Here Are Some Screenshots Of Me Running Stang's Epic Rom.?Thanks Stang
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mochamoo:
Got it installed late last night and all sends to be running great so far. I am missing s health though. I need to figure out how to get that back today. Any tips appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oraixearl:
Thought I'd share my setup on v2 too. I've strayed pretty far from the stock look tho. Had to show both ends of the spectrum. this is what I love about android, how different 2 phones can look that are essentially the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrdeadlock:
Does anyone have a small flashable zip to fix the code lock screen? I tried changing what was mention in the build.prop but the digit lockscreen doesnt work after reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oraixearl:
I used kernel adiutor to change the build prop and it worked. Don't know if that helps. Haven't seen a zip for fixing it, but the new links have the fix if you want to reflash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mhaas75:
How did you find it with Kernel Auditor? Did you just insert pound sign in front? Thanks! By looking at build prop in the system files, the pound sign is already there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Go get some rest stang. If you dont, well ban you for a week so you will be forced to rest :P

Can someone see if they have calendar. I don't see mine...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
The stock calendar was removed. I've moved to the Google calendar and find it's perfectly fine for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oraixearl:
When did you flash? He fixed the ROM and updated the links. If it's there you prob got the fix already. You can do a search for the line you're looking for in the build prop editor of kernel auditor and it will come up. And then put the # in front.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheLoonyRebel:
Thank you. :good:

I'm assuming the stock Non-MDK version already has the kernel in it so I can flash simply that in SS to have everything ready to go for running stang5litre v2 then? No worries about the kernel step as outline in the SS instruction is what I'm getting at... I just want to make sure I all the steps down before performing this install. :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
The kernel is not included.

Mainly because if you flash any mods or anything for the rom you will still need to flash the kernel afterwards.

So it's best to keep the kernel separate.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheLoonyRebel:
Yeah totally makes sense. Got all the stuff downloaded including Xposed so I got all this set and yeah I'm assuming flash the kernel after installing Xposed (since I'm installing Xposed after at least one boot of the ROM itself)?

Thanks for all the help. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NapalmDawn:
I'll do a reset from the stock recovery. All I'd done is a wipe when I was in the boot loop.

I used the flashfire method and made sure the zips/wipes were in the right order.

Edit-damn. Still in a boot loop. Pops up to stock recovery with kot49h.i545vrufnk1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
My tip would be the response I already responded to you on about 5 posts up. But you may want to do your own thing which is totally cool.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
yep i would flash xposed before restoring a bunch of apps,

makes the wait for optimizing apps a lot shorter with fewer apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Miss read lol sorry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
if that doesn't work, best i can say is odin back to stock and start over

with new downloads and everything. make sure to check md5 on everything also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Please be aware as well when you make a build prop edit you must reboot fully then set the pin. Send a pic if your build prop and I'll circle Wha you need or whatever is easiest for everyone. Fixed versions have all been re uploaded. Just use a root browser
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NapalmDawn:
Klab-can you link me to a good stock to Odin back to? Most of the rooting work was done last weekend and it was so complicated due to my version, I think I've lost track of exactly what I did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Just got back on and getting booted off already man I feel the love. Lol thanks. As far as the calendar I have a flashable zip for people who must have a planner . Haven't uploaded to afh but it's a page or 2 back from my Dropbox. But I would try Google sync wayyyyy better. Notes are far superior then memo as well make check lists all that.

?stang5litre?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oraixearl:
No worries. Trying to help out where I can. If you see me giving people bad info just tell me to shut up. I'm fairly familiar with aosp and cm based roms, but still figuring out tw.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
I haven't tested this myself but this is the one that everybody I have seen use it.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/development/odin-i545vrugoc1-factory-image-t3160125

Only use this if your bootloader is OC1. as this will not allow you to downgrade at all.

If you are not on OC1 bootloader let me know and i will get you the other one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
[MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] do I need to put that in the OP? Thought i got it fixed with all the links, but with the way my day went yesterday anything is possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Nah. I think the new instructions will clarify any confusion.

I'm working on them right now so should be done soon.

The OC1_firmware.zip will make things easier i believe.

Plus it should be common knowledge if something isn't working properly, just odin and start over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
If after a few days you don't think your getting the same battery or better as on v1 just go to the b prop and at the bottom I put stang5litre then all the tweeks that you can delete for a stock b prop. They are also labeled so you can just delete the battery saving one. I didn't get to test that one extensively. But im able to say I can get 4 hours of on screen time with xposed and I have Mdk with the factory old battery. Let the rom settle before you make the your judgment though.

Tried to make it as easy as possible for everyone.

Hope everyone enjoys v2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Got ya. Thanks a bunch, as always much appreciated [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji2]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NapalmDawn:
I'm not exactly sure what bootloader I'm on. I know I was 4.4.2 prior to beginning the whole flashfire process and what not. In fastboot right now, it says the binary is samsung official and the status is custom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Ok. I believe you will either have NC5, NK1, or NK4 bootloader then.

Do not odin that package. it will update your bootloader.

