I'm in the process of testing it out on your other rom rn. But flashfire has a backup "all partitions" option that inculdes the modem and everything else. The advantage to this would be that non rooted users could root, and install your rom with one click from any desktop OS linux, Mac, or Windows. I'm not sure but that may or may not be easier for some people.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ya if that goes well could help a lot for sure. But I would want the user to already be rooted as things can go wrong there and it's one less thing someone can say "messed up their phone". I applaud you for giving this a go!! My opinion would be to make just the Rom. Let them root it. But this is just my opinion. [emoji4] [emoji106]

Let me know if I can help you out. Should boot right up with my Rom and the preselected apps already. I would assume. Let me know
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jcwilliams:
Quick question does this ROM have WiFi tether?

Also I'm on of1 and have to use ff so I can just flash the three zips through ff correct?

Thanks

James
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tdct12:
Sorry I got held up. Flashfire backups use tar.lz4(writter as .tlz4) Which was really inconvient. SO I had to make a script to decompile them with help from github BUT! Now that it's made and works very well you guys are free to use it :D Just put the uncompress.sh in the folder containing the flashfire backup and run it (linux only) and it will unpack those pesky .tlz4 files

#!/bin/bash
cd "$(dirname "$(realpath "$0")")";

if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
read -e -t 30 -p "Enter the path to the file: " -i "$PWD/" FILEPATH
echo $FILEPATH

if
[[ "$FILEPATH" == *.tlz4 ]]; then
container=$(basename "$FILEPATH" .tlz4)
mkdir -v $container
echo $FILEPATH
mv"$FILEPATH" "$container"

lz4 -d "$FILEPATH" | tar xvfi - -C "${FILEPATH%.*}"
#lz4 -d "$FILEPATH"
#tarf=${FILEPATH%.lz4}
#tar xvf "$tarf"

read -e -p "Delete original [Y/n]: " response
if [[ $response == "Y" ]]; then
rm "$FILEPATH"
else exit 1
fi

else
echo "$FILEPATH is not an archive tar.lz4"
fi
exit 1
fi
exit 0

As of right now this is not FF compatible as it has aroma installer. Nice Profile Pic!! But a FF friendly version is being worked on by [MENTION=3765071]tdct12[/MENTION].
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jcwilliams:
Ok thanks for the response.

That question was for my wife's of1 s4.

Mine is on 4.4.2 nc5 safestrap so I could pop this in a slot on my phone couldn't I?

Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
You can correct. But with lollipop you have to flash in primary slot.[emoji48]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jcwilliams:
Meaning I'd lose what I have ony phone now then prolly since I'm in primary now right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I don't believe you can backup but the thread will tell you for sure. Sorry I am on MDK. Look [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] sig and make sure you SS version is that one and there also is a link that tells you how to flash SS with lollipop.In his sig [emoji6]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
If you have nc5, you flash the muniz_ri's stock deodex rooted etc which allows you to go back to nc5. THEN you flash this ROM with flashfire... You can go back to nc5 with Odin, and theoretically FF, but I haven't tested that yet. I have also gone from NC5 straight to this ROM with FF...

FF has a backup setting, but It won't transfer from kitkat to lollipop... I just have everything on my microSD and PC...

Source: Done this myself both ways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tdct12:
I figured out what was making ff fc. I think. [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] I got it flashing in ff just fine now, displaying the script in plain text output and all. It seems like your script (or my script but i don't think I changed the wiping part?) hung up on the wiping dalvik cache part. Ima give it a second and see what happens. If not I"ll pull the battery try again. Otherwise I'll send you the script to see if anything got changed in the beginning parts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkkzak:
This is the de-aromad Phoenix rom you're referring to? (that was getting hung up on wiping dalvik cache, but after more script editing seems to be working)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Has the download in the OP been changed to include the contacts fix yet? Or is it the same as it was yesterday? Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tdct12:
yeah I just took out the part that wipes the dalvik cache because you're supposed to that with flashfire anyway. Unforunately it wiped preoload before I had to pull the battery so my phone is soft brick and heimdall is being a jerk lol. Worst case scenario I have to install windows on my other hard drive so I can use odin. But after that I'll try it again and I have a feeling it will work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Just wanted to report in after a week of normal use. I have run across zero ROM issues whatsoever. In fact, I've been running without the benefit of exposed for the first time in a long time and see little need for it with this ROM. I only mildly miss the Wanam Torch but I can live without it. Even the battery life is great without exposed. I really like this one.

