Please Verify?
Has anyone verified this zip works? Please post if you have verified... specifically what version of SS you are on, and what ROM you are using
Thanks

I'm using Safestrap, Hyperdrive and this module. Wifi works know and it didn't before. I would like to report that me and at least one other are having problems with screen rotation. It works in camera but not in any other app. People with different builds seem to not have this problem.
Rotation is working only in the Samsung camera, tested other samsung apps as well. Attached some logs of toggling the rotation on/off and trying to rotate the screen if it helps.
Is there a fix for the screen rotation problem?
Do I just flash this like any other kernel?
Thanks.

Safestrap doesn't work on MJ7, so stay with an earlier build if you want to get it to work.
There are people building ROMs based on 4.3, so look around and hang in there. They'll become available.
So is there a fix for the broken rotation?

Users running roms on phones with baseband M1I with safestrap and it's current module are having issues with things such as screen rotation and air gestures. It has been discussed in the hyperdrive thread thoroughly as I originally thought it may have to do with that rom. check out that thread and also post here if you are also having these issues.

its because the roms need to be remade with the mi1 base

After I took the MI1 update I installed Hyperdrive 10 with the MI1 kernel module. The only problems I was having (that I know of) were no Auto Rotation and no Air Gestures.
Without the MI1 module or with the ME7 module everything except WiFi worked.
Ok so we use the me7 modules that are related to screen rotation and air gestures and use the stock MI1 modules for the rest

In theory, yeah that sounds right.
Is it possible to flash both the ME7 and MI1 modules so WiFi and screen rotation work or would that screw everything up?

I have the old modules and the new hyper drive rom give me till tomorrow I'll edit this post will my results. Got nothing to lose
Also had trouble with screen rotation =(
EDIT:
-Screen rotation still not working.
-Air view/motion working. Tested with internet gallery and music.
-WiFi calls texts all working.
Update?
Has anyone resolved this auto-rotation issue yet?
Did using separate modules work?
I have Hyperdrive RLS10 on my S4...
Flashed coming from MI1, and the flashed the MI1 modules...
Only thing I've found that doesn't work is auto-rotation (my air gestures and wifi actually DO work).

Oh well, it was worth a shot. I found an app called "Ultimate Rotation Control" where you can change the rotation manually from the notification bar pretty quickly, so I'll be doing that until a fix comes cause I don't want to stop using Hyperdrive.

Does anyone know if anyone is actively working on this issue or is it just something we are going to have to live with? The reason why I ask is because although safestrap is great to have to at least run a custom rom having the rom not fully work is sort of a draw back. I'm tempted to ODIN back to factory MI1 and then update to MJ7 and use the vroot method (although its not safe) just so I can have 4.3 and root. But I will hold off if I know there is at least some developer working on trying to get the modules working correctly. Please don't take this as complaining its just an inquiry. There are a lot of threads all commenting on the same problem but nothing is really being said if anyone is trying to resolve it or not.

New guy to S4 here. I've been ROMing for a few years, but always on Nexus phones. With no decent Nexus for VZW for a while, I got an S4 yesterday. I have no idea what it was out of the box, but on the way home in the car it apparently updated to MI1. At the time I didn't know that was bad.
I have it rooted fine, installed SS, and understand how SS works. Do I/we need special ROMs for SS? I tried 4.4 Gummy and CM10.2 nightly in rom-slot1 and the phone hung (battery pull needed) when booting slot1. I was hoping SS was just another recovery method that could use any ZIPs that would work with CWM or TWRP.

Offhand I'd say read the ss thread here and Dev thread...ss is a specific recovery platform that allows us to run certain Roms based off the tw kernel of stock me7....no support of custom kernel based Roms...so cm and asop based Roms are not supported.

I need a couple people running either MK2 or MJ7 with Safestrap installed to test if flashing the tether unlock zip below (MJ7 or MK2 depending on what build your on) also enables all toggles, including the Wifi Hotspot toggle. I flashed the MJ7 one since I'm on MJ7 and it worked but I want to confirm it works and hopefully someone on MK2 can confirm it works before I post it for everyone. Please respond and let me know if it works/doesn't and what if any errors were. Only try on VRUEMJ7 or VRUEMK2 roms/builds.

Just tried the MJ7 zip while running Foxhound SS on stock slot. I ran into a bootloop after wiping cache and davlik. Said it was trying to start an app that was already running and had to stop first then looped. Had to restore a nandroid. oh well.

This is because Foxhound uses a ML6 base so the framework-res.apk file is different. Sorry should have stated in the OP to only try on VRUEMJ7 or VRUEMK2 roms/builds. Ill edit it now, thanks for trying though and again sorry about the bootloop

I've been running Vision-X from the ATT S4 forums for a few days. It's based on XXUFNB9, which is one of the TW 4.4.2 OTA's for the International S4. It was running pretty well, and had no issues. I literally just flashed Goldeneye, which is also based on an international S4 OTA. I've had no issues and have noticed a slight speed increase.
Important note, after flashing Vision-x, I had to flash loki-doki to Loki the kernel or it would not boot. This is assuming you are on an MDK bootloder.
Good to know I forgot to look into the international ones. I usually stick to stay I see on our forums. Thanks for sharing though

Me too, but Verizon is taking too long to release a 4.4 base, so I figured why not look elsewhere.
I tried a couple different things yesterday with the same out come. First I restored to my original 4.2 stock rooted rom and had no volume so I went back to CM11. Later in the day I flashed Hyperdrive 4.3TW rom and had the same deal, no volume. Is there something special I need to do when coming from 4.4 AOSP to 4.2/4.3 TW rom to make the volume work?

