[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hsbadr:
Until MS v2.0 comes out, the easiest way to convert recovery-flashable .ZIP to MS .IMG is to remove system mount line in the updater script & mount any available IMG (e.g., stock copy) before flashing, as follows:

su
mount -rw -o loop /MultiSystem/img/system/system.img /system

I assume that the IMG is stored in /MultiSystem/img/system/system.img. Test the above command before flashing, by checking /system contents & running the following command:

mount | grep /system

This should show a loop device instead of the actual system partition.

Then, you can replace system mount line with a script that mounts the IMG. To create an IMG from the system partition:

su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system of=/MultiSystem/img/system/system.img

Could anyone share some screen shots of the ROM?

Home screen, settings, and other areas?

I'm interested in getting Lollipop and I'm still on Nitro's Eclipse (which is awesome!)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Current version is stock, looks the same as stock touchwiz S4 lollipop, which you can find pictures of all over the internet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] skepticmisfit:
home screen isnt much different from stock touchwiz
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Ahh ok, I wasn't sure if it had been themed or not.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
[MENTION=6755029]PrevailNow[/MENTION] once you have the img created I can keep a live link on afh.

Once [MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION] releases the script to convert a rom.zip to rom.img it will be much easier for us to do this.[/QUOTE]

I have looked at this as well even though i will never use a VM as my main for a daily driver. (Just me) Either way you can already make it to a .img file already doing a couple methods like using adb to do it as well. Takes a while to convert to .img so if you go this route let it be known it takes a while. But as soon as i get done with 2nd edition ill try pulling one. I dont think their is a point in making 1 for the 1st edition when 2nd is on the verge......... just my opinion ? just like people that just flashed... sorry will be re flashing REAL SOON!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Sorry their will be pics soon. I got caught up in the beginning. My apologies
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
I'll hold off on reflashing and live with the issues till v2.0 then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mhaas75:
Would I be correct to assume this will work with the Odexed OTA lollipop that's rooted?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I would to ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Sorry didnt get to update the thread internet keept messing up. And i live where there is no cell service 99.9% of the time but if a squirrel jumps by i get connection for a little. Hahah about to add OC1 instructions to OP. You just have to be rooted with King root make sure you have root still after swapping king to superSU

Get FF after installed.

then follow FF install instructions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mhaas75:
Hi Bren123, did you get this to work on an odexded version OTA upgrade?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bren123:
I got it install after installing the lollipop Ota and rooting with king root then installing supersu then following the flash fire instructions and it's working fine

---------- Post added at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

Thanks stang5litre for this awesome rom though I have 1 issue I install xposed and its causing a constant upgrading on every reboot so I tried to factory reset still exists so I tried to reinstall the rom through flash fire nope still exists even without installing xposed so I tried to change to dalvik from art still exists it's really annoying is this fixable without have to use my computer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Sorry no there is nothing you can do. But to be honest really not long @ all and a small sec to spare to get rid of the ugly Verizon check splash screen which is way longer then my Rom to boot up ;). Wife has stock OC1 non rooted and mine boots faster. Plus more room etc. This comes from running deodexed apps on Samsung since they are using art.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PrevailNow:
One of the beauties of MS is the fact that by using a virtual ROM for your daily driver, you can keep the stock ROM in pristine condition. That way you can mod and tweak the VR without any worries. If you mess up the VR, like I did, then you can always just boot to the stock ROM or any of the other VRs installed. The performance will not suffer in any way since read speeds from the ext4 partition on the SDcard are more than adequate.

@hsbadr 's instructions seems very straight forward, just modify a single line in the ROM.zip's updater-script that mounts the system partition. First, manually mount the VR, and double check that the right one is mounted, then just flash the ROM.zip with the modified updater-script and reboot into the new VR. I believe the VR image could then be copied for others to use. You could also just flash the stock ROM partition, and then use MS feature to create a VR image; this way you don't have to change the updater-script, but I realize some are hesitant to mess with the stock ROM and would prefer to flash the mounted VR. Once the image is created, others can simply copy it to the appropriate MS folder, without flashing anything. So, having the ROM images available makes installing and changing ROMs super easy and much safer than flashing the traditional way.