I was sold on stang5litre V2 but his new work is winning me over. Of course, as he releases new versions I'm sure I'll jump around. Shocking to have options with such an old phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Both are uploading now :) AFH takes forever. But will be up. Sorry it took me so long.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
You should have left the script alone. It was already set up for FF. So all you had to do was replace the updater script from stang5litre rom to this one. And of course add the apps and mod apks and that's it. Another reason I would leave that in as FF isn't reliable so it's extra safety imo. Hope you get your phone back up man. I use duel boot. For that reason. Plus the wife doesn't like Linux
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ya v3 is gonna be good ;)

Added as much as I could. Glad you like this one as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tdct12:
Windows 10 screwed up my duelboot ueif and what not. but when I said script I did mean updater script lol. You know how you included a wipe in the very beginning in case someone forgot to wipe with FF or maybe it's necessary either way I dunno. For some reason it hung on wiping dalvik.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Never apologize to me! :) I'm always in your debt for making this phone great! :) I'll wait to download until you let us know the update is up. Thanks!

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

Oh, one question. I have a lot of apps installed, so I'm always running out of internal space. Which ROM, this or V3 do you think can use the least space?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
I would keep it in there it has already been proven to work on FF. Look at my thread. But either way just one line to take out lol. Ya I know what you meant. Never leave win7...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Tbh I think this has more Installed so v3 is gonna have more space. But this has a few features v3 won't have and v3 has some this doesn't have. So should be fun to play around with the selection we have now. [emoji14] [emoji106]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Win 10 is only good if you have pro and know how to disable all the Microsoft crap...

I still am having trouble with steam tho... Seems app related as it freezes in the app tho.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
[MENTION=2169902]Redflea[/MENTION] your MDK right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Page has been updated Both Roms have contact fix already in :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Yes!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
It's up flash away [emoji106] [emoji14]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Flashed, looong reboot after install and then came up and configured and only one issue so far - PIN lock doesn't work. I've lost my notes on the build.prop edits required to enable it. Do you have those, Stang?

Other than that this ROM looks pretty cool... :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkkzak:
Did you have PIN lock issues on the rom before the contact fix version was uploaded?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
I only installed the new version w/contacts fixed, never used the first version.

I finally tracked down the build.prop PIN edits, PIN is working fine now. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkkzak:
Can you post quick instructions? That would be amazing! I know it's picky but unfortunately no PIN code is a no go for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
See attached...place a # symbol in front of the two lines starting with "Security" as I have. Save and reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] signupstuffid:
Can the aroma installer be made to make installing all google apps optional?

I realize that this may be a question that is bigger than this particular ROM, so I will look for more info on how aroma works.

Basically, when this ROM has all the features working, eg. wireless screen mirroring and I can remove all the google services, I will have the perfect ROM for my needs with this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Sorry about that . Up at the hospital. I should have checked the build prop before I uploaded. Glad you got them from the other rom. Guess I'll be uploading the roms again. ....... takes forever on afh. Glad you brought that to my attention though[emoji106] . Thanks for posting the fix until I get these re uploaded with that fix. I'll Get that up later today since it's 3am.

Hospitals are no fun......especially at 3am.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Just delete all the Google apps. If it's not a option in aroma you can just delete it from the zip before you flash it. [emoji6]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dviant:
Great ROM so far! Thanks! I used SS to install and everything went well. I noticed that it's possible to reboot into the stock recovery. Since SS isn't readily available (without NC5 Flasher), would flashing files using the stock recovery work? It would make it easier than having to run NC5 Flasher every time.

