Wow I do like Safestrap's potential! Though I keep booting into a black screen..

*Basically: Odined NC5 Full Wipe, Rooted, SuperSU, Busybox, installed Safestrap, booted in and out of recovery a few times to get used to it, then created slot 1, then flashed everything in the order given in the opening post (kernel last).

*Then: Samsung boot screen, Safestrap boot screen (it says disabled, that doesn't seem right), Safestrap boot screen flashes 3 or so times which I read is a bug in lollipop, then screen goes black and I hear the samsung boot sound. Screen stays black and unresponsive (no lights, sounds, vibrations with any button presses) unless a battery pull is done, at which point it bootloops into stock recovery.

I'm on the second round of this and not really sure what to do or what I'm doing wrong. Saw in this thread that people got black screens but that was after flashing an improper kernel (locked bl) and using FlashFire.

Can somebody glean some insight here for me? It would be much appreciated :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
You have to flash it in the main slot. Otherwise you get what you are having
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Exactly.

Slots can't be used for lollipop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkkzak:
And no problem man, I read here something was going on but you know it's family first. I appreciate you popping in, I'm more excited to get Safestrap working than I was FlashFire; but mostly I'm excited to test out your highly touted rom (I see again and again that it's the best SG4 rom for lollipop

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

Oh I see. I noticed that the stock slot was Red and I took that to mean no modifying. So to clarify I do the exact same thing I've been doing, but into the stock slot? Like there aren't any tricks to get it in the stock slot?

Sorry, I feel like I've only got one more try left in me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I'll let you decide after you get on it. [emoji6]

Thanks for the compliments. I try and help anyone I can when I can.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
No should just be able to put in stock slot. Then flash in the order you have but of course wipe first. Rom,update zip,kernel,SuperSU and enjoy [emoji48]

2nd stang boot animation by [MENTION=2026779](gadget!)[/MENTION] On the OP is really awesome. [MENTION=6953284](bkkzak)[/MENTION]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkkzak:
Alright! Rom is up and running!

I will post more once I get everything set up, but basically I tried everything I could think of for FlashFire and couldn't get it to work (tried versions .19 - .24), but maybe it is optimized for higher builds than I was on.

Once I understood how Safestrap works, it worked like a charm! And [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] 's NC5 Flasher mod is essential to a more fluid operation (until Safestrap gets kinks worked out of it??).

Will post more as I find it.
[MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] that boot animation is dope!

Thanks for the support guys, will be in touch
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Glad to hear you got on!!! [MENTION=2026779]gadget![/MENTION] Put his skills on the boot animation. FF is really unstable. But you were on the versions that we use and have been tested, but as its beta results are always different.

Hope you like the Rom !

Have we been able to find a fix for this Pin Issue?

I can't get it to work by backing in and out etc. Every time I reboot it is off, but every time I hot reboot it is on. Pattern does work but having PIN code lock is a pretty big thing for me. Glad v3 is in the works!

I don't know how to fix the permissions but was [MENTION=5941898]Bren123[/MENTION] able to get PIN working with that method? Thanks guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Yes he had to do it twice but it worked. You need to select all apps and fix permissions. After you select them all there should be options for you to pick

Pin lock works just a small # it doesn't .

So nothing for me to fix
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:

Couple questions about this ROM. Does it enable ALL the pull down toggles (IE flashlight), what is the launcher grid (4x4/4x5), can you change the grid and is hot spot enabled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Yes and there is no flashlight toggle in this ROM

Stock TW, you can install a 3rd party launcher

yes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Read the OP everything is listed.. There is a mod to make it 5x5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tangoboyz:
Yea sorry, I didn't see anything about the toggles. Thats really what I look for, flashlight toggle, 4x5 grid and Hotspot....

I had a GS5 and had to go back to my GS4. Just trying to find a similar experience. I'll look around for those mods, just wanted to see what would work with this ROM or what others have used.

THanks for the feed back!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
There already in my Rom. The only one you would need to flash is the 5x5

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tangoboyz:
Great. SO last question. I'm currently on NC5 4.4.2. Once I flash per instructions with SS do I need to flash any modems afterward? I see in the notes it states the rom does not update modem.