OTA 5.0.1 oc1

Can this rom be installed on a rooted 5.0.1 OC1 OTA from Kies?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
No you can't install this from kies. You need to be rooted with King method. Then you have to replace king with superSU. Then install FF and use FF instructions in the OP to install the Rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Testers be on the lookout for a PM will be tonight or tomorrow. Heads up. ??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 66gt350:
If you are needing testers, I'd be happy to be a tester again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joey#erenko:
I'm on oc1 stock can I still flash it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
As long as you are rooted with King root, then you need to swap king with superSU, make sure still have root , install FF and follow those instructions from the OP from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bren123:
When you are going to have testers can it be flashed with flashfire on oc1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Stang. Perfect time to test. I get out of school tomorrow VERY EARLY.

I'll be waiting...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Yes it will be as you are now on FF

When I do my testing I test MDK and have another as well and then have 2 test for SS/FF That way all bases are covered. Since your on FF now with my 1st edition you just follow instructions for FF install and your good 2 go. ;)

Lol I think a couple people are waiting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beej1970:
Where can I find the link for UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?

Nevermind got it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bren123:
I would Love To be a tester.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beej1970:
followed the instructions, everything seems ok...i guess.

Saw the Samsung screen, screen went dark, heard the start up jingle.....now screen is black

actually been like this for 10 mins........

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------

Think it's bricked or something. Hopefully I can Odin it back.:(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
If you followed the instructions you should be fine. What Base are you on? And where are you at now as far as phone goes?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beej1970:
I'm on the OTA 5.0.1.

I followed them to a T. (not my first rodeo :))

now, just letting it charge. I tried removing the battery and rebooting. similar thing, went to Samsung screen (shows cutstom icon), flashes the SS screen 3x, then turns black.

I was attempting the FF method
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] srut2000:
it probably because you use flashfire but you already have safestrap probably safestrap interferes with flashfire or reversed not sure
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beej1970:
I had made sure to unistall, just like the instructions....but who knows.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Correct if your on SS follow those instructions not FF. Can't have both
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beej1970:
i made a rookie error in taking the damn OTA (not knowing i couldn't get out of it) and have been paying the price since.

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

i am/was on the stupid OTA of OC1, cant use SS. Managed to get root with Kingroot, swapped with SU'r . I knew i had SS from a prior attempt, so I made sure to uninstall. Maybe something get left behind? Everyone else seems to be ok.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ya that sucks. But really you just can't use custom kernels. So your not out to bad. Could be stuck not being able to flash anything. That would suck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ya most likely, everyone else is doing fine so it's got to be something small
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beej1970:
It does suck!

Now i just need to the phone unstuck so i can at least get it functioning again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Can you get into download mode? Or recovery preferred obviously.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beej1970:
Download yes......recovery no
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Your gonna have to Odin back to OC1 and re root and start over. Do you have the .tar file?

If not you can get it from Samsung open sources
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beej1970:
downloading it now.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
After you get it back up just use King root method again then http://zidroid.com/how-to-get-ride-and-replace-kinguser-with-supersu-app/ to put superSU on it then Install FF Then follow the FF install instructions and you should be good to go. Let me know please
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Woot!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ToastyZ71:
So, moved over to this thread now, and looking at the FF install instructions... but I don't get the 1st step... I never had SafeStrap installed in the first place, so no recovery to uninstall, etc, and don't I need to keep a stock kernel? On OC1 stock/rooted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
one second let me look. If you have FF installed you should just be following those instructions maybe i missed something uno mo mento

Just start off at the FF step. And your good to go. Skip that SS stuff as you already have FF installed correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ToastyZ71:
I haven't installed FF yet - but your FF instructions say to reinstall safestrap first....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Thats to make sure that SS has been removed. As you don't even have SS you can Proceed and install FF for recovery. A lot of people don't know that you can't just install one over the other. So kind of a safety net
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
[MENTION=5574802]Neffy27[/MENTION] I know you have both MDK and SS/FF MDK version is @ 78% uploaded. [MENTION=2169902]Redflea[/MENTION] I will be Uploading NON-MDK version as well.

