENTION=3732686]thastaniard[/MENTION] who assisted with the fix)

It also seems we both have the same issue with the default Samsung messenger app when implementing this fix. You cannot send MMS from it. However, you can use either Hangouts or Textra to send SMS and MMS just fine. I have not tested receiving MMS, but I wanted to get this out for other people to try.

[MENTION=3618916]gigilie[/MENTION] I imagine this fix could be implemented in your next release (if you haven't already found this solution). It could also be converted into a flashable zip, I just don't have the time right now to make one. There may also be a solution for the default messenger app and sending MMS.

On a side note, does anyone know how to enable "None" as the screen lock? The options for "Swype" and "None" are grayed out in the settings. I have changed security settings and tried different kernels, but nothing works.

Thanks for the AWESOME ROM! :highfive:

Hi

I'm on 39.1 XIII

Can I install newest version on old bootloader with no knox?

If not what steps should I take?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 66gt350:
I just tried this fix and I was able to send and receive a text using Handscent.

Awesome finding this fix!

Thanks!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Cool. Now all I need is Wanam and xmod before I make a full transition to this ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
another possible

Hey someone with mms issues please flash https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952608207 that fix using flashfire or safestrap. Tell me if it helps. Just an fyi it seems more of a conflict of interest for some on vzw using their propritary apn apps as im on i545 but use tmobile or metropcs apns and havent had a problem texting or calling. Weird right? Its an issue in either the csc, build prop or propritary vzw apps i believe. This fix is from my guy Carotix. Anyway ive got a few other roms for lollipop available and am readying 4 for public releases have you guys tried those and are there issues with mms present in them? (Im using a bit different set up for the lollipop base now)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
yuh huh u must not have followed instructions very well. Would u like to trade phones? Ill include an updated and fully working rom for gold or super6. Otherwise maybe its time u upgraded (lol no dont do that)once again,because i love repetition if on mdk.... flash the rom. Flash a custom kernel hybrid max works for some but id check the international threads for advice. Flash the 5.0 modem no hlos. Then restart phone after all those are flashed not beforehand dont be shortbus then complain about being shortbus like its my fault u cant read. they both will work fine if on old bootloaders. But it was designed for those on 4.4.2 bootloaders using my upgrade to 5.01 minus the bootloaders using safestrap guide. Sorry if your having additional steps. U know u can flash basically any rom with mdk like aosp gpe or cm all work for you. U just need the right kernel for us its stock vzw only. For you it is not. Do u understand or would u care to waste more of my time with answers already given
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Hey, are the modules needed to be flashed? I had some trouble with wifi...

I'm planning to make the transition this weekend(two days) if Wanam Xposed gets up and running. I still hate the Sammy colors in the notification bar.. xD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spliffstar1904:
[MENTION=3618916]gigilie[/MENTION] i flashed the file to see if mms/sms worked in flashfire and im still unable to send messages. i also reinstalled SS but when i reboot and select recovery it just boots straight into the rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
Youll need either the nc2flasher.apk i just released found in my androidfilehost /lollipop directory installed or you need to flash the temp downgrader file also found there to enter safestrap. Then when done in ss you need to flash the reupgrade tar in odin.

Has anyone with vz service tried selecting the other option instead of vzw i put in aroma installer. Then setup your apns manually. You may need to flash my nk4 wifi fix after selecting that option. The fix thread would be found in the vzw general section

Has anyone had any trouble getting Bluetooth working on this rom? I get "Unfortunately, Bluetooth had stopped" every time I attempt to turn it on.

I guess using the VZW settings when flashing the ROM Was the issue, whoops! I also flashed the newest modem and made a flash able zip for everyone! Sorry about my sarcasm if I upset you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
So... Flashing the this ROM... I can't find the post to fix the fricking sms/mms though, and I can't flash w/o that. I THINK someone converted it into a flashable .zip, but from what I remember you have to take some stuff out of the other OC1 stock and place it instead of the ones here? Something like that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Just flashed, WiFi Works. Loving it so far, which is weird because normally I abhor touchwiz.. Trying out the sms fix.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Failrunner:
I'm confused do i have to install the rom just to get the apk and then downgrade back to kitkat just to flash it? Where is the nc2flasher.apk? I can't find a link with a Google search. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Somewhere in this thread or the Q & A, someone posted the fix. You have to replace three files in System/Lib with Root set to r/w on all...

What do you mean?

Install ROM, SuperSU.

Odin the Upgrade

SMS fix

pray you don't use xmod like me I couldn't stay on the ROM with some bluetooth crashed every several minutes...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] chuciulla93:
Does anyone on the stock lollipop kernel [locked bootloader] have Bluetooth working properly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Yep.

Also, [MENTION=3618916]gigilie[/MENTION], Have you found a fix for the constant Bluetooth Crashes? I don't use it, but it annoyed me for the day I used the ROM.

MIGHT flash today...

I don't know why people are having bluetooth problems. My bluetooth works fine, ever since I upgraded to v49.

