Galaxy tools didn't work either. Tried a gift card cut up and tried my wife's SIM. Nothing works.

I'm sure I'm not the only one with the no sim problem that couldn't get the hotspot to work. Hopefully someone will chime in with a solution.

My problem is that my phone doesnt recognize that a SIM is installed so it won't allow me past the no SIM error to enable hotspot. The mod is there, but I guess theres something wrong with my phone since I'm the only one with the problem. Git the error on 10.8, 10.9 & 10.9 bare bones

No, only when system files are deleted or changed versions, you are replacing the a file with the same file.

Hi there everyone!

Came here from the GPE 5.1 ROM 'cause the development stopped and so far I'm LOVING IT!

Everything is nice and tidy, works well! Used Titanium Backup to rip out Google App, Play, Music, and a few other things since I was going to flash a number of inverted Apps from TBO since I like it that way (...and my old ass eyes can see the inverted apps substantially easier..)

Very much looking forward to seeing how far and how dark we can get the rest of things on this ROM!

Especially Contacts, Phone Dialer, Gallery, and Settings... Looking forward to more dark...

Thanks again for a WONDERFUL rom sir.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
So far I have been unable to recompile Contacts or Phone. I'm currently working on the others though, they are all in framework_res.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] oberon567:
Taking your advice from a different thread, bilgerry, I am looking at your WIcked-X and thinking about flashing it.

Here is the thing. Living where I do (rural southern India) my internet is not especially great, and also not especially cheap. So downloading a 1gb ROM only to discover it doesn't work is a less than exciting idea.

So, before I go through the hassle of changing my firmware and downloading this ROM, I have to ask about the APN situation... As I mentioned in another thread, my SIM unlock is fine, but I need to set the APN for the local carrier here in India. When I was using the stock software (and Android 4.4.2) I was able to freely add and edit APNs without any effort. I flashed to a new ROM (that is running Android 6.0.1) and it does not let me touch the APNs, and as such I cannot use anything, voice, message, or data (though wifi works fine).

In addition, at least running this ROM, I have yet to find a method that lets me get to the hidden menu and edit the APNs that way.

So my question is, if I flash this, will I be able to modify the APNs? Or will there be more acrobats to go through?

The bloatware and branding from the original Sprint/Samsung configuration was incredibly aggravating... but the phone worked, and now it doesn't... If this ROM can give me APN access and get rid of that bloat, and hopefully improve battery life while it is at it, I will be quite stoked...

EDIT: This is a Touchwiz mod... So can I assume that Galaxy Tools works with this ROM? And through Galaxy Tools I can then change my APN?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Nope, no hoops to jump through. You can edit APNs out of the box.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
I got the Settings and Music and Email... It was called Material_Blue_Grey_800... however there is one small problem, see last screenshot... I'm fine with it, if you guys think it needs more work then I'll start hunting through styles.xml and find all the occurrences of Material_Blue_Grey_800.

Flash in recovery, let me know if you find any other problems with black on black or black on grey.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] oberon567:
Sorry, as I prepare to flash this and I am getting my ducks in a row, I have a few questions...

Again, to set the scene - L720T, Baseband OA3, SIM unlocked, living in southern India and having both CDMA and GSM available would be ideal.

Can someone confirm or correct these steps?

1. Install the firmware for either OD2 or OH1 using Odin

2. If I go to OH1 then I have to also flash the OH1 kernel using TWRP; if I go to OD2 then no need

3. Do I need to use the L720T converter? There is no 10.9 converter available, only up through 10.8...

4. Wipe everything in TWRP

5. Flash the ROM in TWRP

6. Set APN as needed

7. Unlock the modem for GSM? Is that possible if I am on OD2 or OH1?

I know the OP has instructions, and they are mostly clear. I guess my biggest questions are about (1) the L720T converter, since there is not yet one to download for 10.9 that I can find, and also (2) if there is any reason to go to firmware OH1 instead of OD2, seeing as how going to OH1 will require flashing the kernel as well as (3) what the situation regarding unlocking the modem will be for GSM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Steps 2 & 3 are no longer needed as we have a custom kernel on v10.9 that works on OD2/OH1 and for both the L720 & L720T so we are now fully universal for the Sprint S4s.. I need to update the OP some more.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] oberon567:
Thanks, good to know.

