Thanks for everyone's patience. Just want everyone to have a easy install

Hi

I want to know if I can install this android version on my S4

Could you help me, this are my current settings:

Android Version: 4.2.2

Basband: I545VRUDMI1

Kernel: 3.4.0-1392595

I'm outside USA and don't using it with Verizon carrier, its Unlocked but have the No Verizon Sim notification and I want to use it without all the Verizon stuff and apps.

I'm very new on android but have expierence with technology so I only need to read the "how to" and I'm sure that I can do the update but I first want to know if my phone is capable to receive this update.

Thanks for your support and sorry for my poor english.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:

Flashfire

I'm using v 0.21
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikePeterMcCabe:
Yeah, don't use that..... 19 is the recommended version. Many of the other versions have bugs/don't work right. Bet that is the problem right there!

Hi everyone. Just so I'm clear, if I'm on MDK and my phone is still on 4.2 (Cleanrom 1.6 lol) all I have to do is factory reset, flash rom, (flash gapps? or is that included?), flash the non-hlos modem, and I'm good to go? After almost 2 years of being on cleanrom 1.6 i decided it's time to switch it up a bit lol so I havent played around with my s4 in a long time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Flash Modem Only. No gapps needed

I have rooted my MD1 with root de la vega, I just have installed the Flash Fire, but idk what is OP, could you explain me pls?

OP = Original Post / Post #1 of this thread. I have never heard of that root. Recommend switching to supersu unless FF installs fine.

A lot of information just gets repeated since people don't take the time to read through the post or use search function.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hovo:
The phone set up just fine, have a couple concerns though:

1. Any way to update YouTube? Trying to update in Google Play results in an error. I don't really have a use for the modded version so updating it would be better for me.

2. When adding google accounts, I get spammed with Google+ not responding. Doesn't bug me too much but it is kind of annoying. Any idea what could be causing it?

Either way, thanks for the great ROM!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Both those questions have already been answered in this thread...

1. Uninstall YouTube, clear data/cache, reinstall via Playstore

2. Update it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hovo:
Sorry, I searched through the thread but couldn't find a way to get rid of it besides getting rid of it from the zip file and reflashing the ROM (which I don't know how to do). How can I uninstall YT? It's set as a system app on my installation so the most I can do is disable it, but then all I can do from the play store is re-enable it.

Also, on every boot, before I get to my lockscreen there is a little popup that says "Android is optimizing apps 2/2..." I tried wiping cache + dalvik cache, Android wanted to optimize all my apps, which took about 20 minues. Booted up fine, restarted again and the optimizing 2/2 came up again. Not sure what's going on, does it maybe have something to do with me freezing a couple apps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
under

Try using the application manager under for youtube.

Do you have Xposed installed? Frozen apps might be it, were they system apps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Sorry for my absence everyone trying to get kinks worked out if 2nd edition. [MENTION=5574802]Neffy27[/MENTION] thanks for helping everyone. Trying to get desktop to work and boot. Fast charging is done in kernel so when Surge1223 gets time he might be able to get that. I am not good at @ kernels sorry.:(. I can lit them in the Rom or take out. That's pretty much it with me and kernels. Give me a few working on it ;). Sorry for delays. Its giving me.the finger @ the moment.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
You can't get rid of applications optimizing due to that's what happens when you run Samsung apps on a deodexed rom. Comes from sammy using art. But small price when you don't see ugly red check in my book.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Just to let you know if you flash this you will have a constant Sim check at the top of your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dquelal:
Thanks, well I just try to update the kernel and do some more stuff to try to add this ROM but every time I got the message that a non oficial software was installed in my Verizon Phone and need to be restored by Verizon Tech Center or something like that.

Just re-installed the stock rom with the kernel MI1 via ODIN and upgraded to lollipop via KIES.

It still working in my country with my SIM and just have rooted with KingRoot.

I will try to install this Android version again next time.

Thanks 4 all guys.

