Non-MDK

Hello, new member here so forgive me if info is inadequate.

I flashed your rom non-MDK using Flashfire coming from

muniz_ri odexed OC1 with root. The process I went with in

flashfire was wipe/rom/wifi-fix/supersu/reboot all in one go.

Yes, I read the instructions but since this is not my dd and has

no cell service I said wth? I'm skipping a few steps, jejeje. So

far so good, everything seems to be working fine. No wifi issues

on first boot or random reboots. Once in a while I get one bootloop

after applying some xposed modules but it boots the second

time fine. Supersu only working with enable on boot, mp3s and oggs play

fine in stock player and es file Explorer media player. The only issue

I'm experiencing is hangouts crashes instantly when making a call

or receiving one but is fine sending and receiving sms. Tried

changing dpi and res. with app settings but still crashes. Would appreciate

any suggestions, tried installing older versions as well. Right now I will be trying to remove

included YouTube and change to a newer one. Hope this info is a little helpful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
The ROM isn't working for ss, but you used FF and the OC1 deodex, so count yourself lucky/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Oh my! I may be getting the vapors! (that can't come across right in print or if you aren't from the south)

I encourage everyone who is benefiting from his hard work to give [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] a little love. He has given my old phone new life. I suspect I am not alone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
OK so let me get this straight the Kernel was not changed?? I didn't do the convert so I am not sure why it was not changed. I was under the assumption skepticmisfit changed it to muniz_ri locked boatloader kernel....... if this is not been done this would be obviously a huge problem. I can find that kernel and bake it in that rom if you like? MDK guy sorry. I wasn't sure what he did to get it working/not working. In the 1st few threads says he replaced the Kernel and moved some files. The kernel might be sufficient since your saying it's the same as the mdk version

:( can you get to restore or download mode?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] silverflame112:
Xposed works. It must've been a bad download the first time I installed and flashed. Thanks all for the confirmations!

Any tips on the following tweaks:

1. getting 5x5 homescreens

2. call recorder

3. removing notification icons (bluetooth, alarm icon, etc.)

4. adding date in the notification bar (next to the time) or any other notification bar tweaks

I know I've been spoiled using KK ROMs before this so I'm not expecting much if this isn't available for LP yet/at all. Thanks for all the help and for the great ROM! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Glad to hear it. Get wanam the version for LP. That can do almost everything on your list but the 5x5 launcher. That would have to be changed in the Rom. Let me look at a few things and I will see if I can do anything on the launcher. Only thing I can really think of atm would be to ask sbreen94 if it was OK to use a part of his Rom 5x5 launcher or I can probably find it on Google and bake it in the rom. Not sure if that is something you could just do a flashable zip for. But no promises on this lol. That is just my brain talking. Hits head with shovel

Still trying to put out this SS and FF fire.

I believe call record already works when your in your call if it says add call hit the menu button. Should pull up call record. If not wanam takes care of it.

Here you go ? also tells you everything it can do.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] silverflame112:
Thanks so much [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION]! I'll take a look at wanam. I've never used it (again, I was spoiled :)) but I will learn. Thanks for the link!

No worries on the launcher thing. I can wait. You do what you need to do for the SS/FF folks. That's more important!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Just an FYI - I could not get call record to work - I can see and hit the button when in a call, but nothing happens. This is with Wanam LP installed and running. So the button is there, but doesn't do anything as far as I can tell.

Just for kicks used Wanam LP setting to move call recording option to the menu in the phone, and that didn't work either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Nah, I somehow managed to have safe strap still work. It wouldn't finish flashing after it said auto loki.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
You got lucky man lol

It was trying to loki the NC5 kernel bc the OC1 kernel never flashed.

A very close call to knox 0x1

But at least everything is good and working for ya.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
I got hella lucky. This has happened three times. xD Plus I'm looong out of warranty. Oh yeah, all my data was still there and no instability.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Joe_6pak:
I decided to try this one out because a) I want my Lollipop, and b) I'm too cheap to buy a new device and probably won't since I'm MDK. Great so far - fantastic work! One little thing, though: Is anyone experiencing any problems when you use the "Close All" button to stop running programs? Mine freezes for what seems to be an eternity until it finally finishes up (the screen even goes blank). Is it because I'm using Nova?

