Anyone running the REVOLT ROM? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Just wondering if anyone knew that there was even a Revolt ROM for the VZW S4?
Been running Eclipse as my daily driver since I got my S4 back in July, but I just discovered the Revolt ROM and may have a new DD. TONS of customizations, pie controls, halo, 4.3, the works! I couldn't find a thread for is in the development section so I thought I'd see if anyone here knew it was even available for the VZW S4, because it in fact, is.
Here's the video review from The Droid Effect that made me look into Revolt:
http://thedroideffect.com/revolt-rom-review-the-new-4-3-aio-rom-king/
Here's the thread for the 4.2.2 version for the other S4's so you can kind of see the full specs (Don't download from there!):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2300817
Here's the DOWNLOAD page for the VZW S4:
http://revolt.iminisoft.org/app/verizon-samsung-galaxy-s4/
The only one I can seem to get working is the 4.3 based ROM under Stable Builds > Alpha.

Is this able to be installed with SS or is this a MDK based rom?

I'm guessing if its a 4.3 ROM that it isn't going to work with safestrap.Most 4.3 are still mdk

Just a nice work around for us unfortunate ME7 people that allows us to run custom Roms as there is no bootloader bypass for the ME7 kernel.

[IDEA] Port international firmware/ROM's to Verizon Note 2?

Considering the similarities between the domestic variants of the Note 2 and their international counterparts, would anyone be willing to test some of the success that the folks over in the AT&T forum have had with porting the international N7100/N7105 firmware/ROM's over to the Verizon Note 2
Check out these two threads over in the AT&T forum and see what you all think:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016575
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018411
The basic gist of the procedure is to use a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP to flash a stock N7100/N7105 firmware, and then flash your carrier specific modem/kernel.
Why would anyone want to do this? Well, for starters, you would benefit from built-in stock-supported tethering, and a few other features that carriers disable (YMMV). But mainly this means that the domestic versions of the Note 2 can benefit from the development of the international versions! So, when the latest version of Android comes out for the rest of the world, we aren't stuck here waiting for our carrier to catch up to everyone else...
So what do you all think? Anyone willing to try?
ba-ba-ba-BUMP.
What about integrating carrier specific apps? The Verizon version has a data usage app that works without logging into my Verizon.
I do believe that is what scrosler was doing here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055218 and he said this in the features " Verizon Patch files in a flashable zip can be found http://www.cleanroms.com/downloads/Note2/VZW Patch for 7105 Base.zip This will let the ROM think you are a VZW ROM! Good for the Play Store and APN settings! " But.... He did say he was unsure if it works on other roms in his second post. You possibly could try it. : )
Thanks. . But I'm already using his VZW rom

You risk a soft brick. Just make a nandroid backup first and you'll be fine.

Just make sure you don't flash modems and keep a stock kernel on hand
Yeah since the hardware is nearly identical I think the most you would risk is a soft brick. The 7100 lacks LTE though so I'm not sureif you would have data on one of those roms. Tell us how it goes if you go through with it.

Neither of you last statements are correct. The lack of development is coming from a yet to be cracked ME7 boot loader as well as a just recently released MI1 update. If you are on MDK kernel still there are quite a few roms out there for your enjoyment.

Eclipse TW edition. It's so good that no one comments on the thread... no bugs.
Plus the pile of AOSP-based usual suspects.
Does this need to be a thread? Go look through the forums, and try whatever you think will work best for you and try them out. If you think the development is dead then don't get the S4 or sell it for something else. What are you looking for? someone to tell you that it's not dead, you should keep your phone, better things are coming? If your satisfied with the phone and what you have on their great, if not, do whatever you feel.
The ME7 issue killed a lot of development, there's no denying it. Just look at the development forums of an S4 from a different carrier.
Although the few ROM's that are available for this device are real quality. Really we should all stop debating about it and start cooking our own ROM's.

It's you. There's a lot of development for the S4. We don't need 10 Roms that are all the basically the same. We have CM, touchwiz with plenty of tweaks, AOSP, and Google edition. Is there something I am missing?

Or you could always try out one of the AOSP Kitkat ROMs, available in the original development section. They're pretty darn stable, and can certainly be used as DDs.

If you read this post:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601067, the 4.4.2 leak is for the international S4 ONLY, not any of the North American variants yet.
Your S4 is probably soft-bricked right now, which is nobody's fault but your own.

Sounds quite reasonable.
Following Samsung OTA's for a long time across 3 phones and almost 6 years.. seems they connect some of the major OTAs to release of new product. Since the S5 is getting close could it be tied to that event? Betting Verizon's S5 won't be first on the release list for US carriers either.
OTA of 4.4 for the S4 prior to the S5 release just doesn't sound like a starter. It would be a nice surprise though....

Well I'm not 100% on flashing a phone to page plus. All I can say is maybe update your recovery to Philz latest and look for a rom that allows you to put Page Plus apns in. But if you're using Philz.. you're still on MDK and I'd have to guess someone here can show you how to get it going.
Also sounds like the kernel your trying to run isn't Loki'd. So look into that.

I'd say then update your Philz then try again. There's really no reason you shouldn't be able to flash whatever Verizon rom and be good.

Questions about s4 root and bootloader. Coming from an s3.

I've read a little bit but I just want to be sure. The s3 was rooted and I believe something was leaked allowing for an unlocked bootloader. I am getting an s4 today from a friend so I was hoping someone can give me a quick overview of where this phone stands.
Mainly I am looked for info on any builds or anything like that I should be careful with. Can every build be rooted and what's going on with the bootloader? Like I said I am pretty familiar with everything I just need a summary of sorts explaining what I should know about this phone coming from the s3. Thanks.

Any Verizon S4 on a build after MDK does NOT have a bootloader exploit ( Loki )
You can root and install SafeStrap on any build up to MK2.
NC5 (Kit Kat) can be partially downgraded to MK2 though so that you can root and use SafeStrap. I'll get you a useful link..

Bootloader (Generally identical to Build) is what matters.
That is NC5, so you'll be able to do a partial downgrade to MK2, root, and return to NC5 if you want root. No non-TouchWiz roms.
Ahhh really? That's usually all I ran on my s3. I understand the bootloader isn't unlocked but I thought aosp ROMS were still possible with some kind of work around? I thought no bootloader unlock just meant no custom kernels. I remember it being like that back in the droid x days lol
So either way what are best options..revert back to the earlier build..root..then how do I get back to the newer build again to flash

There is no working AOSP for any Verizon S4 after *MDK. You're correct that it just means no custom kernels, but nobody has gotten a fully working AOSP to run under the stock kernels.

You can tell it's not GPE by how horrifically ugly it is, and the TouchWiz thing on the left side of the screen.

KOT49H is Samsung's official build prefix for all Kitkat for our S4 (incl GPE and normal TW).
I agree though, no harm using the app to make sure.

Yea I'm assuming its all stock..he stopped rooting his phones a while ago. So essentially I have root and touch whiz Roms. Are the touch whiz Roms for this phone as customizable as if the bootloader was unlocked? If that's even related lol..on my s3 I've been running MOAR which is actually awesome.
Thanks for all the help..one more question..what's this whole safestrap thing?

info in safestrap thread...its a recovery for those who have a locked bootloader so you can run compatible custom roms
Been reading but haven't found a "clear" path..seems there are different options for going back to the old bulid..and then rooting and getting back to NC5..
A little confused on the order of everything regarding safestrap and rooting

If you want root, that's your only option. Partial downgrade to MK2, root, safestrap 3.72, and flash a pre-rooted NC5 in safestrap.