[MENTION=4939386]Surge1223[/MENTION] - ::deleted:: moved question to your thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nathancarlile:
Does flash fire work from bottom to top or vice versa? Does it do what's on top or bottom first?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hovo:
Do you mean the system's application manager? All I can do from there is either force stop or disable it

Oh okay. Not too big of a deal, thanks :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Read through the posts on page 27 of this very thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Stop flashing. I am trying to fix the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
If your getting that notice you didn't follow the instructions in the OP to the tee. Now that you have taken OTA you have to use king root method , then switch king with superSU (which is in these threads if you search as Neffy27 advised). Just take some time to read. After that you would need to install FF. Then install Rom using FF instructions. Any other questions PM me.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Oh, Alright. I'll stay on the Rooted OC1 from Muniz temporarily.

That depends if the Verizon Bloat is still there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hovo:
Hmm.. I've seen that comment chain before from when I searched for a way to uninstall it, but I thought that the zip file stang posted was for reinstalling the modded youtube again. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding anything, this has got me really confused :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Stang can correct me if I'm wrong but that should be the non-modded YouTube zip so you can be back to the norm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
[MENTION=5574802]Neffy27[/MENTION] is correct stock youtube zip. 2nd edition doesn't have youtube you can download yourself and mod'd youtube will. Be a flashable mod. As I use the mod version. Xposed can't do that(play while screen is off) can only play in backround and get rid of adds. But you have to check it in settings in youtube.

Does Any Body have a safe to remove list I'm wanting to remove even more samsung crap from my phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
There is a huge post about what you can remove let me find the thread or you can Google safe bloat ware for S4 lollipop that can be removed. But beware. Removing things will result in your phone not having all functions. Like all share is a safe app that is called bloat ware but if you take them out you won't have wifi direct and so on. Just research really good before removing anything. Not saying you can't remove more. Just simply saying be careful ?

Ya i know which ones are Sammy's :) Thanks though. I don't use es file exp. I use Rom Toolbox Pro works excellent. This could deff help others that want to bare bone there phone like the url i provided but when you do these things please try and only report problems that you haven't taken out on the thread(Keep confusion down..which i am sure you know). As you have altered the Rom. Like taking beam out. You can no longer beam to another Samsung device. I try to keep all functions working. But everyone likes and has their own needs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bren123:
I love watch manager to but it's very annoying it asks me to connect to the Internet if I don't have a connection, you can get rid of the remote on notification bar after enabling it without going to settings it's also a memory hogger while running. other than those I like it but I use smart ir anymote premium from the play store it can control my Xbox (I was just Testing something really pointless to do)I like how I can control my window ac without getting up (I'm lazy) It even works with an old I mean old samsung vcr (just vcr nothing else you know the ones with the hole on top to put an antenna) But I think my app has more feature than watch manager except for the use full guide

I thought it was the combination of deodex + xposed on Sammy since their art implementation is far from stock Android.

Definitely something to look into. :thumbup:

Yes this has definitely been taken care of. Please let me know if you got it fixed. Search thread. The thread will tell you a lot. I know people don't like to read. Not saying you. But when you do most of the time you are rewarded with no issues.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mhaas75:
Thanks for the reply! I am definitely a reader and have actually been reading and searching before I even posted.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the only thing that I am seeing on how to correct this is to reinstall rom over itself again? When I read this, it was from a poster who was using Safestrap. I will be using Flash Fire as my phone had taken the Lollipop OTA update.

Maybe I am still missing something in my searching and reading as I am still unable to send exchange email, even with 3rd party apps. This is about my second day or so of running your rom and if from what I have read to reinstall rom over itself, thats what I will do!

I do appreciate what you do as a Dev/Rom Creator! I obviously can't do this with my lack of knowledge in Rom development. Thank you for your hard work and efforts on top of you busy family life!

Until v2 gets released I've been using MailWise https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syntomo.email

I also had issues with the stock exchange email for work. I downloaded "Maildroid" and it works perfect. Was able to auto discover the server very first time. Hope this helps someone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Wait a second. ... [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] yours doesn't work either? This was fixed a long time ago. Had to switch out the deodex apk and put in the odex one. This was done and re uploaded. So there should be no issue. Did you happen to restore apps? Curious as mine works along with a bunch of others. [MENTION=1979471]mhaas75[/MENTION] Thanks I appreciate it I am still learning as well. It's fun to me and aggravating but more fun. That comment wasn't meant directly at you ? but glad you at least tried as most people don't they just post. That's why I put that thread in. We can get your exchange fixed. If necessary I can make a zip you can flash. But just a FYI ss and ff use same Rom. Under security settings check unknown for 3rd party apps as this might be blocking some things. Probably not but just in case. Let me know glad to help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Yeah I know.

