For those of you ON MDK, after flashing the ROM and updating the SuperSU binaries are you getting the Samsung custom boot screen with the lock? I've tried a few things but can't get rid of it. Any ideas?

Lately i've had issues with having to restart my phone completely to get my S4 to reconnect to my Cell network. I was never able to completely get my lockscreen to work either. I'm contemplating ODINing and starting all over. I've tried searching the thread but didn't see anyone else with the same problems. Any recommendations?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] itsmejson:
Does the surge1223 kernel have customized settings? If so what can be used to do this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Try asking in his thread. This is the ROM's thread.

Do you have a link to his thread for the kernel? I have not been able to find anything

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tourney3p0:
I tried both the Flashfire and the SafeStrap methods. Both attempts were coming from the NK1 bootloader.

I first tried Flashfire. Everything appeared to work great, but after the final reboot, it got stuck on the "Custom" boot screen for awhile before finally looping between the stock recovery screen. Nothing I did would allow me to proceed. I am absolutely sure that I moved "Wipe" up to the first selection in the list since it defaulted to the end. Just to make sure, I Odined back to NK1 and tried again. Same thing. I assume this is a Flashfire problem though and not a problem with this ROM.

I then tried with SafeStrap after using Odin to once again get back to NK1. I followed the instructions in this thread, first installing the ROM, then the firmware, then the beta SuperSU, and finally the kernel. It rebooted as expected, but Wifi does not work. Also I had some previously-installed programs still installed because the guide does not mention wiping.

Finally I once again Odined back to NK1, rooted/safestrapped, wiped, installed the ROM, reinstalled the firmware, installed SuperSU, installed the kernel, and rebooted. Same problem - no wifi.

Any recommendations? I greatly appreciate your work on this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Haven't had any problems with wifi at all. You always wipe when installing a Rom. So you would need to wipe dalvik and cache , and also of your using SS did you install in main slot?

I have the WiFi modules baked in but I can make a flashable for you for the WiFi modules. Pretty positive I have one already made from a buddy [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION]. Let me know what I can do as it should be working perfectly. Everything has been tested extensively along with boot instructions . I may need to add flash in main slot for SS.

[MENTION=5574802]Neffy27[/MENTION] did you get those xml's installed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tourney3p0:
For what it's worth, here's what I get in my adb logcat when I try to enable wifi (unrelated stuff removed):

I/WifiManager( 4024): packageName : com.android.settings

D/SecContentProvider( 1019): uri = 18 selection = isWifiEnabled

D/SecContentProvider2( 1019): uri = 20 selection = isWifiStateChangeAllowed

D/WifiService( 1019): setWifiEnabled: true pid=4024, uid=1000

D/SettingsProvider( 1019): name = wifi_on

E/WifiHW ( 1019): ##################### set firmware type 0 #####################

E/WifiHW ( 1019): Cannot open "/data/.cid.info": No such file or directory

E/WifiHW ( 1019): ==========[WIFI] Station firmware load ===========

E/WifiHW ( 1019): return of insmod : ret = -1, Exec format error

The "Exec format error" leads me to believe that it's a corrupted kernel module, possibly due to a faulty download(?). I'll go ahead and redownload everything in case something happened during one of the downloads. Even if I were to load the wifi module as a standalone, there's no telling what else may be wrong if I'm loading a faulty file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
That is definitely true. I have the modules if for some odd reason it doesn't work.

Hey, does a battery pull affect the lofcat thing. Seeing as I can't setup ADB on my PC(It needs a clean install badly) and I am using syslog? Cause sometimes my phone stops responding to anything and I have to pull the battery. Not sure if I reported this...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Na pulling the battery won't erase or do anything to your logs as they are stored in a different spot. So your phone randomly just started freezing? Install any new apps or modules?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tourney3p0:
Alright, so I'm still not having any luck. Here's what I've done:

First I redownloaded everything. I ran an md5 checker on both the new copies and the old copies and ensured they were the same, so it's not a corrupted download. I then moved the new copies onto the SD card in case there was an error during the transfer.

