I am a new user to the Verzion S4. I have the M1 model and use safestrap for my recovery.
I am looking for a rom that is not TW and more like CM or Pacrom that will work with safestrap. Can anybody help with this?

I've gone through the process of rooting my Verizon Galayx S4 ME7. I had no issues with rooting the phone.
Now I'm running into an issue. I can not get a recovery installed so that I can install Carbon ROM on my phone.
Can anyone help me?
With me7 you can only use safestrap and that isn't compatible with aosp ROMs yet.

Is there any ROM similar to Carbon you would recommend? Where can I find out how to do safestrap?
I have a rooted verizon gs4 running the 4.3 update and safe strap. If I install the pure google rom on a second rom slot will it brick my phone?

it won't boot man. only touchwiz 4.3 roms work with safestrap. tis the curse of having this awesome phone until the bootloader gets unlocked/bypassed.

Would hyper drive Work?
Hyperspace works great on my SCH-I545 running MK2 with Safestrap. Not much else will work with Safestrap. If you find yourself soft bricked, use the stock image that you flash with Odin. You'll find yourself unrooted; but you can easily root again with the install.bat found in the forums.
Also, Hyperdrive comes with several useful tweaks that not only speed up your device, but also make it look very nice.

yes, as long as you flash the correct one for safestrap and load kernel module afterwardf. Plenty of info in hyperdrive threads
Hey, I didn't find any similar threads specifically for the verizon S4, but my question is whether or not i will keep root access if I do a factory reset on my i-545 NC5 running Android 4.4.2 through safestrap, or if there is a better way to clear up some memory. I want to flash Hyperdrive RLS18 through safestrap, but there is too much saved directly to the phone to make a decently sized slot. Any ideas on the best way to wipe the entire phone except for root access, safestrap, and my 4.4.2 ROM?
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Bump, Any input?

To be more accurate, on SS 3.72 rom slots don't work, so not just HyperDrive but any KitKat TW rom.

Well it's almost stable for AT&T, Verizon isn't officially supported. The problem right now is that Hashcode, the sole developer/genius who created and maintains Safestrap is stopping support on the project on Monday, because he got an awesome new job to focus on (congrats Hash). He said he was looking for people to continue the work but I haven't seen anything on who those devs would be or if anyone could even qualify.
Hello there, xda! I've been having quite a few issues installing Cyanogenmod (and many other custom ROMs) onto my Gs4 and was wondering if someone might be able to walk me through the steps of installing the custom ROM on my specific device. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Verizon with Android 4.4.2 and NC5 as my baseband.

If you don't have the MDK bootloader with the Loki hack, you cannot run CM and other AOSP based roms. There is a ROM however that's safe strap compatible

Thank you for that suggestion! But do you know if it's possible to downgrade from NC5 to MDK or earlier versions? I would rather do that than use safestrap, honestly.

Nope. Not possible at all. Your only option is Safestrap.

I have installed the Safestrap 3.7.5 on my s4, yet i can not install the cm 12.1.
It does not matter how many times i have tried, i can not succeed.
It always ends up getting into stock recovery.
Please, show me whether i can have the custom rom installed.
Many thanks.

If my memory serves me correct, you cannot install CM/AOSP based ROMs with SafeStrap.

oops. thank you.
Anyway, is there any installable custom Rom, or any way to get these custom Rom installed?
If possible, do help me.
Thanks a lot.
yep

Thank you very much. i do appreciate it
there's also eclipse and kitpop if you want more of a stock android look and feel
Dev work on Eclpise has been stopped with no sign of it starting up again.
npJohnson is busy with the bootloader stuff, so there IS activity with kitpop, but very little. You want him to work on the bootloader, because then you can get cm 12.1 and whatnot.
That said, bot are rock solid ROMs with good battery life from my experience.