Also, is there any way of telling what bootloader version I got? Even though I know it's MDK because I got root and a custom recovery, I still like to see it, and Samsung Phone Info won't work with this ROM (Keeps returning some sort of java error). As usual, all thoughts appreciated mucho.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oraixearl:
My close all does that too, but only on nova. Touchwiz launcher it's good. I didn't realize until now because I never use it. Better to leave them open.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NapalmDawn:
Awesome battery status indicator.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
Does anyone have any insight on this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] miltblue:
Yeah my phone does the same thing If I close all using Nova. And If you mean About Phone it works on my phone perfectly. Every thing I've tried so far works great with this rom including installing and using Xposed and modules. Still testing them. Only problem is I'm one of those who pin lock doesn't work for. But great as the rom is I can live with that. Great battery life!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
I get the same popup but you can still swipe to the right for the menus and get what you seek so the app itself still works. There are also many other info phone apps in the store.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
As [MENTION=5574802]Neffy27[/MENTION] advised it's their app not the rom. But just his yes and still works fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NapalmDawn:
Definitely still at the lock screen some 6 hours after I last booted it. It's definitely not booting to the OS. I can say that fastboot and recovery still work. Wipe data/cache from recovery has not fixed it. I guess I'm going to have to odin back to oc1 and try this all over again?

I wish I could make a back up prior to using flashfire so I can at least, via an easy route, go back to the backup when things fail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Let me see something. Gonna talk to a buddy that had to odin before and has flash fire down pat. Uno MO mento sir
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] phil0sophic:
closing delay

I have the same issue using google launcher, sometimes it hangs until I hit back or home again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
I think it has something to do with Samsung's version of ART, nor the ROM itself.

By any chance, if someone reading this has stock OC1, can they test that? Otherwise possibly one of Stang's mods is causing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ljcorsa:
on v2, getting offered a software update. What needs to be frozen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bones519:
Freeze SDM 1.0.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] phil0sophic:
Any thoughts on getting OF1 baked in? There appears to be a deodexed stock rooted version available for FF http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/how-to-update-to-i545of1-5-0-1-keeproot-t3182544
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
One of my mods causing what?

Just delete sdm in reg apps. Shouldn't take anyway.. with all the knox and so on gone. Also didn't expect a update my fault. Fort the message. I'll get that deleted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] forum7803:
stang i lost my mobile hotspot in v2 NON-MDK

what can i do
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aphlatoon:
That's one bad thing about running custom ROMS, can't apply security patches.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Yeah... Uhhhh I woke up this morning and I have a software update... Wtf...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bones519:
I hope this is not a stupid question, but since I can't get flashfire to restore a backup, could I use the nc5 flash tool and go into safestrap - make a backup with the nc5 kernel and then in the future do the same thing and restore that backup then Flash The OC1 kernel? That was the only method I could use to flash this ROM in the first place. Flashfire works for me to flash mods, etc. But not this ROM or backups.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I missed the stupid SDM app in reg apps. Just delete it. Gonna delete and re upload a Lil later [emoji33]

I'll send you a zip to flash to get it back no problem [emoji48]

Why can't you flash my Rom with FF? Just did it this morning on my mom's phone and she was non rooted OC1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bones519:
I used muniz_ri method to update to oc1 and keep root and flashed his deodexed rom using ff but when I tried several times following the ff instructions in the op to flash this awesome rom I got some symlinks failed error and ended up after reboot with a freshly wiped version of his deodexed oc1 and had to start over. Over and over until I decided to use the nc5 flasher and ss. Never could get a ff backup to restore either, SO many times starting from scratch, hence my question about backing up and restoring with nc5 flasher and ss.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NapalmDawn:
Stang-I wonder if this is what I was getting on mine with FF. I'm not actually watching the FF run as I just put it down and let it go (with the 10 min display time out as recommended). Now bones goes back to his previous rom whereas I come to nothing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jimdandy:
Thank YOU!

What a nice ROM. Wow. Thanks.

I came from Hyperdrive 17.

SS install worked flawlessly.

I would caution whoever installs to be patient and I was getting a little nervous about how long the ROM seemed to be dwelling on the new Samsung logo... but, eventually, it progressed to updating applications.

