So I just moved from my iphone to a Samsung Galaxy S4 and I want to run Hyperdrive ROM but beforr I dive into my first root snd all I have some questions. If any of you can answer any or all of these that would be greatly appreciated. Ive spent a ton of time in here and other places reading up on all of this but want to clarify some stuff.
So I'm on ME7 so I'll root and then install safestrap. Then ill install Hyperdrive via safestrap. My questions are as follows:
1. Will this have any impact on my stock ROM or settings? Specifically will it impact my exchange email? Main reason I ask is my work has mandated that I have a pin for the lockscreen. So will that be impacted on my stock ROM or Hyperdrive?
2. Will I have any issues reverting back to factory settings if I need to? Would I just delete safestrap and take the OTA? When I do this will my stock ROM remain as is?
3. Lastly will any of this have any impact on any downloaded apps? I haven't gotten many yet, mainly just curious?
Again thank you for any help you have and also for any other adviser or insight I might not have thought about.

By "pin for your lockscreen" do you mean your device will be encrypted? If so, I don't think you'll be able to use Safestrap.
Yeah I read that somewhere, but when I go to Security, "Encrypt device" is an option so it appears as though it's not encrypted, our IT policy just requires as password/PIN to unlock the device. Correct me if I am misunderstanding this though.
I read in an early version of the ss thread that ss won't work with encryption enabled. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Is "Encryption" the same thing as having a PIN required to unlock the device? Like I said, the main reason I thought that was a different thing with Safestrap is because under "Security" there are options to encrypt device and encrypt SD card, neither of which seem to be done on my phone. But I'm extremely new to all of this and only been reading around here for a week or so.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but no... Having a basic pin as you're lockscreen isn't the same thing as encrypting the device.
Just a simple lockscreen option.
I had that very setup on my ME7 S4 running SafeStrap. Not a problem

Not Sure, but i can check it out, thanks for the heads up!
I have a question on something I don't fully understand.
I had RL7 for one night and LOVED it - until it rebooted and soft-bricked.
I found my way back out of that and flashed RLS8 and have it completely set up exactly perfect, however, random apps make my phone quit responding and some will error and say the app has crashed and needs to close.
So I started looking and the very first thing I saw was RLS8.1 is now out, checked the changelog and it looks like it fixes a bunch of issues, some of which I had been experiencing.
One thing that I just noticed though, is that it's built on ME7. I just checked and double-checked my About, and RLS8 is clearly on MDK.
So my question is really straightforward: If I flash to RLS8.1 which is built on ME7, is there a way back to any MDK ROM afterwards?
I'm not about to take a ROM in the ME7 line if it means that I will lose the recovery I currently use (TWRP 2.5) - and especially if there's no way back from ME7 to MDK.
Please clarify for me!
Thank you sbreen, for all the work you've done on this ROM - this is the first ROM I've put on my S4 since I got it - I did nothing more than root the day I purchased it a couple months ago waiting for something like Hyperdrive offers, and I have to say that so far, I've been impressed with it's speed and customization!
Thanks again!

If you want to you can flash to an MDK based Rom after flashing Hyperdrive. The thing to be concerned about when talking about ME7 is not the Rom per say but the bootloader lock out that the OTA has. Flashing a Rom (especially pre-rooted ad 99. 9% are if not 100) does not touch your bootloader so there is no worry about losing custom recovery or root flashing an ME7 based Rom like RLS8

I think I am about as new as they come when it comes to rooting or modifying a phone. Perhaps I shouldn't do anything. I will do what is safe, which is to read and then read some more.
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 with a mk2 build. I just wanted to check with the forum to see if I am on the right track.
First - I have enabled developer options and USB debugging. I download Fies and I think I have downloaded recent USB drivers. This is where I have stopped.
Second - I download safe root (not sure where) and root the phone.
Third - I would download safestrap for mk2. I think this would allow me to actually change factory settings.
It is my understanding that removing bloat ware or making simple changes can brick the phone so I am trying to see why you would undertake this entire endeavor.
Then there is Odin. I need to read up on this topic. I have no clue what purpose it serves.
Keeping in mind I have and will do nothing other than enable developer options, am I on the right track in terms of research?
Thanks in advance.