OTA for ECHOE ROM V49C to D upgrade strictly for VZW Service users

First off I'm sorry about the thread being down for a few days. I wasn't really available. I have permission to use the ROM and I also had no idea that ECHOE and co had moved from XDA or anything about the related (still don't really) I had just tried to bring a ROM to VZW users and it was the first I used that I was able to easily port (I know, I know except I fd up and MMS didnt work for people using Verizon Service) but it was more a development tool for testing future ROMs and knowing what would work for Lollipop as it was all new to me less than a month ago. So with that said, in honor of ECHOE and their decisions, I will be discontinuing the development of this ROM following the release of this OTA (I'll also offer the ROM to the team if they'd like to host it and continue development of the VZW S4 thread on their website [MENTION=4401403]friedrich420[/MENTION] or @4aces get ahold of me if you'd be interested) and as soon as I get done testing the newest version I came up with that has a whole lotta new MODs and Theme options in the Aroma installer I injected. That release hopefully will happen in the next few days and then I'll offer a month of support before closing this thread.

So this update won't apply to all of you if your using the I545 and have no problems texting or using phone like me or the AT&T, TMO, Sprint users of this ROM just ignore this update as it really just fixes a few things for those trying to use the I545 with VZW service. This little fix/update will replace CSC, add a lot to build.prop (some new tweaks too), swap out abunch of lib and ril files, along with add in a lot of VZW only files examine the zip if you want to know what all I changed... This zip could alternatively be used with nearly any ROM similarly to jrkruse's International Port Patches for VZW Customers.

I tested this myself while the thread was down. Worked for me on a friends phone.

ECHOE ROM V49c to D OTA for VZW

OTA - Minus the telephony and Phone conversion fileshttps://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952611421https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952611421

To install flash in Safestrap, Flashfire, TWRP or whatever you use... But wipe data and cache's after installing and first boot will take a very long while... it also might appear to be in italian but you can change that when the setup screen pops up to English (US) and it will boot I got tricked 2 times into thinking it wasn't going to and restarted the phone out of frustration cleared out the Cache and the Dalvik but that just resets the time the phone will spend setting up ART... I didn't clock the 1st boot but it felt like nearly 25mins!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 06sharpshot:
So as someone looking to flash this rom, I would need to flash the ROM posted in the OP as well as this patch? Also, did I understand correctly that all VZW issues are fixed with this patch? Thanks again for all your work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Likkleskip:
This rom is great was hesitant in flashing but now I did I really like it.. would love an option for back button kill app but I still love it and battery is great too.. thanks man [MENTION=3618916]gigilie[/MENTION]

Thanks gigilie its kinda slow for the old s4 l8ly keep up the good work. Its roms like these that have sticking with this old phone.....still lkve it when ive got roms like this. Would love to see the car hd (lollipop version) ported also. Whatcha think? Or can i just flash this patch on top of it?

Re Flashed with the one from the original post and did the sms fix, most things are working now. Just two main issues: the phone says that hands free mode is enabled, and I can't get it to turn of?? and the second, is that the home button will not return me to the launcher from apps. They might be related, any thoughts?

OK i flashed my xposed mod :D it seems to be rebooting fine

Thanks, I forgot that method was created.

EDIT: Now no signal, network or texting. It was working before...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ATGkompressor:
I assume u used the method posted in the link I provided. If so...have you been able to get things stabilized?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Yes. Everything seems to be working fine. Not sure what caused the problem with the signal but it took a few reboots. Everything seems to be fine and I'm just running a lot of apps to make sure. One problem I found is bluetooth failing twice upon restart and going away. This seems to be happening with other ROMs on Kitkat...

Alright so The mobile net connection stops working and acts as there is no SIM after about two hours of non-use. A full reboot fixes this temporarily....

That's for people who will want to run this ROM

There is a MMS fix with either a flashing method or simply copying three files to a certain folder in the ROM. Look back a few Pages.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ATGkompressor:
No, I couldn't get Wi-Fi to work. Couldn't access safestrap (under any circumstance). Tried the texting fix, didn't work. Play Store, settings, play services in constant force close. Couldn't switch settings from tab to list view. Couldn't clear app data and cache. Just a plethora of problems. Then tried to go back to muniz's deodex build and hung up on custom lockscreen. Had to Odin back to nc5. Which is what I was trying to avoid. But I'm all good now. On muniz's deodex. Gonna c if I can get xposed rocking.

Huh, I had absolutely none of the problems...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] happy2472:
Do you have gogolies wifi fix? Id try it again and wile everything but the sd card
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
you probably didn't wipe first. or choose that as an option in aroma. eitherway wipe data and system in Safestrap (which you need my nc2flasher.apk to restart from Lollipop to Safestrap FYI otherwise you need to flash the downgrade file in Odin) thats going to fix every issue you have except the Settings to List View. Xposed works fine and so does literally everything else for me... I havent heard too much in regards to stuff not working. Try my other 2 ROMs avail GOLD and Super6 (an S6 stock everything possible to this point on S4) there pretty sweet.... I'm trying to do straight ports and not modify the releases too much from their original version so the tab to list view might not be an option. but by all means do as you please. i have a stock rom i was working on thats cleaned n debloated deodexed deKNOXed n rooted that i keep forgetting about that will be out soon too. I just hate KNOX.

Anyone with WiFi issues should make sure their bootloader, nhlos, modem and firmware are all matching if your on anything other than MDK. Flash my WiFi fix for NK4 should fix that issue if you have it. Otherwise please continue to post any issues with ROM before I release this next version thanks!