Awesome job! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SO_dank:
Hey just wanted to check... should I change the lines to stop the Ota firmware push?? Reading some posts and sounds like people upgraded the ota accidentally... no biggie just want to know if it's is blocked...mdk. thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] miltblue:
Lock screen pinlock

Don't know if anyone is still trying to use the lock screen pin lock and it resets to swipe or none after a reboot or shutdown.. If there is or any one else has this problem try clearing all system app caches. I got it to work for me my doing this. I also fixed all system app permissions. I used 3c Toolbox Pro's app manger's one click feature and did both at once. But I'm pretty sure you only need to clear system app caches to get it to work. If that doesn't work then try fixing the permissions. There are lots of ways to do it. Use whatever you'd like . it worked for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
No don't take it delete the sdm app in reg apps and it will be gone. Gonna take down the servers again soon and fix that and re upload . Sorry about that. Doing house work all week so will be away but will still check back

Awesome find!!! Thanks for sharing with everyone. Hope that works 4 them.?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ya I understood the question when you first asked but I am Not positive on this so I would wait for a SS/FF pro like [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] I'm sure could give you a better answer. Sorry I am MDK leaning all the ways of SS/FF. But I would say yes you should make a backup. Makes sense to me but to be sure let's wait and see what he says.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Might go ahead and take the links down and re upload. So gonna be a 2 hour turn around but SDM will be gone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Don't want someone to take a update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SO_dank:
Couldn't we just freeze it with tibu... or could we force remove with recovery exploit in tibu??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Yes you can freeze it or delete it[emoji106] . I deleted mine. But there is always someone that will hit the button.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SO_dank:
Correct
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bones519:
Sounds good! Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
There is a way and is tedious but can be done. I will pm [MENTION=4843156]Bones519[/MENTION] later tonight when I get home.

If he wishes to look into it beforehand he can read the last few pages of my ss without Odin thread which should give some insight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spookymyo:
What do you mean you can't go up in modems? Are you talking that if you're on a MDF bootloader you can't go up to an oc1 modem? If that's what you're saying that's incorrect. If not then I apologize for misunderstanding.

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

Already tried that. Doesn't work.

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

You can check your bootloader version in a terminal emulator.

Type in:

su (enter), grants permissions

getprop ro.bootloader (with the space and press enter)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] miltblue:
I know I'm old and maybe a little demented, but i can't figure out how anyone would go though the trouble of installing a custom rom, get it running and setup and then take a stock upgrade. Seems to me, as my Daddy use to say, "them people ain't got no realize". Only a good guy would worry about them. That say a lot about who you are #stang5litre.

Only way I could see it is if Verizon announced they where unlocking the bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bones519:
Wouldn't that be wonderful!?! :rolleyes: So that will never happen!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] phil0sophic:
Well.... Perhaps yer not old or demented enuf, it ain't brain surgery, just human nature to operate the finger (or other parts) before engaging the brain etc. We all live in a glass house of sorts so no throwing stones....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
I think even if someone actually tried to take an update from Verizon it would go through, due to the presence of root and removed apps and stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sinner822:
Question is. Do any of these people have the package? Even though it won't update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
My thought process was the same skepticism. No way it would go through but with my luck you never know. I didn't get any notifications.

I will be looking at OF1 tonight. [MENTION=5941898]Bren123[/MENTION] captured it and sent it to me.

Says some UI improvements but I think it's just for security to be honest. But I will see tonight when I take a look.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
yes I have my package lol. I Keep it with me. Have a good laugh.lol??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] phil0sophic:
Careful... If you update your package you run the risk of getting on the cover of VanityFair :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
some dude caught it, and muniz made a keeproot ROM already
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Is it debloated? Or did he just add to his existing rom? I can search this don't worry about it lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
I had the update.zip and deleted it. It downloaded overnight and my phone didn't feel like charging
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bren123:
Hey sorry I'm not understanding what you mean could please explain more?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bones519:
That would be awesome! I've been at work and haven't had a chance to do any reading. Thank you!:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SO_dank:
Nope not confused.. my bad I was always informed running modems past firmware/bootloader was not advised... I've done it in the past with no issue but always tried not to because I was told it's not good practice.... If I'm wrong I opologize.... when I moved to the mountains I changed modems weekly on my charge trying to get signal that was the only time I flashed updated modems past bootloader....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] miltblue:
There are apps like Rom Toolbox and System Tuner that have tools that allow you to easily manage all the installed apps whether system or user apps. Two off the options the tools give are to clear an apps data and cache or fix its permissions regardless to whether system or user. The app I used is called 3C Toolbox Pro. It is the top the System Tuner developers line in these type of tools. With some of these tools you can only manage one app at a time. Others like 3c Toolbox have options that allow you apply the changes it makes to all the user or system apps at one time or all apps at one time. Since I have been interested in Android and what makes it tick I have used a few of these tools after rooting. There are several in the Play Store. If this is not a good enough explanation just let me know and I will try to do better. Also I've been reading the module descriptions for Xposed mods and I think I remember seeing some of those that allow it as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Clarke33:
Dang! What went wrong? Non mdk oc1. Flashed with FF but samsung screen never appeared at boot up. Staying on a black screen and every now and then I see time, battery icon and 4g but then it fades back to black. I will get a pop-up saying process system isn't responding do you have want to close or wait. Neither option works and it will eventually go black again. I checked md5's before flashing and all were OK. I made sure the flash order was correct also. What's going on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ok I need a serious count on anyone who has flashed my Rom successfully in OC1 in FF.