---------- Post added at 08:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 AM ----------

One more quick note: I noticed in the phone info that the model number changed to GT-I9505 and the CSC country is Greece. Not losing sleep over this, but is that info changeable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkkzak:
You can't flash files in Stock recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Go to my stang5litre thread it's posted there. I'll get that up today as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
No worries - I know a lot of users don't use PINs, so it's not top of mind. :)

Hope things are OK w/you and family, agree that hospitals are not fun at any time day or night!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dviant:
So here's an interesting bug. I have the notification panel pretty bare-bones. Only the toggles. If there are no messages to display, the toggles don't go down all the way. I'm including 2 screen caps. One with the top bar solid color and one with the top bar transparent. Not a big deal, but wanted to mention it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
I've got a repeatable reboot issue:

MDK

- Hot reboot: Phone comes up w/not data or voice/text connection. Cycle Airplane mode and data & voice/text are restored.

- Full reboot: No issues w/data or voice/text
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkkzak:
Hey man I don't know what's going on but I hope you and your family are doing well and staying healthy!! :good: Best of luck to ya
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Interesting. That is weird... see what the log says. Any other MDK users have the same issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Kid had a issue so it's always more concerning when it's your kid and not yourself. [emoji53] But luckily he is fine atm and is happy as can be.

Thanks so much for your concern as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dviant:
I had the same issue, but I'm SS. No call when hot boot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Can you get a log?

See of you can get a log . Use a app called "catlog" pls. So I can see what it's doing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkkzak:
Anybody else having a problem where their dialer call button is mostly off the screen?

I didn't want to download the rom all over again so I just replaced this file in SecContacts folder, set permissions, and now my dialer call button (below the dial pad) is 90% off (below) the screen.

I'm using tamirda's mod 2 for the launcher (only changes the dock and adds folders) could that be it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
I do not have any issues with the dialer or contacts, but I haven't messed with that sec apps much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkkzak:
You just flashed the rom that had the contacts fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
No.... What am I missing,... Haven't flashed since Release, no time

Working on OF1!!

:good::good::laugh::good::good: Woohooo!! :good::good::laugh::laugh::good::good::laugh::p

Gave it a try and works like a charm!

I installed the rom on a SafeStrap capable phone, then made a backup using FlashFire, transferred the backup to my OF1 daily driver S4, then in FF:

-Wipe (System Data, 3rd Party Apps, Dalvik and Cache),

-Restore (selected the Phoenix rom backup),

-"+" button and select "Flash ZIP or OTA",

-Add VZW_OF1_WifiFix.zip,

-Add SuperSU-v2.52 Beta.zip

Took about 10 mins to boot, ran through initial setup no problems. Now to TiBu and get it setup!! ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkkzak:
[MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] how can I create a flashable zip with this? Using a program like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=zip.me ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcx6:
I have the same issue, not positive what launcher I chose on install, thinking that it was the one you referenced. I did the SecContact replacement and fixed permissions also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkkzak:
I re-downloaded the rom and that fixed it. Stang must have put in a completely different dialer and contacts app because they look much more slick on the re-download - I'd recommend you do the same :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcx6:
Thank you for the update, will re-download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dviant:
Having spotty Wi-Fi connection after installing. Is there a Wi-Fi fix that would be compatible with ROM? Thanks.

Just saw that there's a VZW_OF1_WifiFix.zip around but can't find it.

[MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION] I'm just realizing that I can't get notification access to stick in between reboots for Pushbullet and Greenify, but the pre enabled GlanceViewMk always stays granted. Any ideas? Maybe somewhere I can go in the build.prop?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dviant:
Well, that didn't go well. I now have no Wi-Fi at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkkzak:
That was made for the OF1 kernel, you didn't flash OC1 on top of it did you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 3link22:
Hay guys how to show low battery notification for this rom..please help me?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
1st off congrats and thanks for your persistence and stepping up!!!![emoji48] [emoji48] [emoji106] [emoji106] [emoji12] Let's take this to PM.

