Selling my mint white MDK phone if anyone is interested. Gonna put it on ebay. Able to use custom kernels , twrp recovery , use aosp roms , cm , sammy .

No scratches on the phone at all. Brand new tempered glass screen protector as well. Original box with everything. As I said I will continue to develop for the s4 as long as interest is being shown which I can see by downloads and so on and of course donations. But I plan on doing a lot will see.

I have read and searched through this thread and I am still having issues getting V4A to work, so I'm hoping someone can help me out. These are the things I have done: I have followed both of these guides, and it still isn't working:

http://androiding.how/how-to-fix-viper4android-selinux-policy-issues-on-lollipop/

http://www.gizdev.com/guide-install-viper4android-on-any-lollipop-devices-android-5-05-1/

First, I was having issues getting the V4A driver installed, as it was saying my busybox wasn't working properly, but I changed a SuperSU setting and that let me get the driver installed. So now the driver is installed, but the driver status is saying it's not Enabled and not Processing. Is there anything else I can try? Really would like to get this working... Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Have you tried the updated version. Of V4A? I think I remember someone saying that worked for them . Be glad to help out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kevinp13:
Yeah - I am on version 2.4.0.1, which is the newest as far as I can tell. Ended up uninstalling the version that is included in your rom as a system app and installing it as a user app, not sure if that affects anything

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kevinp13:
Thanks for the reply - I tried that before from searching the thread. I just tried it again to double check and unfortunately it still isn't working.

I am still getting Enabled: No; Status: Abnormal; Processing: No, etc.

I am not sure where else to turn or if I should just give up, but V4A sounds like it would be awesome if I could get it running!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tech 4 9:
All I wanted was a 10 band eq instead of 5. Got tired of all the mystical voodoo required for v4A only to open it and wonder "wth is all this for?..i just wanted a damn eq" and found and have been happy with jet audio plus.

Someone plz explain to me why it's worth all this voodoo nonsense to get this infamous v4A working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
nice! what color did you get? I've had mine a week and loving it so far. Looking forward to hear your experience wth it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Silver of course lol. You go with black? Gold is not a good color for a phone. Mine ships out on the 31st. How us battery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
yup, went with black, but was a tough choice between it and silver. no complaints at all with battery. full charge when I left for work at 7, been listeining to music and podcasts all day, and it is at 82%. when I play games or go online, it'll usually be at 35-40% at end of the day, and it recharges super fast.

put a white/black speck case on it, but need to get a screen protector on it. Waiting for a good glass one to come out.

update from samsung already available, which i am not taking but I cant disable it, so have an annoying icon at the top.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Got a case for mine as well and a glass screen protector.[emoji12] . Tempered glass
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
what case/screen protector did you get?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Case Art tech 21(silver rim with clear back). Protector not sure haven't got it yet wife ordered as a surprise. Let you know on the protector . Case is rated to be one of the best. Is yours duel layer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I love viper as it boosts the sound very good. Bass ,treble etc . Plus has options for Bluetooth, phone, headset etc. Just really good at what it does . I can try the app you got and tell you if it compares. But I also have faux sound mod built into my kernel. So I have faux app I can use to boost even higher.

Dam they are fast on updates. Does it tell you a version or any ref so we can look the update up? Let s take this to PM sorry everyone. Either hangouts or telegram [emoji106] [emoji3] then I can actually see yours and droll while I wait on mine lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wallyb132:
The questions i have may already be answered, but there are far too many posts in thread for me to read them all, so...

I use T-Mobile, will a T-Mobile sim work with this rom?

Will I be able to get the LTE bands? ever since i soft bricked my phone and had to use the verizon software repair utility, it upgraded me to OF1 and now i cant get the LTE bands, i try to switch the preferred network mode, but LTE/GSM/WCDMA isnt an option so im stuck with 3g

If this will allow me to get back to LTE, can i send SMS over LTE using a T-Mobile sim card, trying to fix the no SMS issue is how i bricked the phone the first time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Congrats on the phone dude!! I still have 3 months to decide on what to get... lol S7 better get root, gawd speed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
Sorry, I didn't notice you had also tried the selinux policy fix /flash.

---------- Post added at 07:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 AM ----------

In fact, although that's always worked for me, I now get this error (I just recently Flashed back to v3 from UltraNote) :busy box not installed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kevinp13:
Your image isn't loading correctly for me, but if you got the wrong busybox/phone not completely rooted error when trying to install the driver, what worked for me was going into SuperSu settings and unchecking "mount namespace separation." I was then able to install the V4A driver but again I'm still stuck at Not enabled/processing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
We'll that did the trick, thanks!

