[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
Thank you for helping out on answering questions, You are correct it is based off 0C7 5.0.1 lp as that was the last firmware for the device. It is debloated, black themed and has a Rom control. Along with syscope, signature verification, unlocked all mw apps, and a ton of other mods for customization and performance. The rom is also only from the i537 varient of the s4 active. I made this rom for the i537 since there are no other custom roms for the device atm. It is a stable work in progress there are no major issues. You guys find any feel free to post them so we can work them out. There will be a stock themed rom coming soon. I just wanted to get the Dev Edition out for people to check out.

Also I will get detailed features list and explanation in the op tonight
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Hey [MENTION=4866238]Rick1684[/MENTION] thanks for all your work and sorry I haven't been able to be more involved in this ROM lately, but I haven't had access to an i537 for a little while, until today that is. I'm about to try out this ROM, looking forward to what you've given us. Thanks for keeping this community alive and all your wonderful work. I'll get back to you as soon as I'm able with thoughts/impressions on the ROM, anything you want me to look for in particular? Sorry about not being able to get back to you last time about the incallui, my life is falling to pieces around me (not asking for sympathy, but it is true) but I can always have fun messing around in android :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
I hear ya bro, android is always there for us to escape the drama. Thanks for trying it out I am worried no one is going to find it since the device hasn't had a custom rom for so long if ever. Everything is stable, there are a couple minor things, the theming much more clean. I will get a feature list up ASAP, you can imagine about every guide on xda is baked in plus a few of my own.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
Hey just wanted to clear up for you. This rom is for the i537. It is a stable version but is still under development. So if you find bugs or want features they can be fixed/added to later builds. This Dev Edition is heavily black themed. Stock version is coming. I changed bases on the stock to have s6 ported apps and it is not ready for release yet. We are also reworking our rom control to be more sophisticated so in time we will have more and better versions available to you.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] SAMOANBK47:
Off top thank you! downloading it now, but before i mess anything up i was wondering if u could shoot some more info on the instructions on how to flash and what all i need beforehand? i got this gs4 active I537 4.4.2 NE3 from a friend who didnt want it anymore because they didnt think it was worth saving after the charging port was all screwed up! so i replaced it flashed the stock 4.4.2 firmware and rooted it using towelroot! so i been on here checkin out all the custom roms and most of them have so many steps on flashing their roms im kinda hesitant cuz i dont wanna brick this! so really my question is after the download complete flashing this rom through flashfire is really the only thing i have to do? again thank you for all the hard work!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
Awesome find bro, yeah the power port on these is easy as hell to replace. And yes all you have to do is flash through flashfire. The zip will wipe user data so back up anything you don't wanna lose. Also since the rom is deodexed it will sit on the boot animation for like ten minutes before it starts the setup wizard. Let me know what you think.

Also make sure that whatever rom you flash is for the i537. That is important. Also I would grab the NE3 stock odin flashable package just cause. It's nice to have the stock odin I'm case something happens.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] SAMOANBK47:
Thank you for this rom its been a week and I swear if it weren't for this rom I would have given up on this phone! By far this rom is the sickest rom I've ever flashed on any device! I mean the best (period) I still haven't gone through all the features! Thank you to all the people who made this possible! Mad propz!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] bjeastin:
Looks sick man. Thanks for pointing me to this. Will /data get wiped?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Yes
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] bjeastin:
Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] NGD1:
Yeah, so what you're saying is maybe ff isn't wiping right? I had a hunch maybe if we try a slightly older version it'll work maybe .51 has a bug
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] as66613666sa@gmail.com:
I9295

404 not found

Seems like that URL doesn't exist. Or at least we can't seem to find it. We've even looked under the seat cushions and zip, nada, nothing.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] NGD1:
There was an issue with the Rom he pulled them to fix them
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] as66613666sa@gmail.com:
Thank you we will wait for a new job

good luck
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
Hey if you still have the 1.7 rom i bet it will work if you do not wipe data in ff. Just flash the rom and wipe nothing. The updater script will wipe it anyway. Then after wiping push a needed file to the data partition. I think this will work if you want to try before i up the new build
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] vishnu vfc:
plz suggest micromax q340 roms
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
Also all the people using this rom.... Please do not wipe anything in ff on the initial install. The updater script does this for you. If you do it this way you will not lose the contents of your internal sd card as well. The other reason is after the updater script wipes the data partition it installs needed files for viper and also flashfire as a user app. Thank u and working on the new builds. I am still working a crazy amount of hours but I will get it to you guys as well as all other s4's asap.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] as66613666sa@gmail.com:
Download i9295 beta 1 ?