This is the NC5 odin and will allow you to use towelroot to root then you can start over with instructions in the Stangrom OP.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735172
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oraixearl:
Looks like the battery mods should settle in nicely. First cycle with heavy use I got 3.5 hours sot, and I started with just over 90% battery. V2 non MDK.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Awesome i was hoping it would at least help some. I know yall are stuck on that one kernel so best I could do atm. [emoji4]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mochamoo:
Sorry I did not see your first reply. Appreciate it. Was hoping that you were resting. I updated my post. Was able to get the tb restore to work finally so am good now. Thanks.

Now to do some exploring. ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] champdr0id:
I got it flashed last night and got through restoring my apps. Xposed as well. I was a bit nervous since i never used FF, but all went well. I calibrated my battery after my apps restored, and it just died a little bit ago. I'm letting it charge fully before i dive back in, but I'm happy with what I've seen thus far. Thank you, stang, so much for this amazing piece of work. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
No worries @ all happy to help. Glad TIBU worked for you [emoji106]. I am resting some lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mhaas75:
I redownloaded it this morning. I'll look into it more. Thanks for the response!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mario119:
I've tried to flash this ROM with FlashFire multiple times to no avail. I've triple-checked the instructions, yet it always doesn't work. Once I flash it, it either stays stuck on the Samsung splashscreen or boots to a black screen with an error dialogue. i'm coming from Stock OC1 rooted via KingRoot. This is like the 5th time I've had to Odin back to Stock....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Did you check the md5 of all the zip files?

Also it will stay on the Samsung screen for about 15-20 mins before fully booting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mario119:
How do you do so? I don't believe the files are corrupted. I've downloaded them both thorough my phone directly and from my PC (I transferred them via USB).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Once I've placed the file where I will flash it from I use the app md5checker to check it. Then compare it to what is shown on the afh download page.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mario119:
Alright, the MD5 of the file I downloaded seemed to of checked out. Anything else it could possibly be?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
And you are sure its the non-mdk version right?

something isnt right.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NapalmDawn:
Oh holy crap. I get why the flashfire failed now. I wasn't up on OC1 at the time I was doing the flashfire instructions. I'm now back on a working 4.4.2 that was rooted via towelroot. SU is on, BB is updating the binary as I speak. Should I now follow the safestrap instructions by installing that and going that method? If so, muniz' stock oc1 rom is no longer available but his kernel is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
I would sit tight for a bit.

Stang will be updating the flashing instructions to be easier and faster very soon.

With a new zip package involved that will get rid of using muniz rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NapalmDawn:
Thank you Klab.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] firenemesis7:
Yeah having the same problem here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
what is the error that flashfire gives when it does show an error dialogue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mario119:
FlashFIre isn't giving an error, rather it was Android. The first time I flashed it, it booted into Android. However, the screen was entirely black and a box came up saying something like "Process System has stopped working". Sometimes that happens, and other times (such as now) it gets stuck at the Samsung splashscreen. It doesn't even reach the Boot-Animation. Also, yes I'm sure I'm flashing the non-MDK version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
That is weird.

It may be rom related then.

Will have to see what stang says

Have you tried going into the stock recovery and select factory data reset?

Has anybody successfully flash v2 in ff with OC1 bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] firenemesis7:
Some symlinks failed is the error I get but it still finishes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Ok were you able to flash v1?

I can use that as a comparison
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] firenemesis7:
Yes version 1 flashed fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
and with the same version of flashfire?

not a new updated version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] firenemesis7:
Not sure just downloaded from the playstore both times
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mario119:
I've went into the Stock Recovery multiple times and factory-reset it. It sadly did nothing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Pm sent.

We will try to get to the bottom of this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oraixearl:
I flashed v2 with ff, oc1 no problems. It does take forever to boot, how long are you guys waiting on the splash screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Thank you!

At least somebody got it flashed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oraixearl:
Another thing that happens is ff likes to put things out of order. It wants to wipe last no matter when you select it in the process. I have to rearrange the order everytime I use it. First time I flashed v1 I didn't catch it, it wiped last and it wouldn't boot. Don't know if that has anything to do with the problems people are having.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] edgar.fernandez.1977:
If you use ff change screen time out to 10 min
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheLoonyRebel:
True on that. Normally I do the initial setup on the ROM itself (ie: Google account, wifi, etc) then install the Xposed zip, clean cache, reboot and finish everything else such as Titanium Backup restore.

Got all the files and stuff needed now to get this S4 updated to Lollipop then moved over to stang5litre v2. Most of this is straight forward stuff come to think of it but I wanted to make sure I got everything correct as I've been far enough away from Samsung devices long enough that I feel kind of alien working on one again.

Thanks for being patient with me. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
No problem. Let us know if you need anymore help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] miltblue:
I've flashed both V1 and V2 from 0C1 bootloader with no problems and no errors. Flashed V2 twice because the first time I crashed the UI trying to get get rid of 3 Minit. Flashed tit the first time from V! and the second from stock after Odining back. No problems it work and its a great rom!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Looks like the OP has been updated with the instructions i mentioned earlier.