Thanks for the responses and sorry for the NOOB questions. Forced to go back to my S4 as my S5 broke....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Flashing modems is optional and completely up to you. I recommend reading through the modem thread (link in my sig).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tangoboyz:
Perfect thanks I'll read through.

SO here's my progress, I flashed the factory NC5 tar with oden. Rooted, installed SS and rebooted to recovery. I followed the steps to the T (flash ROM, flash OC1 firmware, Flash Supersu Beta and finally OC1 Kernal. I do a reboot from SS the phone goes through the boot and after the SS screen it goes black and reloads into Android system Recovery.

Any ideas what I did wrong?? What would be the next best steps for me? Reflash Oden, and upgrade to NK1 first? Then follow those steps? Whats the easiest way.

Thanks for all the help thus far!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Sounds like you didn't flash in primary slot

I didn't update my modem and works perfect. So not anything to worry about
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tangoboyz:
ROM Slot is Stock.

Since it still gives me the option to boot to SS I tryed the steps one more time and still got the same result.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Sounds like something is not either being erased all the way. But whenever we had black screen results it was due to being flashed in a different slot

Also what version of SS? Needs to be the one in [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] Sig.

[MENTION=5574802]Neffy27[/MENTION] PM me if you want to try something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tangoboyz:
I'm on SS 3.75. Before I install the ROM, what wipe's do you do? I usually do Dalvik, Cache, data, system. Should I do formatt instead of Advanced Wipe maybe? Should I flash OC1 and start there? If I flash OC1 can I downgrade back to NC5?

I'm lost.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Hold your horses. You should only be wiping cache,data,Dalvik, and system. So that's correct. Since you are getting black screen and can still get into SS means your still not on OC1 kernel. For the order you should have wipe of course , Rom,updater zip, superSU,then the OC1 kernel posted. Is this how you flashed??

Don't flash OC1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tangoboyz:
;) horses held!! Yes that is the order I'm doing them. Maybe my files are corrupt or I have the wrong ones. Here is exactly what I have, in order of flash:

stang5litre+5.0+Edition+v2NON-MDK

I545_OC1_firmware

BETA-SuperSU-v2.49

I545_OC1_Stock_KERNEL_SafeStrap-Flashable

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Check the md5 of all your zips. Mostly the kernel. For some reason it seems like it's not flashing for you.

Sent from my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ya that's the correct order. Like [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] said check the md5s just in case
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tangoboyz:
Kinda out of my space. How does one go about check md5's? I'm redownloading the Kernel and firmware. Going to try that.

ONE thing I noticed poking around in SS, under mount "System" isn't checked. When I check it and return back to the mount settings its back unchecked. Would that have anything to do with my issues??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
The default setting is fine.

You can get an md5 checker app from the play store.

Sent from my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Just check them against my afh after you get the app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tangoboyz:
So i'm unfamiliar with this app. Looks like I have to select 2 different files and compare? Which files am I selecting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
No, just run the checker on 1 file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tangoboyz:
OK!!! Success!! I redownload SS, the firmware and kernel. Followed all the steps and its up and running! Thank you guys for sticking with me!!:good:

Only think I'm missing is what are you guys doing for voicemail? I don't have visual vm and I don't see the app loaded. I assume it was removed from the ROM. Thoughts??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I can get the apk here in a few and give it to you. Glad you got on!!! [emoji106] and no problem.

Or use youmail
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tangoboyz:
That would be awesome if I could get native VM back. I tired youmail and google voice but didn't like the experience. I'm playing with SQLite to get the flashlight toggle on.

SO FAR SO GOOD.. Running smooth, already got the NK2 flasher going and flashed some of the mods you pointed out.

Again, THANKS!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
No problem give me a few. [emoji48] All the mods are in but that 5x5 launcher you wanted. But glad you got what you needed. [emoji106]

Just download voicemail from play store lol. Forgot I don't need to get it for you just download it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tangoboyz:
I've done this in SQLite before but can't remember what name to add to the "notification_panel_active_app_list" entry. Is it Flashlight or Torch or Torchlight..... somthing like that right? I know its case sensitive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:

I knew something wasn't right.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tangoboyz:
Thanks!! Yeah it must have been a corrupt file. After redownloading the kernel and firmware it all worked. So I did some searching and found a couple voicemail APK's. I could only get 1 to kinda work so far. The app does force close when I open it but if I get a vmail it at least does alert me so I can check. I think the version I have is not right....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkkzak:
Hey sorry I'm just getting back at you, classes have been kicking my butt!