I then installed NC5Flasher and rebooted to SafeStrap. I wiped everything but sdcard and data. I then installed the ROM, the OC1 firmware, SuperSU, and the kernel. Everything went smoothly, but I still don't have wifi. Logcat is showing the same error I pasted before.

Three things that might be worth mentioning: First, there is no SDCard installed in this phone. I assume this isn't a problem, but maybe wifi depends on something that gets installed to SD Card? Farfetched and probably not an issue, but I wanted to mention it anyway.

Secondly, each time I have installed, I get a message every few minutes saying unauthorized actions have been detected. I Googled it and noticed this was related to Knox, but I don't see Knox installed anywhere (nor do I want it).

Finally, there is no SIM card installed in this phone, if it matters. I'm getting it ready for a friend who will be using it once I'm finished. Again, I don't see how that would affect wifi but I wanted to mention it anyway since I'm no expert.

I'm left scratching my head on this one. Surely there isn't something weird about this phone that makes it unlike others. Is there anything else I can do to help troubleshoot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Did you remove knox with supersu when you started over with Odin to nc5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sinner822:
Are you starting from 4.4.2 or 5.01?

Try I545VRUGOC1_modem_apnhlos.zip if coming from.Kkit Kat. I always flash modems and kernel on a fresh install. Never have problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tourney3p0:
Yep. It said it was successful. And I'm sure I would have done it, because I had to go through the SuperSU process in order to use Flashfire (the first time) or SafeStrap (second and third times). For my last load, I used NC5Flasher to reload the ROM from OC1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
the firmware upgrade does include the OC1 modem and non-hlos files

i dont see any reason for wifi not to be working.

You are the only one that has ever had any problems it seems
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tourney3p0:
That fixed it! I greatly appreciate it.

Thanks again to everyone who helped and to the developer who released the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Great! Glad you got it working.

Don't know why it wouldn't stick for you with the other zip but at least it's working now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] haza12d:
I'm having wifi issues as well. Where can I find the zip mentioned above and I flash the zip through Odin correct?

No, this happened after flash and I didn't install anything, and it happens after that as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikePeterMcCabe:
Well, [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] -

As you know, I have been enjoying your ROM for months now, and though my XDA profile is rather new, I am not a noob and know pretty well what I am doing (I helped get the WiFi Direct working).

But, as I have been on vacation in NH the last many days... I experienced an issue with my phone (created by me) and figured "what the hell, I will just Odin to OC1 (I am non MDK) and root using King Root like it says in the OP."

I saw so many people having success and seeing how it's been posted be erywhere in forums that people have been doing that.

I have tried EVERYTHING....with King Root..... it will NOT root OC1. I don't know if the cloud they use is messed up.... or if it's blocked completely on Verizon network, metrocast, and comcast....

GOD HELP ME I CAN'T OPERATE WITHOUT ROOT!!!!

I am stuck seeing the software update in my status bar that would take me to OF1.

What do I do?????

In the meantime.... I suggest taking that root instruction out of the OP until we confirm it is working again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Still works but only works on desktop. Just rooted a s4 yesterday for a buddy. Delete the SDM app. And it won't install that crap ware(OF1). Or freeze if you want. I deleted. Were you on desktop when you tried to re root? If so try several times it eventually works. I remember you [emoji106] [emoji2] your help is greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikePeterMcCabe:
Oh I'm sorry, I meant that I am Non-MDK. I was on NC5 base before... I was just trying to eliminate a step. I am on stock OC1 having used the Surge full wipe tar. I can't delete the SDM app or freeze it because I ain't got root. Question...

What version of Windows did you use for King Root. I only have Win 7. I tried several versions of it, with no luck. I had a screen a couple times that looked like it worked.. but there was no King root app after... and when I went to terminal emul. to switch to Super SU, it said "not found". Is there any way you could send me the desktop version of King Root you used ?

I want to eliminate the possibility that I have the wrong stuff or its corrupted. Everything tries to block the download. I know this is off topic a bit ...and I apologize, but I just want to get back on your ROM!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hypertek:
My s4 screen broke a few days ago.. so i ordered a new digitizer/frame on amazon.. got it yesterday and repaired my phone.. Was having issues with hyperdriverom with random reboots and what not.. so looked into a new rom. Chose this one.. flashed it via twrp. Been rock solid since! super smooth and reliable.

