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?

You have to download and flash the kernel modules.zip that match the build of your phone. You can find them on page 1 of the Safestrap thread.

Hey, I remember something about a wifi fix for nc5 roms, and seeing as how Hyperdrive 16.1, which I installed, had not working wifi, I would like to get the zip for this. Can someone point me to the right modules to remedy this, or guide me to make this better, it is a great rom, but fixing this will make it oh so much better. Thanks.
Okay so I recently decided to to upgrade to the 4.4.2 KitKat root through this video http://youtu.be/AIRoQKTLeJQ and I was running the stock deodexed rom that was provided. I then looked up some compatible custom roms and came across several that were supposedly compatible with NC5 and Safestrap 3.72. However, on most of them (Echoe Rom, Bajarom, Phoenix Rom, etc) the wifi does not turn on even after rebooting. Bajarom it would work (it would take FOREVER to turn on though) until after I restored my nandroid backup (just data) from before I upgraded to 4.4.2 via the video. Then the wifi function would stop... Echoe Rom and Phoenix Rom both had a Galaxy S5 port that had S5 apps, themes, etc. These ones wouldn't have any network access at all. WiFi and 4G would not work. I would still have a signal so I could send texts and call people. I tried flashing modules and modems and NC5 fixes but nothing would work... Does anybody know how to fix this WiFi problem?? Or does anybody know of a good, clean, custom TouchWiz rom that has working wifi? This would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Did you flash modules after rom? That's the only way your wifi is going to work.
Check out giglies NC2 wifi fix and see if that helps: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23487008491963696
Yea I tried the modules and they didn't help. But thanks! I'll give this a shot.

Yea, I tried it last night. I was desperate and was on the verge of just reflashing the stock rom. Luckily that fixed worked, havent experienced any problems.

Stock rom, just rooted.
Is it safe to flash a custom rom like CM11? I upgraded my phone to 4.4.2 NC5 through ODIN, then did the Towel root and flashed Safestrap.
I dont think so.

Wait I thought you said you were on the verge of flashing the stock rom, implying that you're running a custom rom...

Yea. I was going to reflash it to get back the stock kernel. I just got the phone so I didnt have much info to lose and I was in a rush and could't find a solution in the kernel thread. I see people asking about losing wifi, but no one posts any solutions.

So the wifi fix worked but I'm still not getting a 4G signal and I can't make calls or send texts on Echoe Rom or Phoenix Rom. It says there's modules in that wifi fix and I even flashed separate modules but it didn't change anything. Do you know what I can do to fix this?

Sounds like maybe some issues with your APN settings.
Check this thread and see if they match what you have: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2734775

There's no option to change APN setting in those roms... I honestly don't even know where to begin trying to fix this anymore...
Modules Needed??
Does anybody have any idea how I would flash Echoe Rom with the S5 port to my phone with Safestrap 3.72. I have the NC5 bootloader and I'm wondering what modules I need to flash in order to have working wifi AND data/calling/service. When I flash Echoe Rom my baseband version changes to NC2... Does this change the modules I need to flash? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

You could try flashing that wifi fix, which will set your modem as NC2. Then flash the NC5 modem and you'll have the NC5 baseband and working wifi (this is what I do for Hyperdrive).

Hyperdrive is excellent. I Love it. The link and everything you will need to know can be found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301724 I have tried other ROM's also, Baja, GruesomeWolf, just to name a couple and I have found Hyperdrive to be the most stable.
I am looking for a good GPE Rom on safetrap 3.75 NC5. I have tried some roms but either wifi doesnt work, or apns dont stick, or both. Does anyone know a good AOSP/GPE rom that has both of those or am i just screwed and have to get a new phone? I am on Eclipse and its the closest I have atm to AOSP

You can't run pure AOSP ROMs on NC5. There is a way to get the GPE ROM to run, you can find the instructions here... .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2817708
Be sure to follow the instructions to the letter if you decide to flash. Echo is also pretty legit.
Havent Tried Echoe Rom Yet. Its Downloaded, Not Installed. I know about Gigilie's Ports and those are the ones where Wifi and Mobile Both dont work. And then when i go back to my eclipse rom slot, wifi doesnt work either so i gotta odin back. IDK what im doing wrong. Gonna try Echoe rom after I do a backup of eclipse with all my settings and important apps.

I pasted the wrong link in my previous post. I changed it though and it links to the GPE process somebody else discovered. You flash these https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358539843 after gigilies ports? I've flashed all of his ROMs and never had an issue when I flashed the modules before reboot.
Just flashed Chaos Rom and that. Get google keyboard has stopped working and no mobile or wifi. Guess im just with eclipse, Unless you can do something for me if you still have one gpe rom.