At a birthday party with the kids so it will be after that.

Your are correct!!! I did change them out lol. Sorry wanted it to look a little better.

The Dropbox was a minor quick fix until I got that uploaded.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
That was made for OF1. You need OC1 modules. This is why you lost your wifi. Grab the modules out of the zip and replace them and your wifi will be back

Let me look into this. Been working hard on v3 . Gonna have to flash this rom so I can get some reference of what I need to be looking at. I haven't got any logs so not sure..... but we need to find out what option is messed up so I can either take it out or swap it with a working apk. But since there is 4 options I need to know what everyone choose.

At a kids birthday party atm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dviant:
UGH!! Yup. Sure did. Gonna try stang's suggestion of getting the OC modules out of the zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stang5litre:
Ya change modules and wifi just to be extra sure. That will fix your wifi. Make sure your permissions are set.

I can't root my phone anymore but my project is pretty solid. If anyone wants to try to flash it just download the rom, delete everything in metainf>com>google>android and put in my binary and updater script, and switch the boot.img with mine. It will either work or possibly soft brick your phone. Have fun :p link
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkkzak:
Sweet man! I'll have to try that out and report back, maybe this weekend.

Why can't you root your phone anymore? Wondershare won't work anymore? I remember you had it bricked pretty hard

This ROM looks amazing. I'm sold onto going on Lollipop now! I'm so excited to flash it this weekend <3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tdct12:
I used smart switch to unbrick and my best guess is it had some sort of hidden update in the firmware because wonders hare doesn't work at all anymore. HA I just odin'd a downloaded version and it let me root. bout to test it outttt

Thanks you will be even happier with v3 coming soon;)

Did you get rid of the stuff i mentioned in that updater script?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tdct12:
Did you pm me? I don't have any messages from you. Whatever I changed, flashfire doesn't even try to flash it now. It just skips straight to the next item after a second. I checked with the original boot img so the problem must be something in the updater script. PM whatever problems you saw and I'll fix it up :D I'm super excited to finally get this running. You did get stuff I pm'd you right? [MENTION=4840281]stang5litre[/MENTION]

Has anybody tried using the Xposed module Smart Network by wanam? I am having massive problems with it so please be cautious!

After installing the module it was supposed to turn off data when wifi was on but it turned off my whole network instead. So I froze the app and rebooted, and was no longer able to connect to the network. I tried to re-enable module then reboot; re-enable module, turn off master switch(in module settings), reboot; re-enable module, turn off each setting within the module, keep master switch on, reboot. Nothing worked. I'm going to have to reflash the system, luckily I have a very thorough FlashFire backup history. Also, when I go into Settings --> More networks --> Mobile networks --> Network operators it searches for a while then only returns with GSM networks (AT&T or T-Mobile (shows either/or/both)). So I think somehow this module wiped the Verizon settings port on this rom.

I'm going to try flashing just the system and will report back. Mind you, this is the second system reflash I am doing because of this module; I had to do a fresh install yesterday but today I did a backup right before I flashed Xposed and before each module.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkkzak:
I gotcha -- I haven't seen it before either, but the app is tucked away in the settings. Go to settings --> Phoenix settings --> then it's like halfway down says additional apps or something, it's in there :highfive:

Oh man....so I can't connect to service at all..been trying for the last 4 hours. Need to sleep but I already Flashfired a backup; factory reset then FF backup; Odined back to stock with a no wipe tar then factory reset; then factory reset that after still no signal and re-odined the tar. All I can get is in the setup wizard it takes 5 minutes to tell me "We're having trouble activating your phone. Please call (877) 807-4646 from another phone to activate your 4G LTE service and then try again."

Anybody have any tips or experience?

RESOLVED!! :laugh:

So I just went through the setup wizard and rebooted a couple times. All of the sudden my reception was working! (I had been to verizon's website and either needed to have called a number from another phone, or if doing it online I needed to have another phone on my plan to receive a verification code ---what a hassle!!!)
