S7 is nice but it's feels the same size as my s4 I even put it up next to it. Same size. Nice metal body. Camera is stellar on both of them. As soon as they launch they are focused Un like the s4. Fingerprint scanner works good. Two s7 locked up at the mall with my print lol. Premium feel from both . Just the extra length. In the edge gives it a edge lol. But both really good phones. This is a perfected s6 with extras imo. Battery. Prob solved Tons of storage. Ordering offline you get a better deal than going to the store for some reason. Weird. But looked at nexus again and the camera couldn't compare . But it unlocked so rid for tat.

Have this up and running now for a couple days. Like it a lot. Thank you so much for your time and effort. It is really appreciated.

Still learning some of the nuances of it.

Will make a donation. You deserve it.

I'll have another rom for you to try soon [emoji89] [emoji48]

Did you get to see it? I had my s4 next to it. What you thinking

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
What I see in the OP appears specific for SS & FF which does not apply in my case as I'm on MDK and using TWRP. (or I'm just being stupid)

It's no big deal really as I can change the SuperSU setting as needed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
OH SORRY AliceBToklas forgot you were MDK. So you had to change to granted? You shouldn't even of had to flash Su. Did you ? If you flashed it that might be your problem. MDK Doesn't Flash the SU zip. If you did that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
np - really just wanted to be sure I was confused or missing something obvious.

I did not flash SU - ever as a matter of fact. And, yes, I do have to change to grant. I can't say for certain but only noticed this after going to surge's kernel. I might switch the kernel to see if that's does the trick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
That is so weird..... let me try flashing his newest one and see if that happens to me. If not i think your going to have to delete the apk and reinstall it. Takes forever counting apps lol. You did wipe Delvik and Cache before Kernel right? I'm sure you did but just asking. And just fyi, I still used Loki Doki on the newest one just because lol. at 128 out of 228 apps optimizing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
You don't have to bother. I'm backing up now in preparation to try a kernel switch and might grab surge's latest while I'm at it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I needed to update to the newest one anyways if you reboot it doesn't save. So no worries. Just got through and let me check my SU settings Mine is set to Prompt with Re-Authentication Checked. So mine worked fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wicked One 612:
Flashed and confirmed working well. :good: Thanks stang!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Anytime :o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wicked One 612:
Alice,

I was in the same boat as you, on MDK and SuperSU was not prompting. I followed the instructions under SS/FF to flash the new SuperSU Beta zip anyway and it solved the prompting issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Thanks. Just as an experiment I'm going to try a kernel or 2 before going down that path.

I will report back on the results but, as stange5litre opined, it takes a long time to rebuild caches.

So, you just extract the apk from that zip and install it? Nothing special to do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wicked One 612:
Rebuilding the caches on my phone takes about 10 minutes, not too bad.

I didn't extract the APK. I flashed the entire zip through TWRP. No need to clear caches or anything, worked well for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Well, this went quicker than I expected. I flashed surge's latest kernel and it all works as expected - prompted for root access when I launched TBU. I double checked that SuperSU is still v2.46 so nothing changed there. All good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
So the kernel dated 6/15 is Surge's latest?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
I grabbed the one from the link in the OP - kernel-jfltevzw-06-12-15-kexec.zip. There may be a later one that I don't know about.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
That's the latest, I made it a few weeks ago but only posted it recently (thus the date confusion) also don't worry about the kexec in the file name (I added some kexec prep things, but for the common user the only noticeable difference is prob that /proc/atags exists now)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
My bad, I meant 6/12. <oops!> :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Thanks. Interestingly it fixed my issue with SuperSU (not) prompting to grant root privs as well. All is well in Androidland now thanks to you & stange5litre (+ others for the help).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rrrrrrredbelly:
Did you use FF to flash the kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
No, TWRP. I'm on MDK.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] madhits45:
Really hoping you can help me. I have your v2 rom on my phone. but I did something stupid and installed the s4 active unlock screens with flashfire. It deleted some key system apps but also removed whatever allows you to install apps in android. I had flashfire still installed but it failed to get past the scanning stage to flash your v3 rom, flashfire crashes. Now I figured a fresh factory reset would fix that but Im in the same boat. I can now not install flashfire and I think I just paper weighted my s4. Is there a way back from this. I can do a lot and have tried to install flashfire v20 from adb but it does not work. My device never gets it to show up on the installed apps. I thought about applying v3 from recovery but not sure this will work since I am on OF1. So before I go further I figured id ask for your help. I usually dont do this as I figure most things out myself but Ive really got myself in a hole here.