Brought fresh life back into my s4. I was considering upgrading to an s6 or note5, but they just really didnt appeal to me as my old s4 could still do everything just as good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I miss read so I edited my comment sorry about that. OK let me see where I have it . I keep forgetting you can't do anything with SDM until root. Dang. Let me look around

I did it on windows 7. Can't stand anything past 7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikePeterMcCabe:
Got it fixed? I consider this broken. Lol.

That's refreshing that you used Windows 7... that means I still have a chance! I also hate anything past 7
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Sorry was reading other comment and typed got it fixed lol. I am everywhere ..... 2 kids will do this to you hahahah. Ya anything past 7 is garbage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Windows 8 made me switch back to 7 until 8.1 came out which dealt with all I disliked from 8. Windows 10s I like more. They are proven better then 7 performance wise though I can relate to Windows 7's interface appeal.

Anyways... [MENTION=520371]mikepetermcabe[/MENTION] - have you tried looking or asking in the root thread? Just saying cause this is a ROM thread and that thread will have more people focused with rooting be able to assist you. Though we all can appreciate [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION]'s willingness to help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I left my dang USB drive @,his house. He's gonna try and see if he can bring it back to me around lunch. Looked on my 2 computers and i remember I just kept it on that USB because I didn't trust it enough to leave the file on my computer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I'll test my win 7 performance against your wins 10 or 8.1 any day[emoji48] . Win 7 is faster by all means. Making a computer like a windows phone is not a good idea lol(of course everyone likes different things). If everyone had a touch screen maybe people would like it more. But how many people you know with touch screen computers ? Eliminate the dumb tiles and focus on desktop. [emoji106]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Official benchmarks are already out, already proven. Have not bought windows phone yet, probably wont anytime soon. The tiles/tablet mode are optional. I use windows 10 with SSDs in desktop mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Windows 10 is a patch for 8.1.

I don't want to have to pick a option for desktop when I bought a desktop. Makes no sense to me. But everyone likes different things. Were these bench marks done on same computer with same hardware?? A lot of times they do that so you will upgrade also(tactic). Just like giving out updates that make your phone mess up thus making you want to upgrade. Ive tried them all. Lol but again everyone likes different things.

People showed the thunderbolt with low scores. When I ran it mine was faster then the higher end phones. So I guess in the grand scheme of things depends on what you use it for and how you set it up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Same with me. Not enough improvement to make me want to get it. Hopefully s7 brings it. I know its supposed to have removable battery and SD. [emoji6]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Stang as a Microsoft dev and a guy that has access to unlimited downloads of any version of windows for the next two years... 10 is good if you have pro. I have 7 on my main machine, but my side machine is a tri boot of win 10 and Linux.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I have access as well to all versions. Have them all on disks. I use duel boot with 7 and linux. Pro doesn't do anything with the tiles either. [emoji6] . Without a touch screen seems like a real mess up to me. But everyone has their own opinions of course. But any big companies along with most consumers are on 7 if they know what they are doing. Nothing but problems with programs and so on since windows 8. But either way I don't care lol . I'll stick with what I know is faster. As I have a Bach degree in computer science. Have fun with win 10 though [emoji2]

Do you know where I could get the older version of the Google Wallet app? I actually liked it much better than the new Android Pay and seperate Google Wallet they have now.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Joe_6pak:
If you want this for tap to pay,

it will not work

! Google has disabled the tap-to-pay functionality for Wallet as of last week AFAIK. You get a cute little notice when you install the Wallet app that tap to pay no longer works and you have to upgrade to Android Pay. If you do upgrade, Android Pay will not work with this ROM or on any rooted phone for that matter :( .

I have been able to get the cards to load on a stock version of Lollipop on my N9 (I had wifi access at the time I tested this, so that's not an issue), but the cards cannot be used to pay for anything (AP denies the card's use once you re-enable Superuser and they will not work again, even if you disable it). I was able to get a card to work right after I enabled it, but once I re-enabled Superuser, the card crapped out and could not be used again no matter what. I'll keep doing what I can to get this working, but I think it's a case of banging my head into a wall. I was going to try a completely stock ROM on my phone, but I haven't had the guts to pull the plug on this ROM yet.