whether loading for i9295 we expect today ROM

I would like to see it today
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] NGD1:
I might be able to push you talkin adb or a extra zip?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
Well buddy if you are feeling lucky there is a build new build on android file host. The problem we had with the last rom was it seems people were wiping data through flashfire and the way ff works is after the rom installation it wipes the data and there were needed files in data. The updater script in the rom already does this for you and then after wiping writes a few files into the data partition. Normally this would not matter but on the last release I tried using the 3minit clock rather than potato clock an there in lied the problem. I am going to upload a i537 version today that should work reguardless of wipes but I would really recommend that any user using i537 DO NOT wipe in flashfire. The extra files I put there for a reason. They give you a more stable viper and more features to the audio mod.

Here is the link for i9295 test2 i9295 Test 2

If you have time to test I would appreciate it. Be prepared for the worst. You should not encounter the problem that the i537 had due to the way custom recovery works. Just make sure to come from a tw build and flash. Thank you guys again.

New i537 build will be up in a couple hours and I will post it in the forum as a beta. I changed the op download back to 1.6.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
Dont worry about testing the old version. There is a new rom uploading now. So fingers crossed. Also when you flash this one in flashfire just go to install zip and flash the rom. Dont worry about wiping anything in ff. Just be on a 4.4 build or up and enter ff. Then flash the zip without changing anything else in ff. I will post the new rom as soon as it uploads to the server. Thanks for testing buddy
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] NGD1:
Is it the 1.7 beta2 or is it still uploading

Afh upload timestamp never looks right lol

Here is the i537 1.7 lets call it beta , since the first one was flawed. Please try it out. I have odined back to ne3 and tried it myself two times now. Everything is working here. Please when you flash just flash the zip and wipe nothing in flashfire.

Downloading
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] NGD1:
Rom is running little Laggy but I'm sure it'll smooth out as I play with things
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] tke490:
Hey Rick, Thank you again for your hard work. I Odin'd my phone back to original s4 firmware, then downloaded and installed your link to sickasHell 1.6.1 from the first page of this thread, everything appears to work great. No crashes as with your original 1.7. This ROM is aptly named "SickasHell"- truly is. Couple questions: In the quotes above I see links for v 1.7.1Beta1- is this different from the link you have on the first page that takes you to 1.6.1 or is it the same file, just "naming" it 1.7.1betta1? If different, should I install the 1.7.1beta1 instead? Do I need to download and flash the "Viper4 Android Superpolicy Flashable zip" listed on the first page as well or is it already built in? If so, would this be flashed while running your SickasHell Rom via flashfire?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] robertokto:
for 9295?

When is ready the version for GT-i9295? Thx.:good:
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
The 1.7.1 has all the updates from 1.7 I just removed some of the new things I'm working on that caused the issue in 1.7 You can flash it directly over 1.6.1. It will wipe user apps but not the internal SD card.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
As soon as get some time. Working insane amount atm. Supposed to have a three day weekend so we will see.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
It is built in but sometimes since we have selinux enforcing it would act up. This is one off the things I fixed in 1.7 there is a viper fix app on 1.7 that works great. Just open the app apply fix and reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] atvspecialties:
Only issue I've found is when using the built in messaging app, if I try to attach a pic the app crashes & closes. Otherwise,loving the ROM & thanks for your hard work.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
So what's up, have things smoothed out? The only place I notice any lag is in the tw settings and it's just for a sec. Prolly because it's so heavily modified. I will try to get a log and see though... Anyway just want to know if anybody has anything to report. I see it's been downloaded quite a bit. I am wanting to merge the new stuff and completely redo the rom for a final release, with continued support and updates so any feedback would be appreciated.. also before you ask the i9295 port is still in the works but I need some help it's difficult for me as I don't have the device. I need to sit down with Jason and talk because I don't understand why we are having the issues we are. Anyway thank you all for the continued testing and I will report back as soon as I get some time to discuss this with jason.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
Wow thanks bro, I verified the bug and will start the hunt. That's a new one.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
Do you have the USA varient, I537? If so this rom is built straight from oc7 so the stock one should work fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] HTC55555:
Hello just found this!