UPDATE: Unless I hear otherwise I think my only option is to install kies reinstall OF1 and start over with flashfire and v3 of your rom. Sucks to have to do all that to get back.

UPDATE2: Seems kies wont see my device because I've got stage5litre. So I am SOL..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Sorry just red this. Ya your going to need to Odin and re root and add flash fire back then flash . Sorry man

Sent from my stang5litre Edition 5.0 v3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] madhits45:
Thanks Stang.. yeah I guess ill have to use odin. Seems like there is something I am missing. It is correct that I cant use recovery to apply the update v3 of your rom? There is an option but I think it will fail because I have a locked bootloader. However I am not sure.

Also can i use odin to flash your v3 directly? Or do I have to download stock and go from there?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
You Odin stock then root and install ff . Then install the rom. Just make sure ff doesn't move wipe to the bottom .

Yah me neither. They had it at my verizon as well. Took a bunch of picks . Camera is fast ..not one blurry shot. So testing went well lol. Looks like they took unlock effects out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] alvin3839:
Never works

So I've tried to flash this ROM over a dozen times but it never seems to work. I was originally on OC1 stock, so I got went ahead and rooted using Kingroot. Then, I used SuperSUme to get SuperSU. I proceeded to download the files and then I flashed it with flashfire. Didn't work. My GS4 would boot, but it would only show "Samsung custom" with an unlocked lock or it would actually show the Samsung Galaxy SIV logo. It would play the sound, but after the logo, the screen would be black. The phone would refuse to do anything afterwards. I thought it was FlashFire glitching, but after 8 tries on OC1, I decided to test my luck on OF1. I updated via Odin and followed the instructions. It didn't work. One thing I did see that was similar between my OC1 and OF1 experiences was that every time FlashFire was doing its thing, it never seemed to flash the ROM as it always said that Symlinks could not installed or something like that. Every time I tried it that was always consistent. Can ANYBODY help? I want to really breed new life into my old Samsung Galaxy S4...

I followed the directions to the pixel. I didn't miss anything. From top to bottom, the flash order was Wipe (With/without Cache Partitions) --> ROM --> WiFi Fix --> SuperSU beta

PLEASE HELP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] madhits45:
I am in the same boat as this guy. I have tried about 6 versions of flashfire thinking that was the issue. I also have the phone not boot exactly as described above. I am on OF1 and usta use flashfire .20 (to install v2 of your rom), but have tried ,19, .20, .21, .24, .26 & .27 all with the same results. I figured it was than a corrupt rom so I re-downloaded everything. Same results. I guess v3 is not ready. Unless I am missing something here. I have tried the same process over and over & getting no where. Hope you can HELP US!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mugsy77:
As I had issues installing ROM (not related to ROM, but likely FF) please try both of these suggestions:

While on OF1 Bootloader, move all of your files you will be using (ROM, VZW_OF1_WifiFix.zip, SuperSU, and OC1 kernel to your internal storage, then install OC1 kernel via Odin (link is in here somewhere I think), then go into FlashFire and follow instructions to a T, then try installing ROM. I did both and between the two, was able to install v2 and v3 through this method. Not sure if anything is redundant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] madhits45:
Shoot just tried it again and it worked. Now seeing stang boot loader for the first time. It is flash fire .24 that worked or the fact that my rom file was corrupt. Either way thanks for your suggestion. Having everything on internal memory is a good idea.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] alvin3839:
Did you follow the OF1 instructions?