If you are having the abnormal status, try what I did. Use Viper to remove the driver. Then uninstall Viper and fully restart the phone. Install Viper, fully reboot, install the driver, fully reboot, and check the driver status. There's probably too many reboots in there but I wanted to be sure. Also I waited a minute after each reboot to make sure everything was up and running.

As long as you have flashed the selinux policy fix it should work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kevinp13:
Glad that helped you out! I just tried your instructions and unfortunately there's no change to the driver status :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
I'm sorry to hear that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Thanks man. I'm sure it will. The day the galaxy series stops getting root is the dam Samsung will loose a ton of money. I don't think they want that lmfao.

The only way is to try and test. This Is a verizon rom for a verizon phone. But you can run the rom if you change your and and 4g libs kernel and so forth. No one can tell you if you will get 4g as you don't even get 4g on your own carrier. Which means you have files missing from other flashes or maybe your card went bad. [emoji615]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
All you have to do is look in system/apps and you can see I have the correct busy box.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
You've got the direct busybox on the ROM for sure. It's v4a not liking namespace separation,although I'm not sure why that other guy can't get it to work yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Has to be doing something in correct. I know it's sometimes a pain for some . So I canceled my order for s7 edge due to being locked down out the box. No chance of root. Exploring other options. Samsung just lost a lot of money
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
Dang that sucks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Yes it does .... was so excited and then it was ripped away. Dumb move by Sammy . Gonna lose a lot of bus that way. Even though tech you don't need root for teather . So I could still use it just couldn't ever change the rom. Which I think I'll wait and see.

So looks like I'll be in the s4 threads lol

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kevinp13:
Good news! I got V4A up and running and it's awesome! It seems something didn't take when I flashed the selinux policy zip. Here's what I did in case this helps anyone else: Uninstalled driver thru V4A, rebooted, uninstalled V4A, rebooted, flashed selinix policy zip (with mount/system read/write option on in FF), rebooted, installed V4A apk, rebooted, installed V4A driver, rebooted, and it's finally working!

Lots of reboots just to be careful like you suggested. Also I admittedly don't understand what the FF mount/system option is for and when I should or shouldn't be using it, so that might have been a key difference in what I had done before.

Thanks to the people in this thread who are patient and helpful to people like me who are new to (and learning) this stuff, it's appreciated.

Curious - Do you guys just play with the settings in V4A to find what you like or is there a guide or something you follow?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] marinegundoctor:
I'm glad you got it! I use the convolver mostly. I'll post back in a bit with more info and a download or link

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

There are a ton of different settings and 3 sets. Change the UI settings to moderate or expert, and then turn on the convolver option underneath the EQ. You will have to select an Impulse response to use But first you have to download some. Just Google search I'll check with v4a thread and you'll find a ton of them. Some don't make any difference depending on the equipment you're listening with. My favorite for headphones and my Bluetooth is BBE generic preset 2. There's a lot of people on the v4a thread that share their settings but everyone's listening taste is different
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tech 4 9:
If the Selinux zip was seen as corrupt by safestrap should I still try it with ff?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
If it's corrupt why would you not just download a new one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tech 4 9:
Second download....second flash attempt...same thing.

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

I played this game yesterday with xposed sdks. I don't believe they ARE corrupt...I think it's how SS sees them...?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Your trying to do this for viper right ? If so try flashing with FF . See if it says the same thing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tech 4 9:
Ff doesn't even recognize file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I'm sure you tried internal storage as well. That's weird your phone keeps saying it's corrupt. Do you have linux? You could use adb and push the file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ganuke2kx:
Hello,

Questions for all the helpful here. I really would like to get Stang5litre Rom on my smartphone ( and then put xposed with some modules on it. )

I have a Samsung Gslaxy S4. Last year I updated it via a combination of using Odin and FlashFire.

So from that point and currently my S4 is :

* Rooted

* Has SuperSu Pro ( ChainFire ) version 2.65 installed and Enabled

* Has FlashFire 0.24 installed

> stated in ' Phone Info ' app <

* Is on Android version 5.01

* Bootloader version id NK4

* CSC, PDA, Baseband versions and Build number are all OC1

< >

I got to the above state on my S4 by following the xda thread " [ How-To ] Update to I545_OC1 - 5.0.1 and KeepRoot.

So the main question is am I all set to beging the process of installing Stang5litre rom..... or is / are there other things I should / need to do first ? ( Such as following a similar thread by muniz_ri to gey my S4 updated to OF1 ? And / or should I update the FlashFire app ? Etc ? ) or am I just good to go as is ?

If nothing more on my S4 needs to be added / changed...... I would then set my S4 screen timeout to 10 minutes, Go to Developer Options and Enable ' usb Debugging ', and in the security section check to Enable installation of apps from unknown sources / 3rd party.