Been very comfortable w/ Muniz_ri I537_oc7_stock_rooted_rom which is fantastic but now I'm looking for something a little different to try.

I'm rooted w superSU v2 76 and FF v.52

Read all the posts to date.

So I use FF to flash, do not clear anything and I should be fine correct?

Love to have a look at this :)

Thank you so much, the rom is smooth as butter and super fast. Didn't know my battery life could be this amazing either!

I appreciate all your hard work!

:good:
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
Hey bro, sorry it took me so long to get back to ya, if you are running Muniz ris builds all you need to do is flash the rom. Don't wipe anything in ff and make sure as always to backup your files.

Hello,

or something in this topic is moved forward?
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] as66613666sa@gmail.com:
no!

theme dead , the author has no desire tired poor thing

I have already answered how to build a firmware for I9295

links removed! I ran the firmware for I9295 but with error SystemUI

the author is silent, I spat on the matter (
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
LOL, I never seen such ignorance.. i never stated i would port to your device. I SAID I WOULD TRY... I made this for the people on the i537 who have no other option. The rom is not dead their will be updates for the i537. But you sir have made my mind up no more i9295 tests. Go troll your own forums.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
Sorry buddy, but there will be no more i9295 tests or roms. I am not familiar with porting and am done trying... I simply do not have the time... Some people seem to think I get paid for this or in some way owe them something. I am just sharing the countless hours of work I put into the I537 and I will continue to do so for the people that appreciate it. Again I am sorry to you and the others on the i9295 but that last post (not you) just made me not want to even try.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
No.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] as66613666sa@gmail.com:
You did not understand me!

I beg your pardon I do not speak English

this complicates our conversation

you need not be removed test firmware- I9295

I suggested to solve the problem
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
Well sir the way your message translates was rude. I have trouble believing that you did not totally disrespect me.. You said I quote" I spat on this " , and " the author has no desire tired poor thing" , "I have already answered how to build a firmware for i9295" What is getting lost is translation? What have you shown me? It is very true that I am very busy with work. I give you that. But I have went out of my way to learn how to port (which I am entirely new to) I even have a good friend to help me, in time (@JasonRR). I am not going to persistently bother another dev who already has a rom for your device on how to get mine to work on the i9295. I would love to share with you but it is just going to take time or some help.. I am a regular guy like you. I spend the majority of my free time developing and making the best of what we have to work with.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] as66613666sa@gmail.com:
all that you thought it rough I was talking about myself ;)

tired of waiting when this issue will be solved :(

Sorry one more time sorry .
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
My friend I will do my best to get it to you. I have just now gotten to a stable state for the I537. So just give me some time. I have to work seriously 7 days a week right now. But that is coming to an end soon and I will have much more time. I have big plans for the future, believe that.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] ournewhero:
thanks a ton for your hard work, Rick1684. i've been running this for about a week and a half now, with great success.

a couple things, though:

1. some of the color changes in the sick control panel (like notification text color) don't seem to change when i click on them. turns out that after a soft reboot the colors do change and are updated in the control panel, so no big deal.

2. i can't seem to figure out where to change the text (or background) color for the time picker. it shows as black on black for me (or close enough to appear that way). if i click on it, depending on the app, it will highlight it. i'm hoping the color change is in the control panel somewhere and i'm just missing it. if so, could you send me in the right direction?