Also, do you have the link to the directions to flash the OC1 bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
Was able to play a bit with both. Camera was excellent, and I can see what you mean about the 7 feeling small. I really wish they had made a non-edge version with the larger screen, as i didn't fall in love with the edge. Maybe it would grow on me the longer I'd use it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ya I hear Ya. But it does have some cool features. Trying to find someone I can use their upgrade to get it. Not gonna lose unlimited data. So may be screwed and have to stay with the s4 until I leave verizon. Spent 3 hours on the phone with them yesterday and they are calling back today. So I guess I will see. Mad now ..... [emoji35] [emoji35] [emoji35]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Do you use that much data that validates keeping unlimited at that high cost? I know a few people that still have it but don't actually need it but just have that mentality of "don't want to lose it cause it's then gone forever". I know much less people that actually do need it. I rarely used the full 2gbs on my plan back when I was stateside.

The Project Fi billing system is the best by far but lack of phones. lol

I still got another 3 months to decide but may hold on to this S4 a little while longer most likely.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mugsy77:
Yeah, it's funny... I had unlimited and only used 1-2GB a month but Verizon raised our rates end of 2015 for unlimited so we dropped their sorry butts; that's the only good reason for us to keep vzw was that. Cell phone providers these days are a lot better than than were 5-10 years ago. Left 'em for no contract pre-paid for 25% of the cost.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I found a way I believe to keep my unlimited. But silver edge is back ordered till April. S7 is to small or I would go for that. I use my data.. maybe 1 month you have a low data month ,but I use mine to let my kid watch YouTube , stream movies and so on. Also use the hotpot on vacations . So comes in real handy. Kid racked up 1.5 gb in like an hour and a half just watching youtube. Why pay basically the same for less ? Not me lol

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
It will be up today sorry 4 the delay. Was waiting on my testers to give me the OK and I forgot to change something so already re uploaded both roms. Just doing the OP through out the day. It's halfway there. Just got to basically copy and paste my instructions and make a new thread and so on. I think everyone will like it. Sensors are also fixed on [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] s6 port. Just a FYI.

And thanks for for the appreciation :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Does anyone have an upgrade they are willing to sell me? The plan has to have data to order and which ever line you would do it on you need to make sure your happy with that phone as it will put you in a 2 year contract. Trying to find someone local but striking out. I know some have kids that don't upgrade to much or what have you. Just PM if interested. Thanks

One of my favorite apps is "Bitcoin Ticket Widget", but despite setting it to refresh every X minutes, it just doesn't do it consistently. Sometimes it will refresh a few times and then just stop. Anyone else having this issue with Bitcoin Ticker Widget? People I know with Android who are not running this ROM have no issue with it. I tried a couple of launchers to see if that was causing the refresh issue, but no - it's not working right on any of them.

Any ideas or experience is appreciated! Thank you.

Quick question... I had to odin back to stock, reroot and reflash v2 . Since then wi-fi will not work. the button quickly goes to off when I try to turn it on. I re-odined multiple times, used flashfire and also safestrap with same result.

[MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] Stang5litre5.0 v3 non mdk rom has one annoying bug in OF1 !!

If our screelock is secured with pin and if we reboot our phone the lock automatically turns in to swipe.

This problem is only with PIN lock . Other modes like patter and password has no at all!

Overall the rom is fantastic!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Flash the oc1 modules . Sounds like they didn't stick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Thanks [emoji89] [emoji106] . Please don't quote the OP as it takes up a butt load of room. This issue has been brought up several times with people finding ways to fix it. Search the post or use pattern. Pattern stays through reboot. I know people on OF1 and OC1 that pin lock works fine on. So seems to be a phone by phone basis.

I haven't found anyway to make it expanded desktop. Everywhere says to use another launcher. Apparently tw doesn't play well with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
i didn't flash the firmware, would doing that update my baseband to oc1? In the past I was told to avoid doing that if possible as nc5 was better than oc1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
The firmware includes other necessary files. That it why your wifi is not working.