After things are all prepared.... the next question becomes...... do I then follow the instructions from the first post in this thread for " OC1 Installation " using the Stang5litre Edition 5.0 Non MDK v3 ?

Sorry for the long detailed post with such questions ...... I just want to be sure how to best get the Stang5litre Rom on my S4 without complications that might arise.... if I did not ask / post this before starting any flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Just use OC1 since that's what your on . But you have to pay attention with FF and make sure it doesn't move wipe to tje bottom. So start from those instructions but after the root part .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ganuke2kx:
Thanks for the prompt reply Mr. Stang.... and for confirmation that my S4 appears to be fine as in for installing your Rom.

So I will go with the " OC1 instructions " from the first post in this thread...... starting with step 5.

Looking forward to having your Rom breath fresh life into my getting dated S4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kevinp13:
Would you ever consider the LG G5? I like a lot of its features
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I need to know more about it. Not crazy about that battery tray like that. That was a bad idea . Do they even have the specs out yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kevinp13:
Yeah - see full specs here: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g5-7815.php
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ganuke2kx:
Well........ thinking I had this planned out right I decided to go for getting Stang5litre Rom on my S4 this evening......... hoping that by now I would be using it fully.

Unfortunately it appears as though something went rather wrong. For well over an hour now my S4 has been on the " Samsung " screen that has the black background. I am thinking that should not be the case...... that if things went correctly it should have been loaded up to a setup screen by now.

So not really sure what to do. I am hoping it is at worst a soft brick that I can get my S4 back into working order again. I guess I will have to first pull the battery......... then go looking for an OC1 file that I can hopefully flash onto my S4 through Odin.

Bah ! No idea what went wrong or why. I double checked in FlashFire and the ordering of what was to be done was correct...... with the wipe portion at the top ( after I had to move it back there ) before clicking on the lightning bolt to proceed. Then my S4 rebooted and on the screen it appeared as though a list of files were being extracted or loaded...... thenI seen text that stated " wipe " ......... then text about the " Stang5litre " Rom. Then my S4 rebooted once more and that is where it seemingly now is stuck at the black screen with " Samsung " on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ATGkompressor:
Did u double check to make sure the files were in the correct order (not the Wipe, Flash, Reboot sequence)? But the actual files being flashed; ORDERED: ROM then FIRMWARE then KERNEL then SU. If you did have the correct order....I dunno. What version of FF are u using. Might wanna try v.27 or .v.28...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ganuke2kx:
Thanks for the reply ATGkompressor.

I did double check and believe the ordering was correct. I thought from where my S4 was that it was good to go from using the OC1 instructions. I listed what were my S4 specs on the previous page in this thread. Bootloader was Nk4 ...... and all else were OC1 version. Maybe the Bootloader version ( NK4 ) being a different version than the PDA, CSC, and Baseband version ( OC1 ) caused the conflict ?

I got my S4 to that state last year following a post by muniz_ri on how to update to OC1 and keep root ( since at that time no root was available for the OC1 version. )

The process had me going from I believe it was Mk2 version to the NC5...... then using towelroot to get the S4 rooted...... then flashing OC1 with Nk4 bootloader through flashfire. At that time last year it all went smoothly. Since that time last year I had not updated flasfire which was version 2.4 .

It really does baffle me. So my last post was done on my laptop since my S4 was stuck at the black background bootup screen. On the S4 I ended up pulling the battery...... putting it back in...... held volume down, home, and power buttons to get into Odin / download mode. From there I flashed onto my S4 a NC5 tar which I had saved on my laptop. That thankfulky worked to get my S4 running again.

And that is where my S4 is right now as I write this. Am wondering if I should just use towelroot to root my S4 again so I can then use flashfire to flash the OC1 baseband / NK4 bootloader onto my S4 once again...... which would be exactly where I was before trying to get Stang5litre's Rom on my S4 earlier this past evening. ( Which I guess might be the definition of stupid...... trying the exact same thing and expecting different result lol ) But not sure how else to better proceed from where my S4 is right now at having everything on NC5 version. One thing that would now be different is I just downloaded the latest flashfire version from the Google store...... from the older 2.4 version I had on ny S4 with the initial attempt this past evening.

The only other 2 things I can think of...... other than if there is conflict with the NK4 bootloader and all else at OC1...... are that 1 ) I had the files loaded into flashfire from an inserted SD card ( maybe they need to be placed on and loaded from internal storage ? ) and 2 ) the OC1 version on my S4 ( as well as my Now current NC5 version ) are the " regular " type...... as in odex. But Stang5litre Rom is deodexed. Might that have been the conflict ? ( But the first step in flasfire to " wipe " I would think should have made that not an ussue. )

I don't know. Not sure whether to try the exact same steps I described earlier in this post...... or for now jyst sleep on it and see if there are more replies / advice posted here later today.