Just because my SIM is unlocked, that does not mean my modem is unlocked and that my phone is able to access all possible bands/frequencies that the hardware may support. Since I am outside of the US then the SIM unlock should be enough for the international GSM unlock but if I want/need to unlock my modem for all (ie, US, in case I visit home) GSM use it seems all of the current suggested methods require downgrading the modem to MK5. Will downgrading the modem to MK5 screw up other functionality, if done after the ROM is flashed and stable?

Hi there -

Tried your .zip and it messed up a couple of other programs with the black on Black thing. Might have even messed with more than just the colors - Business Calendar Pro came back from reboot telling me I had not chosen any calendars. Worked fine before...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:

[MENTION=4310299]bilgerryan[/MENTION], just a quick question does what you said previously about the custom kernel mean that 10.9 will not work properly with OK3? If I update to ok3 to test CM13 would I need to downgrade to run 10.9 as my daily?

Edit: also I am experience an issue where connecting to my laptop as a storage device yields uncontrollable connect / disconnects?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] AlpineMan:
After flashing the settings and default Samsung keyboard plus setting default keyboard, the random reboots have stopped. Not sure if it's coincidence.

I was on stock rooted OD2 ROM, did a clean flash of 10.3. I didn't have to install 10.2. Everything's working now and no more random reboots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Yeah I'm gonna still recommend it be done with v10.2 first, that way users don't freak out when they get random reboots or keyboard force closes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] BoominSVX:
I'm going to put in my vote for the removal of the S finder and quick connect buttons, as well as the removal of the loud volume warning. My ears know the long term effects, but when I switch sources on the radio in the truck, FM radio will shudder the windows. I popped the fuse on my amp today because I keep forgetting the phone retards my volume cause it's smarter than me and my radio.

Question for you. I have Pandora on my double din deck. My girl's s4 from straight talk works perfectly on it. I got it after I installed lollipop. I can't be positive that the s4 would have worked on kitkat, but I tried the old S3 and it worked fine. The problem is lollipop won't connect media audio. It pairs and routes calls, but won't play music through a2dp under pandora. If I connect it using the "BT Audio" source instead of "Pandora" source, it'll stream correctly, but when I upgraded the firmware I lost that too. The radio is getting phased out so no help from pioneer or the AVIC forums. Might you have any ideas why media audio is fighting me? Sometimes it yells at me about DSP+ force closing, but I'm not sure if that's due to BT or just because I'm using multiple memory hogs at once. With pandora as the source on my radio, I lose the check mark for media audio and the sound just comes out of the phone speaker. No amount of trying will let me activate that check mark. I've reset the radio, cleared cache and delvik, cleared app data on btTest and Bluetooth apps, unpaired and repair 372.5 times. I'd hate to have to go back to 4.4.4 over this. Any ideas?

GREAT WORK BY THE WAY!!! The rest is working great! Awesome to see someone still going strong with the S4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Double din deck? No ideas, I have no problems with my 7 year old BT headset or my BT Speaker. Is/Was this problem present on previous versions of this ROM (v10.2)? Stock OD2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] BoominSVX:
I didn't get the chance to try it with stock OD2 or 10.1. These issues were discovered for the first time on 10.2, but I held off on 10.3 because AT THE TIME you desired a full wipe for the upgrade. Now that I know it's safer to flash over 10.2, I just went ahead and did it. In the process I covered my jeans in redbull. I guess that's as far as I'm going tonight. If I can snag a logcat of the 2 minute process of pairing and failure, I'll try to post it for you. Otherwise I guess it's a needle in a haystack and I'd rather not take up any of your time. I'll let you know if I come across anything relevant. Oh, and a pull down flashlight toggle would be great. Again, AWESOME job so far!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] RP-88:
I am on stock rooted OD2 (via OTA), been to busy... maybe a little lazy mixed in... to have the time to install 10.2/3. But if it helps any I have an AR3 (Double DIN for those who don't know) and can stream Pandora via the Pandora selection and BT option without any problems. But what has changed with Lollipop is that on the BT input I no longer see the song info displayed on the screen, but on the Pandora setting the song info and album art both display normally.