Also the modem performance is subject to your location.

Not everybody will have the same experience.

You just have to try them.

If you don't like it you can always flash it back to nc5.

There is a thread in the general section that has just the modems.

Or if you wish you could just edit the zip and remove the modem.

If I were you I would try the modem.

Follow the instructions to a T and you won't have any issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] camparks:
With you so adamant on getting a S7 or Edge quickly, I thought about asking if you had some inside scoop, since no ROM deving til atleast root. Decided to wait and ask until after release on 11th and scoping out all the forums. Forgot to ask this weekend, but saw this today and dashed my hopes of moving to a S7 phone myself - thoughts?:

http://www.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7-bootloader-lock-explained-you-might-not-get-aosp-after-all/

Usually, one would just take the plunge and hope, but this isn't looking too good in my opinion unless there's word of a HTC dev like program (though Verizon shut their door on M8/9)

I have read a lot of articles saying they already have a way. But it's all speculation. But every galaxy device has been rooted even s6. So why think any different. Just my opinion but still seeing if I can even get one
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Neffy27:
Alright, thanks for trying though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
I'm extremely new to stang5litre, only found out about this a couple of weeks ago (yes, I've been very busy/lazy - call it what you like)

I'm planning to finally move on from Hyperdrive finally. Has anybody else done this lately? My question is concerning Safestrap and whether or not I should go ahead and delete the AT&T version, then update to 3.75 first. Or just go ahead and ODIN back to NC5 first before performing the operation?

My gut tells me to remove/update to SS 3.75 first but am just looking for any known issues beforehand as I just don't have much free time lately (and also that if/when I update SS I will not be able to use any of my Nandroid backups anymore). Not being lazy at all as I've spent many hours reading this thread (and now the Note5 thread also - this was a whammy I wasn't expecting tonight).

Thanks ahead of time, and thanks to stang5litre for your hard work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] camparks:
When I first moved over from HD, I tried from a clean NC5 ODIN and used Flashfire instead of Safestrap, much like you are thinking. However, I was never successful and had to end up installing SS again and using it.

After that first flash over to S5L, I have since been able to use FF to flash the newer versions, as well as backup and restore. I uninstalled SS and have used FF only since SS wasn't OC1/OF1 friendly. I don't know why FF wouldn't work initially, but others did have same experience.

However, klabit put together NC5 flasher which flashes back the NC5 kernel to allow SS to boot on restart. Once done in there, the user then flashes the OC1/OF1 kernel before exiting to allow the ROM to boot once again.

In the mean time, another dev took over SS maintenance and made an updated version based on TWRP 3.0. Not long after that, the concept of NC5 flasher got merged into the new SS with automating the OC1/OF1 kernel flash on exit. However, I have not yet had the opportunity to try it out. I may soon though and try stang's Note 5 ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
Got most everything working but cannot boot into SS at all. So I can just uninstall it then install FF without any issues? Or would I need to odin back and start a fresh install using FF?

Actually it looks like Giggle has removed FF from the play store. I did find the NC5 flasher so will give this a try, sucks that SS backups won't restore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
You can install FF with no issue. As it's not a real recovery tech.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
I saw in a video that FF wipes the data partition? I'm guessing that isn't true? (I hope).

Anyway everything else so far seems to going well - my install only took a few minutes before reboot, 8-10 minutes after that, and I was up and running.

Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Use the updated ss by mohammed in the development section.

It works for backups and restores flawlessly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
Found SS 4.01 in his GS3 post - assuming you meant this.

Thanks, I'll try it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
no no no not that!

using ss from another device can brick you

Thanks again.

EDIT: unfortunately still not working for me - still cannot press the [recovery] button and just boots stan5litre as usual.

Guess I'll try the NC5 Flasher with this SS, make a backup, then see if restore does work - hope it does otherwise I may end up needing to odin.