Thanks again ATGkompressor for your input.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jakehoward80:
Have you tried Safestrap? I'm on NC5 and that is the recovery I use. I just used it to flash this Rom earlier today and everything went well.

---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------

@stang5litre this Rom is awesome. I just flashed it on my old S4 and everything is working flawlessly. Thanks for all the hard work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Thanks for trying to help ATGkompressor but if he's on OC1 with a nc5 bootloader then he wouldn't be flashing the update firmware as that's from coming from kitkat.

The black screen indicates that FF moved wipe to the top. Check md5 of your download vrs my afh make sure they match. Then use SS and make sure your using the one compatible with lollipop. See [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] sig for version and forum on how to use it. SS is better. Sometimes FF doesn't even flash all tje files. So many have had to keep flashing. Not the rom it's the recovery but you can use SS. Which I would.

Going to sons game after that I can get you on the rom if your not on by then. Everyone is helpful .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ATGkompressor:
If you search this thread there is a post i did ( back in early February) when i had to odin back down to nc5 and go thru the kitkat to lollipop procedure because i had stupidly deleted 3minit out of the /system/app folder. But in that post i outlined exactly what i had to do and what order to do it. I had to use safestrap to get back to stangs rom and it worked flawlessly. Just go thru this thread and look for my post that was posted on Feb.5th (im pretty sure thats when it was. Give me a few and i'll try to find it and give u the link. Stang is right, SS is a bit better especially if coming from kitkat, and actually i wouldnt even attempt FF while on kitkat. FF works good for me on LP, never had a problem with it. Matter of fact i've never had a problem flashing anything ever SS or FF.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
You can change to prompt [emoji41]. Glad you got on woot!!!!! Not really to much of a recovery Unless your mdk. But I believe FF does save some stuff. Would have to check FF thread . Use the search function in my thread for alpha 4 and krait5 for xposed.

Happy Easter and have fun looking at the new features

sent from my stang5litre Edition 5.0 v3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ganuke2kx:
So far Really like the experience with your Rom Stang5litre...... just a little bit into it this Easter Day. Plan to get more involved with it tomorrow.

Quick question though...... when getting Xposed on my S4...... how should I Flash the Krait5 file ? Can I flash it in flashfire ? ( And if so...... should I use the " flash zip or Ota " ...... or " flash firmware package " ?

Sorry for what I am sure is a noobish question. I did a search but could not find anything specific to answer that question.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] i8qbert:
First install the xposed framework apk file, but do not open it. Next flash the krait zip through FF using the zip option.

Should be good after that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SteveHebe:
Sorry to be such a noob...can someone tell me if it's possible for me to run/install this Rom? (It looks awesome!) I have attached the current info for my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] i8qbert:
You are on OF1 so follow those instructions in the OP. Don't see why you couldn't run it. It's a great ROM[emoji4] very stable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SteveHebe:
Flashfire doesn't work since I am currently not rooted. (Which is one of the issues I have been trying to solve) Can I use Odin to install this Rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
No you have to root before you can flash any rom. Try Wondershare I believe it is. Then get flash fire
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Kingroot also should root OF1, but you get their version of SuperSu... Then again, you are gonna wipe and flash the ROM so I assume you can deal with it for the short time needed to install and open up FF. If not, that is why someone created the SuperSUME app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
I guess no real reason to post, but I just feel the need:

I've had absolutely no issues yet (NK4/OC1), sensors, wifi, gps, sms (haven't tried photos, perhaps i should try to send a photo) or any other problems.

Battery life isn't as great as I'd like but at the same time I still haven't done my tweaks... I can still go almost 2 days without a charge.

Just tested mms - works for me (at least it works sent to my email address - if this is a different issue please let me know).

If I can test anything else on my non-mdk mobile please let me know, only available Mon-Thu BTW.

Again I'm on non-mdk, and strang5litre works very well for me at this time. Just follow the installation instructions [only been doing this for 5 or 6 years, no prob's when FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS & READING the posts...]

I just love this rom, wish I could use this on my GS3 also!!!

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SteveHebe:
I have made it as far as step 10 twice using Non-MDK OF1 instructions. The first time it appears that it only wiped, but did not install the rom. The 2nd time it appeared that everything ran properely but now my phone has been at the "Samsung" screen for well over an hour. Is there a log that I can pull from FF to show me what did and what didn't process?

At this point I guess I will attempt to odin back to OF1 stock and start over from the beginning.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Thanks, but I suspect you missed my follow on. Surge's latest kernel fixed this and another nit that I'd come across running Chainfire's Pry-Fi where it could not get some sort of write permission - can't recall the details now. Previous to flashing the newer kernel I did try wiping caches but that didn't do anything.