In KitKat it all seemed to work fine as streaming worked and info displayed in both the Pandora and BT connection methods.

Unrelated to the above, but one thing that does work that never worked on KitKat is Roaming. I bought the phone used when it was about 2mo old and have had it for almost 7mo now and it has never roamed. Even when I would take it to places where I knew it should, were my EVO LTE had roamed. The S4 either had Sprint service or no service at all, factory reset, refreshed network settings, etc, nothing fixed it. Well today I found one of those very rare places where I live now that Sprints coverage fades and it actually roamed!

LMAO I know, crazy thing to be a little excited over, but understand that where I lived before was surrounded by wide open... nothingness. Military base on over 2/3's of it's boarders, Indian Reservation and Weyerhaeuser covering most of the other 1/3'rd, so for miles headed in or out the limited and very spotty area's that VZ managed to reach (and US Cellular in one small spot) was the only way to have a connection of any kind.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] oberon567:
Is there any reason/benefit to flashing to one firmware or another? Which is to say, if this ROM is confirmed to work on various firmwares, does the newer firmware offer something, in terms of performance or battery life or quality in any way, that an older one does not? Since I have t flash anyway, is there a reason to choose OK3 over OH1 over OD2 (assuming they all work seamlessly with the ROM)?

Also, I am pretty sure I know the answer to this already. But I would prefer to see it in writing before I start doing things, and I haven't flashed a firmware before, so....

I have TWRP 3 installed now. Once I Odin flash the new firmware, I will need to re-Odin flash TWRP, right? And, if yes, I do those both at once, yeah? Also, I will need to copy the ROM to the SD *after* the firmware flash, otherwise it will be lost at the point, right? As in:

[0) Do a backup using TWRP]

1) Flash the firmware in ODIN (AP slot, "F. Reset Time" checked but nothing else, especially not auto-reboot);

2) Flash TWRP in ODIN (also AP slot, same setting as above);

3) Disconnect from computer, power off, battery pull, restart in recovery mode to lock in TWRP;

4) Reboot into regular mode, again connect to PC, copy ROM file to phone

5) Reboot into recovery;

6) Format/wipe as needed from within TWRP;

7) Flash ROM from within TWRP;

Sorry for asking obvious questions. Just want to confirm everything's in a row before I start knocking everything down, avoid as many surprises as I can...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] oberon567:
This is my first time installing this ROM (from rooted stock OA3 on a L720T) ... If what you say is true then the OP/developer is incorrect in saying:

and all I need is the modem, not the full firmware? (Adding OK3 into the list of acceptable models)

And the ROM contains the root, right? As long as I flash this ROM from TWRP -- which I do not need root to do -- then the root will be applied with the ROM at that time. SO even if I flash new firmware, I do not need to manually root the phone, that will happen when I flash the ROM.... right?

The crux of my earlier post is, if I flash the full firmware, as instructed in the OP, will it 1) Wipe my already installed custom recovery (TWRP) so that I have to reinstall that? and 2) Will it wipe my personal folders and so forth that I need to copy the ROM file onto the phone *after* updating the firmware, or if I copy it on first will it stay there and be ready for use after the firmware has been installed?

If it *is* the case that only the modem needs to be flashed then that negates my other question. If that is not the case and I do need the entire framework then I again ask, is there any demonstrable reason to choose one firmware over another given that firmware is simply serving as the base for this ROM? Would this ROM (or any other custom ROM for that matter) function differently in terms of battery life and performance speed and so forth if flashed onto a OH1 instead of OK3? Or are the differences in firmware really only noticeable when dealing with the stock ROMs?