So I couldn't select more than one app at once with Root Browser nor ROM Toolbox (they were individually in folders) so I used 3C Toolbox to fix permissions.

I fixed permissions, reset the Lock Screen to Pin Code, backed out, reset the Lock Screen to Pin Code again, then rebooted.

It didn't stick so I did it two more times. Still not sticking, anybody have suggestions? Thanks, really appreciate it

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
We're coming close to be able to upgrade, and the only phone that has any appeal to me would be the LG G4. Mainly for the removable battery and are able to put in a micro-SD card in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Is it root able is the question? But I am gonna hold off. Went to Verizon played with all the phones. Just not enough change or anything appealing. Looks just like what we are running now.... I'll stick with the s4. Hopefully the s7 will bring something. If Samsung starts making them in rootable won't ever buy their product. I have a feeling it will be another year before I personally get a phone. I like big jumps in technology. Heart beat sensor...no use for me ,finger print scanner needs to be perfected still. Plus not a feature that awes me. And let's see everything else is pretty much the same.... Only thing I want is the theme store and I am gonna try and bring it in on v3 if all possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
Not sure on root status, but like you, whatever I do get would need to rootable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Nexus 6, 5X, or 6P isn't appealing under Project Fi to you guys? 6P will be my next phone and carrier when i return off my deployment. It's rootable, unlocked bootloader, & bloat free out the box.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tshelby73:
Project fi not very cost affective right now especially if you have multiple phone lines.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
This seems a bit of a tangent for the thread, but....Much the same here. I'm tempted to support Motorola's effort with the Pure but having a hard time justifying it. Maybe something else will come along. In the meantime you have made the S4 a very nice alternative for holding on to. Now, I'm sure to drop it or do something to force the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Nope the nexus is bare!!! No IR blaster must for me, and is way to plane for my liking. If your into asop its OK(I'm not a asop fan). But another issue for me is camera quality. Watch the reviews on it. Turned me right away. Plus there is nothing premium about the 6p. Better to go with the 6. But everyone is different. And you still have to unlock it when you get it.

Ya a little off topic but as its my thread ...wasn't worried about it. Plus it was just a question and a response.

But I won't be getting nothing yet. If my s4 can do more then the new phone why would I get it???

Anyways back to normal thread talk

I have since moved on to a LG G3 when my S4 screen died from a drop at work. Can't say I miss my S4. Battery life on LG stock 5.1.1 is 60 percent better than Samsungs S4 running stock 5.0 and should have stock custom 6.0 marshmellow roms by the end of the year......

Has anyone had problems getting the Pandora app to work?

I can only get it to work via wifi, but not cell data. It looks like it is streaming, but no audio comes out of speaker, or headphones.

I tried with multiple versions 5.4, 6.0, 6.5, uninstalled, wiped cache, rebooted, nothing fixed it.

I had xprivacy installed, but let all the permissions through, which didn't fix it. Then I removed xprivacy all together, which still didn't fix it.

Anyone without xposed installed get different results?

I have Pandora working fine on the Albe95 S6 FULL PORT 4.6 ROM, and it worked fine with xposed on CM 12.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] maddog00:
Do you mind me asking what you have planned for v3? Just curious.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I use Pandora everyday with no issue. Also Spotify, along with probably 90% on my Rom . Works fine sounds like you have something another program blocking it or doesn't mesh well with it. I am on xposed as well and works fine. Unlimited skips all that. Wife also users hers everyday. Maybe something got left behind when you were flashing from ables to my Rom. Look at the logs and see what it is telling you. Bet its a app or something you have blocking it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:

Can anybody give me some advice on how get get a 5x5 or 5x6 home screen? I don't need everything that comes with loading Nova Launcher or another full launcher. I've used ROMs before where there where ports from the Note or S6 and I've seen the flashable zips, but none of them have said they were compatible with Lollipop. So I've been reluctant to flash them. Worst case is I do a full back up and give one a try, but I'd rather see if anyone has a good suggestion first. I do have Xposed installed and working.