TESTING PHASE WILL BEGIN LATER TODAY. If no issues will release tonight but usually like to give my testers a day or so at least to make sure they don' t run into anything. I know most would just release and just see what happens and fix on the go. But i prefer to put out something that has been tested very well so your experience is better. I hope you can appreciate this and Get Ready!!!!!

This is not what you need.

"With this app you will be able to easily flash boot.img, recovery.img and also .zip files.

To flash .img files, you won't even need to have a custom recovery. Just flash and reboot.

To flash .zip files, you'll need a custom recovery. If you have TWRP you will also be able to wipe cache, dalvik and data"

A little help

So I have Hyperdrive RLS 19 install through SS. With NC5 I believe my question is is it possible to run stang5litre and which path should I take. I tried looking around and could't really find anything that was a definite answer. And I just don't want to screw anything up and also want 5.0 with out stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Follow SS instructions in OP and what do you mean by this:

. This ROM is pretty much stock with minor mods and debloated.

My MDK phone did the same thing.... I did use your link to update my modem and things look correct now.

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

Couple things.

1. Ongoing Wifi notification is going to drive me ape. Any way to get rid of that?

2. Circle battery. what's the best way to accomplish getting a circle battery?

thanks, !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Circle battery xposed wanam.

And what do you mean by in going wifi notification? Are you leaving wifi on and when you get near networks it pops up?

What are you messing with the modem for?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Follow SS instructions on OP like Neffy27 advised. And as far as stock goes there is no Verizon except for hot spot and all amazon and all that bs is gone. If you read the OP says what it comes with etc. But I will be updating soon just waiting on some responses from testers for 2nd edition.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gts24:
1. thanks I will look into xposed wanam. I was hoping there was something flashable (I used to do that with my old s3) for circle battery without installing xposed.

2. Wifi notification. I'm coming from HDROM and didn't have an ongoing notification taking up space on my notifcation bar for simply being connected to my home network. With this 5.0.1 ROM I have a constant ongoing notification that hooray I'm connected to my home network. I don't need that.

I believe i found the "solution" under Settings > Wifi > Advanced > Wi-fi Notifications is checked. So it was constantly using up notification space that my own home network was ...connected. (see what I am citing here, no matter how many times this is cleared it will come back even if I'm sitting on my super stable home network http://i.imgur.com/9iCgIu7.png )

3. I'm "messing" with the modem because in the opening post of this thread, you stated that my modem would in fact be automatically updated to OC1 version when in fact it was not. Just like this user cited in the post you replied to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61502512&postcount=467 You can see my baseband version here after installing this rom: http://i.imgur.com/OjjARkb.jpg

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
2nd Edition people are testing right now I have 3min batt mod in. So that would take care of that as well and you wouldn't have to use xposed. Not sure how you got it to flash without it updating as i came straight from Hyper Drive to my Rom and changed perfectly fine. Along with according to my downloads over 500 people on MDK alone. check img here http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.com/thumbs/3/3/7/5/6/4/4/3375644.jpg where it shows correct
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:

Did you ever find an answer to the headset Volume question? I am running into the same issue. I have used Kernel Tweaks to adjust this, but that causes in call volume to be jacked up as well.

What version of Flashfire?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jlhalz:
No, I never received an answer on the low volume. Stang was wrapped up in fixing another issue.

I rarely use the headset jack so I figured I could wait until next release to see if problem went away.

It was really the only issue I had with the Rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Flash modem only. I have to do the same. I thought it updated but I was wrong. Have to change that in OP like Neffy27 said previously
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Have you tried viper? Increases volume a ton. I never used it and tried it and now I wouldn't be without it. Increases volume I would say almost 50%. But you shouldn't have any volume issues as it is the same levell stock OC1 compared to my wife's phone. Tried to up the volume within the settings. But it didn't do anything. Try viper and let me know. Haven't forgot about you. Like you said was trying to get everyone running and so on