You may have gathered by this that I am REALLY pissed at Google for this latest move! Nothing against you stang - this ROM kicks a$$! But if I wanted tap to pay so bad that I had to go back to the Dark Side (a locked-down OS), I would have bought an iTurd!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I didn't know that thanks for letting me know. Android pay should work.. I don't use it but is there any way you can get me a log? I want to see if I can fix it. Or if its just rooted phones that are effected by this. I know a lot of people are pi$$ed about google and the crap pay they are forcing people into. Not sure if you have this app but get "catalog" And see if you can send me a log. You can put in fake numbers for the card since it looses it before you try to pay right?

I can't do iturd either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Joe_6pak:
Will do. Give me some time and I'll get it over to you sometime tonight. I uninstalled Android Pay from my phone, so I'll have to reload and test. The last time I tried it, though, it didn't work eve with Superuser disabled, Root Cloak installed or NoDeviceCheck installed. I was going to try muniz_ri's stock ROM, but I saw that's where yours was derived from and figured I'd be grasping at straws with that. What can I say - I miss wowing people with tap-to-pay!

BTW, I'm on an unlocked MDK bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
You could try his. Mine is not really from his. Mine came from Samsung on v2 . I got some things from him on v1 but not main aspects. If you do try it I would try the odex version. I know some apps have trouble because they are in deodex form. If that's the case we can simply put the odex app in the Rom and it should work. But that would be to easy. Lol.

I'm MDK to so it should be perfect
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swing4thefence:
Earlier in the thread you said there is a problem with force-closes but that they go away once you update the apps. My google play store is force-closing, so how do I update the apps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Joe_6pak:
I ran a logcat file but I don't see where there would be any credit card info. Where should I look? Is it even stored on my phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
What did you use to run the log? If you used Catlog from app store it should show you where its at to send it and to see of you see any numbers or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I don't remember talking to you about this.... I don't have any issues with Play store at all. Maybe you didn't get everything when reflashing. I know you were on gigglie s Rom so. Try clearing data for play store app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swing4thefence:
thanks for the quick response. I was on Gdux, but I couldn't get my mobile internet working. I tried a couple of different OC1 colonels with no success so I gave up on that one. I went back to the development forum and saw yours and the rest is history.

It started the force-closes after I tried to install xposed so I tried flashing the xposed uninstaller and that just locked me in a bootloop.

So I gave up on xposed and did a factory reset and so far so good. The only thing I wanted xposed for anyway was to change the notification bar to black.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
No comment . lol what versions of xposed were you trying?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Joe_6pak:
I ran a logcat through ADB. I'll try Catlog tonite - looks really cool!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] psu90:
The credit card info isn't stored on your phone. It's server side. Everything is tokenized & single use at that. That's why the new Android, Apple Pay & chip & pin cards are so secure. The card number is never transmitted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Thanks for the info as I don't use it. Makes sense. Would be a big security risk of it was.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bones519:
I just encountered a strange issue. When I try to use a speedometer app from the Play Store, & I have tried a number of them, they don't work with the GPS. One even said GPS not ready. I had the GPS on and Google Maps worked but I could not get the speedometer apps to work. This may sound odd, but one of my trucks at work doesn't have a speedometer and so in the past, when on KitKat, I useda speedometer app. Not sure if this is a lollipop issue or a rom issue... Any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Not sure if you have tried this one. But it works on mine and this is the only speedometer app I use. They finally integrated into maps. I have paid version

I like how it turns red when your going over the speed limit.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pip77:
Yep. Removed it, restart phone, reinstalled, still get the same error message. The only other thing I have noticed is that when I restart the phone, it shows the 'Samsung Galaxy S4' splash screen instead of the 'Samsung' with the unlock symbol splash screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ATGkompressor:
Try going into stock recovery and wiping the cache partition. if that dosnt work u may need to upgrade xposed to v65 and use the 3.0 alpha4 xposed installer/app. If it bootloops on u, just pull the battery for a few seconds and it should boot up fine.