I vaguely remember reading in one of the other carrier's S4 forum that no sound after flashing a rom is related to being on either the wrong bootloader, or wrong kernel. If you flashed Hyperdrive, it's safe to assume the kernel is correct. What bootloader are you on? Not sure this applies to the VZW S4. It may only apply to the TMobile, or other GSM variants.

Right now I'm running Goldeneye from the i9505 section. Loving it. You need to be on the MDK bootloader with a recovery installed. I'm using Philz Touch recovery. Flash the Goldeneye ROM, then flash a Loki-Doki. That should be it. Both are linked below.

From what i gathered he just flashed the rom + Loki Doki which Lokis the kernel that comes with that rom.
Since Verizon doesn't officially have 4.4 yet there aren't any 4.4 TW kernels for it yet . as far as i know.

Well not having done what you're doing now I have to admit I'm guessing...
You could try an APN app from the play store as long as you have WiFi now. There's one I've used that will get the Verizon apns and set them. Don't remember the name of it however.
Gigilie has compatibility packs I've been looking into over on one his Roms he ported over for our phones.. I'm not really sure what they include but I know people flashing i9505 Roms had something they would also flash to get everything going. Whether or not the apns are part of it again I'm not sure.
The other person on here didn't make mention of flashing anything but the Loki doki so I'm not 100% maybe he can chime in.

Those on MK2 With safe strap and want to get rid of Touch Wiz ( which I do -.-) Get the Illusion ROM for your Galaxy S4 (Verizon). That's all. Except the only bug/s is WiFi doesn't even if you try flashing the MK2 Module's. And those On AT&T, T-Mobile, Straight Talk, NET10... Etc using there Verizon Galaxy S4 will not get Data to work. I have Straight talk and tried everything to get Data to work. I've flashed all Carrier Roms (the AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and U.S. Cellular) together and see if that would help. Nope. But Messaging (just SMS) works and so does calls and Voice Mail (xD)
And if someone could extract this and try making another AOSP ROM that works with MK2 (or SafeStrap) and make CM11/10 to work, that would be excellent!

If you guys are on 4.2.2, it would make since if it was a gpe rom, as gpe was somehow compatible with 4.2.2 safestrap. If I remember correctly, someone said that the differences between the kernels was negligible and could boot with the tw kernel.
I would say its safe to assume that its actual AOSP seeing that it uses the CM kernel source (or at links to it on the OP), however, there are no accounts in the thread of the rom cook saying that it is AOSP, only other posters.
Haven't tried to download it yet, but I'm going to convince myself that you guys are just pulling a sick April fools prank.

Well so far it's AOSP ROM. It has pure android, the weight of the zip is so light and if. And yes, A Dev did say it wasn't compatible with any AOSP ROM's. But I found a ROM that works! I'll post some screen shots of the AOSP ROM. And if it says AT&T its because I have a Straight Talk Sim Card in it.
So far people are eager with this. If we can get more people's attention we can probably get Hashcode to see what's making this ROM work on AOSP

So far people are eager with this. If we can get more people's attention we can probably get Hashcode to see what's making this ROM work on AOSP

He he. Funny story... Um.... I tried flashing a CWM Recovery didn't work and it leads me to the Odin Flash screen. All I have is Safestrap 3.71
Is there another possible way?

I believe theres an app that does it.
To anyone wanting to do this, I did it and its not booting into the system. Idk if theres a very special case or what. In recovery it is saying I have the kot49h kernel. Until I boot, Im still assuming its an april fools prank

Well that happened to me as well. It wouldn't boot up to the system so I booted up to the actual Odin Flash and it said Volume Up=Continue and Volume Down=Cancel(Restart) and then I did the Volume down and it got into the system. Well I hope that helps!

Hey all. Just switched back to Droid after being with iPhone for a few years. I've rooted my s4 but don't believe I'm able to install custom roms based on the build. I've attached a screen of my about page. Any advice greatly appreciated.

With the MK2 build you can only use safestrap as your custom recovery and your limited on what custom roms you can use. I'm on the MK2 build as well and personally I like the stock rom with the tether mod.

Okay Buddy with the MK2 builld you can only use TW based roms no ASOP/Cyanogenmod.
1.) To root u must use saferoot here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758
2.) Then you must install Safestrap 3.71 Hashcode has a thread about ithere: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2441441
3.) After doing that you want to look on this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2630040
decarturbob has compiled a list of MK2 Safestrap Compatible roms.
Hope this helps buddy. Make sure you read the threads carefully and follow each step. My current fav roms are the TW(ASOP themed roms):fingers-crossed:
Thank you all for the help. Really appreciate it.
To add to my question, after rooting, running the stock ROM, can I turn off OTA updates? I keep getting an annoying notification to update.

Using Titanium Backup, you can "freeze" applications, which keeps them from running. The software update application is called SDM.
So, open Titanium, search for "SDM", the click on "Freeze!". It won't run any longer.

Thanks.
I have installed safestrap and downloaded the module for the MK2 build. It then says to flash the modules file..how do I do that if I cant boot into recovery mode? I assume this is why safestrap is telling me I'm not rooted.

You flash the modules file AFTER you flash a custom ROM into a ROM slot. How did you manage to flash into a ROM slot if you can't get into Safestrap recovery?
If installing Safestrap fails and tells you you're not rooted, then either you're not rooted, or you still have Knox enabled. You'll need to be rooted before you can do any of this, so start there. See the Saferoot thread.