It worked for a week or so then went right back to fc.

I knew you were busy with other issues at the time plus I prefer to look for a third party app so that I don't have to depend on stock.

I will look at mine again just in case but I'm thinking last time I flashed it only worked for about a week
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mhaas75:
That is how mine acted too, but in a much shorter time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
I don't think it's the email apk I think the problem lies with exchange.apk.

Do you use exchange?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mhaas75:
A zip wont be necessary at this moment! Thanks! I am able to get through every now and then with Mailwise. If I really need to, I can gow to our OWA site.

Plus it gives me a reason not to respond to emails! [emoji106]

Hey stang can you in the 2nd edition allow the bootanimation.zip file for bootanimations so that they can be easily changed?

No my wife does for Aflac and it works perfectly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
OK I can update the OP in the middle of cutting the grass after that I'll update OP. It's the same mod'd youtube that Sbreen94 uses in Hyperdrive.

So not sure why updating it would cause issues (even though you don't update mod'd apps) but still shouldn't cause a problem.

This happened to you as well Redflea?

Updated OP to don't update youtube. And I will be looking into this issue as well. If it keeps causing problems I'll just replace with reg youtube baked in and re upload Rom.

Gonna try to fix1st.

OK let me look into that I can replace the mod version with reg youtube and upload that version. Also working on a GE edition as well to help out a friend who tested for me (Redflea ?) . Are you on wifi? Good connection and so forth? I actually just updated my youtube just to see if I could get that error message as well and mine is playing.

Please do a clean install and don't restore YouTube when it asks which apps you want put back on your phone. You should have no issues. Please try this and let me know. Every 5 seconds sounds like rendering / buffering which would be connection related.

Thanks

After the party someone commented that I was not a good judge of up/down much less north/south. Now that I'm on more solid ground it does appear the compass is 180 degrees off. I will report if I find a solution.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Otakulad:
Thanks. I'll try a clean install and let you know. I had no problem using YouTube before installing the ROM (on Hyperdrive) out using the one that came with it so I don't think it is a buffering issue. I'm also using Wi-Fi. I'll do a clean install later tonight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
What compass are you using?? I just did a test on this yesterday and works perfect you have to calibrate correctly. And phone has to be pointed in correct position as well. I want to try the app your using please. And as stated before that would mean Navi would be broken which in works just as my wife's stock S4. Is your Navi working correctly? I typed in compass and installed the 1st compass app Calibrated and shows correct. Just need more details so I can see if this is a Rom problem or what.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
I think I'm starting to understand a little more. If I point my phone in roughly north/south direction it seems fine. If I point it in roughly east/west direction it's off by 180 degrees. Very strange.

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

Try GPS Status. I think I may have seen this earlier on KK as well. Oddly, navigation seems fine and I rarely check the compass. It may be something odd on specific phones.

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

The more I look at this the more I'm inclined to think some of us (me?) have phones with sensor issues. Everything I've tried reports the same results which are odd results, at least to me. I can even see the compass rotate as I rotate the phone. It would seem the compass headings should stay the same ( after all, north is north not matter which way I point the phone).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Exactly. That's why I wanted to try your compass app. I used the 1st compass app in the play store to test it. If you want to try that one. Maybe give you different results? Not sure. But no matter where you are in the world north is always north and so on(just like you said). Kernel has nothing to do with this.

Let me know this is strange as you said. Very

Thanks for your feedback as well. Glad you like it. Or I hopeyou do. Please put any features you want in future builds in the tab up top

?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
I just tried GPS Essentials and the calibration method (basically slow rotation) and it's all still the same. I honestly don't think you should worry about it. I think I (& others) may just have wonky hardware. It is a very strange problem though and if I find anything I'll report back.

Installed on Friday and has been running great. I haven't tried YouTube yet. This morning I woke up to a frozen phone with the red charging light glowing.. Had to do a battery pull. Thoughts? I did clean install Play store did not auto restore apps (should it?) So I ended up using tb restore.

Thanks for giving me something new to play with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Haven't had any freeze ups let me know if it happens again. You can do a restore on apps. But not sure if TiBu will effect anything. Like don't update youtube. Some are having issues if you update.