Should be faster than the previous instructions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Thanks [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] for helping out so much and providing that excellent updater zip!!! This should take some time off for everyone and hopefully it will be easier for people. I am also gonna be uploading a lot of flashable zips for people who want certain apps back like s planner, SystemUI to get rid of 3 minit(which i already posted a couple pages back.) and any other requests just PM me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] biikman:
When u say b prop do you mean the battery properties? Not sure where to locate this.

Thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Build.prop go into your root browser and go into systems and scroll to the bottom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] silverflame112:
Can anybody confirm that this works. Just tried this. I'm on MDK.

I installed APK (didn't run the app) then immediately rebooted to recovery. Flashed the second file. Couldn't get past Android optimizing apps during startup, as the process system (forgot the error) failed. I was given the choice to either wait or close process (either choice resulted in a hotboot). I had to re-flash the ROM to get back to normal.

Maybe it was a bad download? I'm re-downloading now, but I'd rather not go through the same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I am running it right now... are you using my links a few pages back? Should work. Install apk go to recovery and flash zip and reboot. Sounds like a bad download though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
What?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Thanks do much glad your liking it. Bluetooth is solid!! A few pages back I posted the links and instructions for Xposed ? works like a charm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] silverflame112:
Yes, I used your links. I just re-downloaded the files and I'll try again later. I'm hoping it was just a bad download. Thanks! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Let me know please no one has reported any issues with the links or method. Hopefully it works for you next time.

so, I've lost root twice now after flashing rom and updating the binary, safestrap never loads to be able to flash it as per directions http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/general/guide-safestrap-access-odin-t3120483 there ... it hangs at a black screen in the app and then give you the time out error.

no worries it all works great till you go to update su binary and move on to the safestrap install directions to get the wifi working......

no music?

I'm unable to play my mp3 files on this ROM....any idea why?

I noticed there was no native music player so downloaded one but no luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
You need to flash Arter's zip for xposed to work.

I will be pulling the non mdk version off until things are resolved with that project. I will be taking it down around noon. Just a heads up.

MDK users will still be the same as there is no issues with the install there.

Thanks and sorry for inconvenience for SS users. If any SS users would like to test to get the proper Install instructions PM .

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I have a tester working on the install for SS users and I will be trying to get it working with him but as I am MDK I can only do so much from my end. After he gives me the working instructions I will re open the download thread for non mdk. He's already got 90% of instructions done and so far working. Keep you updated. Still being removed @12 until resolved

Thanks for patience and thank the tester for being the only one to step up and try some things. He will be named when done ?. Thanks and stay tuned SS users. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mochamoo:
No freeze ups the last couple of days. I suspect that it was related to low space in internal memory. Did a little housecleaning. So far so good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] {davros}:
Hey in woulda done what ever you needed as well. Didn't see you were looking for a tester. I tried a **** ton of combinations I was going to try this today....

Ff your rom. From oc1 stock also flashing super su updater package

Then the install safestrap stuff and the WiFi fixes and super su again.

Just tried flashing v2 with the OC1 instructions. After it boots past the splashscreen, the screen turns off and the boot-sound starts playing, then goes silent during the middle of it. It's currently stuck on a black screen as I type. Guess I'll have to Odin again...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Did you make sure the order didn't change on you in FF? I had multiple people test this before releasing it. So it's got to be something small that is being missed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Wait, Calibrate Battery? Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

I used Powernap + Amplify + JuiceDefender, and while my screen on time is slightly improved, my stand-by is amazing...

ROM running fine...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mario119:
I've tried flashing this ROM multiple times via FF. I always double check the order (Wipe, ROM, Kernel, SuperSU), so I don't believe that's the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oraixearl:
And there it is. Cracked the 4hour mark. V2 non MDK best battery I've had since getting the phone. And I keep my screen bright...kudos stang.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Nice. What exactly do you do with screen on time? Internet, time checking?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oraixearl:
Browsing, g+, did some photo editing, couple videos. Bit of everything. Playing with it a lot getting it set up after flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Beej1970:
Hmm. For giggles, I just tried to install xposed on my rooted OC1 running V2. I got it from Arter. Unfortunately it states "couldn't parse.."

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Well the order you just typed is wrong ......read the OP please Kernel has to be last for you. Then you will have success. [emoji106] [emoji48]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I am still using the old one I have posted in my thread around page 30 something. Try those. Bet it works for you

Also make sure you install apk don't open app. GO into recovery and flash zip reboot good 2 go.

I just did it with xposed and v5-generic fix from after. Works fine AFAIK.

I just tried flashing the ROM again, however when it was flashing my dog knocked the battery out of my phone... Now my phone won't even boot. Ugh.

---------- Post added at 06:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 AM ----------

Sorry for the double-post, but I'm kinda freaking out here. My dog knocked my phone over while FlashFire was flashing. The battery flung out , and when I put it back in my phone won't turn on. Not even the screen. Without this phone, I have nothing to use, so It's really a concern for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bones519:
I have a similar issue trying to flash with ff. I am on Muniz_ri rooted deodexed oc1 rom with nk1 bootloader. I followed the ff instructions and made sure the order was correct multiple times and I get the some symlinks failed thing then it installs the rest and reboots to stock Muniz_ri rom as if I just did a factory reset. Any thoughts?