Gonna take link down until I get a good count.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kauaigs:
I flashed successfully with FF on OC1...once I manually adjusted the flash order in FF. It moved the order around the first time I used it and gave me blackscreen. 2nd time around it worked flawlessly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Clarke33:
Any ideas as to what I need to do at this point? I really need my phone for work.

I see the Galaxy s4 screen then hear the music but then it goes black

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

I did the same thing. When I was ready to flash the wipe was on the bottom even though I added it first. I then moved wipe to the top.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
So the root of the issue seems to be FF changing order right before flash then correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Clarke33:
It did in my case. The zips were in the correct order but the wipe was moved to the bottom. I had to physically scroll it back to the top
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Odin back to 0C1 with the stock image, then flash again. Make sure that order is the same as in OP. I switched Two things and it bricked... and I'm on nc5
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ok so we know why you're where your at. Should be able to be back to stock

So it's FF changing order right before flash after the user has already out in order and not the rom correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Clarke33:
Any way possible to retrieve my backup that I stored on my sd and flash that in odin?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tommykmusic:
Not that I know of but you can Odin to OC1 root with kingroot desktop use supersu me and then Flash Fire to flash the rom just make sure your order in Flash Fire is correct manually move the order to the correct position.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AwkwardRaven:
First of all, thank you for putting together this rom. I really enjoy this wrong but I'm having trouble getting viper4android to work correctly. I've tried following almost every single guide on how to get it working in lollipop but it's still won't work correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm running stang5litre Edition 5.0 v2. I flashed the rom exactly how the first post described the process. I'm using non-MKD safestrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bren123:
It's very sad you guys are are really saying his ROM has problems and there's issues in the updater script when im 13 and running the version 2 he upload to afh and it works fine accept for the pin and password lock I got to fix that but other than that's its fine thanks stang for all your hard work take a break!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mhaas75:
I flashed successfully.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Clarke33:
Everything you did I did. Don't know what went wrong. If I odin stock, re-root then add FlashFire, will my backup still be on my sd card and could I flash it then?

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------

That was meant for tommykmusic
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] phil0sophic:
I've been flashing for years and read uncounted posts, found that if I had an odd ball unknown issue it was always me, I'd totally rewipe everything (except extsd) and not restore all with TiBU thenVoila! All good. But as in the case of my wife's GS4 phone, it won't root with any method (glad it's hers). I'm now running this rom with no issues installed today, so aside from idiosyncratic issues with a goofy phone or two this is a keeper.

Thanks Stang5litre for the hours you invest in this for dummies like me.

Per your request for info: I've also flashed v2 with ff with no issues, but like everyone else had to manually change the wipe option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oraixearl:
Me. Nothing wrong with your rom. It seems only a couple people are having issues but the majority are good. Guessing it has to be user end. Don't know, but I flashed v1 & v2 with ff on oc1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reliant_turbo:
i had no issues flashing V2.

its most likely the default order in which FF wipes the phone that is the problem

Stopping Ads

Hi all. Since installing this ROM yesterday(very nice, btw), I've noticed that some of the apps that I use now have a prolific amount of Ads.

I came from another ROM (Hyperdrive) and didn't have Ads before switching. And, I haven't removed/modified any software and settings.

Is there anything that I can do on my end to stop the pervasive Ads?