3. is there a way to change the default contact photo in the dialer? my girlfriend gives me dirty looks when she looks over and sees that i'm talking to a half-naked woman :)

thanks again for a stellar rom for a device i had finally come to accept would never get custom roms
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
Thanks for the kind words. I also have noticed the same issues the past month i have been using the rom as a daily driver and a quick fix for the 3 issue is to go into rom control and choose a different image for the in call bg. There are several to choose from. I have a list of little things to work on and I will make the default a different image. Thanks I never thought about that. Also noticed the time picker so I will get that soon. For the colors not changing instantly for some things in rom control I know, they require the sys ui to be restarted. So upon rebooting the colors will show, I am working on this.. It requires adding setting observers in the code to make the changes instant. Another way to remedy this I found is an xposed module called neopowermenu it will change out the standard power menu and give you the option to add restart system ui in the power menu. Again thanks and i appreciate the bug reporting
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] MrAddictedGamer000:
Is it still working?

I'm getting mixed comments and feelings from this post, I see the ROM was constructed so long ago but it also looks sick as hell s the title states. Is it still okay to download for the i537 or whatever? I'm on 5.0.1 or 5.1.1 or something for the s4 active.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] ournewhero:
yes, it's okay to download for the i537. i've been using it as my daily driver for a few weeks now, and (except for a few minor things listed a few posts above) am very happy with it.

---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

seriously????

i swear i went through those settings a ton of times and never saw that until you said it was there :silly:

oh well. thanks for pointing that one out for me. i was afraid i was going to have to poke my nose into system apk files to dig out the image and change it. this was just a tiny bit easier :)

really appreciate your help and awesome rom
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
Although the rom is 5.01 and was created a while ago, this is built on the latest stock firmware for the i537. If you have a i9295 international model you have more options due to the unlocked bootloader. There are still new features in the works and I keep the rom updated. I will have an update coming soon, working on the brightness slider color control mod now.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] ederekun:
I am still waiting for the version for i9295... I suggest you add a add-on which you can choose apps to remove including calendars etc. Like stockyrom... Which will make the rom much smoother... I tried stockyrom without samsung and misc bloats and apps... And it was so smooth... But still i moved to cm13 because of design and themes...
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] ederekun:
I think I will try to do an experiment, I will try to use masterpatch and kernel by JASONRR later...

[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
Keep me posted, if you get it working on i9295 I have an update coming soon with several new mods. Putting the finishing touches on 1.8 for i537 .

I also have another masterpatch that Jason gave me to try let me know if you need it.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Devo7v:
I already talked to this guy. It's not going to work because he was only trying to modify phone model at the Android OS level. Even though the phone would think that it was an i9295, you wouldn't be able to flash any i9295 firmware because the bootloader is still locked and the bootloader checks are still in place. The only hope for the i537 is that somebody figures out how to unlock the bootloader.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
Hey my XDA bros, I am putting together a pretty big update for 1.8. There are many updates and new features coming. For example..

Xposed v86

Material Xposed installer

Full pull down color control

Ongoing notifications are now removable by toggle

New performance management

Updated and redeodexed, zip alignment.

Several new things to play with in rom control.

It's coming along nicely and I will upload as soon as it's been tested. Thank you guys for all the support and as for the i9295 port, I will make another attempt for you guys. It's something I would like to learn so we will try again here soon.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] ournewhero:
sweet! looking forward to the update.

and on a side note, keep in mind that the i9295 people have a ton of roms, and the i537 folks don't, so don't let them whine at you too much :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] elpondo:
First I must say thanks for the ROM, Mostly due to the fact that it comes with xposed ad the frame work already installed, I was having a very much hell of a time to get it on the available stock roms...

PLEASE menu issues: I dont know if anyone else experiencing this, but some of my apps menu are black or grey yes but the text is also the same color or white on gray so I cannot see anything.. is there a fix or is this an issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Twinpop0:
Can I get root on my S4 active can you help
[Galaxy S 4 Active Android Development] Rick1684:
It's a known issue, if you can tell what app is bugging you I will try to make a fix for you. I am about to make one for another user for a Pokémon GPS app. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to fix the issue. It's do to the blackout theming in the framework.

Originally I wanted an unthemed version too, but my work schedule is preventing that atm. I'm thinking now about an s6 port of 5.0.2 like Jason's rom as a base and adding the rom control and mods. Then having the black theme optional through aroma.. So we will see. I'm thinking seriously about changing jobs as I work 11 days straight then have a three day weekend over and again until the end of the year. Plus most shifts are 10-12 hours.. Very little time these days.
