I'm not sure of the mechanics involved in building a ROM like this, however I was under the assumption that now that we had Odin .tars and such that we could make a odexed/deodexed version that could be flashed via recovery. Assuming this is true, is anyone working on one, or know of anyone working on one? Assuming it's not yet possible, why?
I'm on ME7 with SS, and I've heard good things about MJ7, but won't upgrade for fear of losing ROMs. Anyone else interested in this or have any information?

Yes it's being worked on. Samsung and Verizon are making this increasingly difficult with each update and there are problems with data and wifi. I'm sure a flashable rom is coming...... Hopefully soon.

I see. When you say they are makk g it increasingly more difficult, does that mean they are actively trying to keep people from aftermarket firmware?
Also, I'm assuming you are in contact with the people working on these ROMs? Are things looking likely to be resolved with the data/WiFi issues, or is that yet to be determined?

Look at the ECHOE port from AT&T... I was able to flash it and get everything, except outgoing SMS/MMS, working perfectly... but no outgoing texting made me go back to Hyperdrive 10... the build prop srill causes the device name and such to show up as if it were the AT&T variant of the S4, but EVERYTHING was awesome (except texts)...
That said, I am on MDK with TWRP recovery... so it is not an option for everyone.
If one of the devs wants to get texts fully working, I would likely run it as my daily driver.

You might try reflashing the ROM and see if that helps. Also go into more under Wireless and Networks then Mobile Networks and make sure LTE/CDMA/EvDo is the selected network.

Ok, but do you think you can try it? I don't have a Note 2 and I've been using my dad's but he doesn't like switching ROMs. Also, WiFi still works but when I was compiling somehow the Camera app didn't make it in there.

Yeah, no. I'm not trying to be rude but I don't touch other people builds unless I know they wont brick my phone or I know the dev and they have a history on XDA and I really really trust them. I will be a guinea pig for recognized devs. I'm not a guinea pig for just anyone though. Don't take that the wrong way, I'm sure you're trying hard to make a good build but I don't like risking my phone that i paid full price for.
You may also want to make sure you included all the correct git repositories and the device repositories.

Just because it boots doesn't mean that you have them all. If there isn't any data whatsoever then it sounds like you are missing something which could possibly be a key repository for data and cell service. Hell Ubuntu Touch was running and booting perfectly without cell service. While that is what we use our phones for that isn't a necessary part to make the ROM boot, just to make it a DD.

I would install custom recovery. Then flash a ROM with ME7 base. That'll get rid of the notification and put you on the latest build with a bunch of tweaks.

Updating to official ME7 through Verizon is just such a permanent decision. Are you absolutely sure you don't want to flash ROMs, kernels, mods, etc in the future? Why close that door?

I'm trading this phone to my brother in law who has no clue about rooting. I'm using his upgrade to get the Note 3
So yeah. Otherwise I'd not be unrooted and getting the newest update.

What is the outlook for a a stock/rooted flashable VRUEMJ7 rom for Loki'd people. Nothing custom just stock/rooted.
Based on what I read today it's getting pretty close. There still is no full tar file being provided by Samsung or verizon so things are being pieced together. Once the full tar is available I don't think it will take too long.

Bumping this to see if anyone knows of a dev working on a stock/rooted rom for those with Loki. Now that the official. tar is out I assume someone has started to tackle it. Thanks in advance to all the devs for the work they do. Killer stuff.

I know Nitro was working on it and has a mostly functional 4.3 rom but data and wifi do not work. I really don't know much about this but from what I've read the kernel has added security built in and I'm not sure a work around has been found. I am "patiently" waiting for a mj7 rom as well.

Anyone hear of any potential updates to a Stock/Rooted VRUEMJ7 rom for MDK/Loki'd peeps? Just bumping to see if anyone has heard of status, not requesting ETA as I know better than to go there.
Thanks!
I flashed one of the roms and everything worked on it but data and calls/sms. Not sure if that's modem wise or not but I couldn't find one on here anywhere or Google to try it out. You just flash the rom and a sprint kernel after and it should boot I used the t mobile rom vision x. Any ideas to get them working?

essentially what it sounds like you are doing is a basic porting of roms. from tmobile to sprint. theres a few threads on it. problem is MMS wont work or something. i dont remember what exactly the problem was even after its ported over.
Yeah I don't no how to port I'll have to look into it. I just figured I would try and see if it would even boot since we have so little roms

I've been away a while. If I'm understanding correctly I can one click route my MK2 and install Samsung based ROMs without a custom recovery using mobile Odin. Can anyone please confirm it or correct me? If I'm right can you give me ideas what to look for in a ROM that will work with this method. Thanks and sorry if this has been asked. I did search but there wasn't much to look at in terms of direct solutions.

Personally, I've never heard of what you're describing. The only way I know of with MK2 is to root using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758.
After that, your only option for roms is Safestrap. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2441441. You will only be able to install TouchWiz 4.3 based roms. Make sure they're compatible with Safestrap before you install.
My advice would be to do a lot of research. This is a good place to start. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606501.
Good luck

This is the Verizon forum, not at&t. However I believe mobile odin is only useful for restoring the phone to a factory state without a computer, not flashing roms, yet you must be rooted. I could be wrong though.

Well as far as I know Odin is just for flashing the firmwares and a custom recovery is for flashing ROMs. Maybe there is an exception, but I don't think so

Ok looking like I misunderstood then. Thanks for the clarification. I don't think I trust the idea of the safestrap. I know it's safer, but I have been flashing ROMs for years and the recovery method makes me warm and tingly. I don't think they'll ever crack into the ability to flash the way we're all used to. For every genius we have that's capable of figuring it out, Samsung has 10 that can stop it. I pray they get it, but my hopes are fading.

safestrap has been around for years for other phones and recently hashcode ported to the S4 last fall. I have used it since that time with zero issues and have been running several ROMs at a time to evaluate, with again no issues with safestrap. Not sure why you wouldn't "trust it".....as it gives all us non-MDK owners ability to run something else than just stock.

Exactly, I've been hammering away on Safestrap since my RAZR and it's really safe just like the name implies. Granted I could flash AOSP on the razr, but my guess is at some point kexec will come around for the S4 as well. Too many really smart people working on that project for it to fail in my opinion.
Anyways.... For now Safestrap is awesome, and happy to have it.