No your good to go with that battery. After you root with saferoot you're going to want to install SafeStrap, that is if you want to install any ROMs , there's a list of SafeStrap compatible ROMs I'll get you.

As far as "trying to see why you would undertake this entire endeavor", well, that's an interesting question.
Rooting entails risk. You may ruin your phone if something goes wrong. The more that you do that takes advantage of being rooted, the more likely that something could go wrong. You use Odin to re-flash known good software to recover when an Oops happens.
So, you need to decide why you want to root. I'd say that most people root since it allows them the ability to install custom ROMs. Some do it to have the ability to remove unnecessary software ("bloat") from their phones. Some do it because it lets them back everything up and recover in the case of a problem.
If you don't want to customize, and are satisfied with the factory-included set of software, then there's little reason to root. Only you can decide if the abilities that rooting gives you are worthwhile or not.
I run a rooted, OEM stock phone, mostly because I'm re-flashing it a lot to test rooting software. Putting a lot of effort into customizing a custom ROM when you're re-flashing OEM every few days is not fun, so I stay stock. I ran hyperdrive using Safestrap for a while, however.
The phone is rooted to allow Titanium Backup to backup and restore for the most part. I've also frozen a couple of huge apps that want to push updates (NFL Mobile, for example.) Other than that, I could probably live without being rooted, but it would be frustrating.
Thank you for your reply.
I want to root in order to get rid of all the bloat ware.
The more I read, however, the more intrigued I have become with custom roms. That venture is not in the near future.
My immediate concern is that I have read if you freeze or delete some bloat ware programs, an update can brick your phone.
My phone will update without my permission or knowledge so I am bit weary. If I am incorrect about the bloat ware/brick issue please let me know.
Regardless - Take care and thanks to all.

If you freeze applications, it won't brick after an OTA - the OTA will simply fail (at least on a Verizon phone). The update checks to verify that all of the files being updated are there and not tampered with before it starts updating.
I have noticed everyone is running MJ7. If memory serves me correct, the one exception with changing build is that you can run MJ7 over MK2 (my phone).

Hey I ported this over to the S4, I know the original dev and we decided we'd try to port this over. I have it working on my MJ7 S4 with Safestrap (I installed it fine on both stock slot and rom slot). Its aroma'd and I need to confirm it flashes for other safestrap S4 users before I port all the mods.
It should work fine without issues, its worth noting that initially there maybe some android.phone fc's but after a minute or two it will return to normal and also that this rom will work on both MK2 and MJ7 but if you're on MJ7 and don't flash the MJ7 modules afterwards you wont be able to use wifi or tethering. Any feedback would helpful, and you can do that via PM or posting here if you'd like.
Rom building isnt my forte but i do know what im doing. At this point this is basically a stock rom with the exception of having a 4in1 reboot menu and tethering built in its also themed. The apps and addons in the aroma options should work though. I havent added the toggles yet or added support for loki'd phones yet but will eventually.

I wouldn't mind at all, but you might lol you see there's a disclaimer in the aroma installer, and as I was quite annoyed at some questions in the q&a on the day I made this I edited the disclaimer. At the beginning in all caps I wrote something to the extent of:
GOOGLE HOW TO INSTALL A BLANKING ROM AND DONT BE A BLANKING --TARD ABOUT IT EITHER AND IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS BLANKING GOOGLE THEM FIRST JESUS BLANKING CHRIST!
Then the agree box says something like:
( x ) I agree to google my problems first and not be an idiot about installing roms
Of course ill edit all of this out when I make a public stable build but I forgot to before pushing this test build out lol, so its up to you about the video
Edit: Just so everyones clear, "blanking" is a euphemism for my use of the F-word with an "ing" suffix
Surge... I like your sense of humor, there needs to be more of that on here if you ask me. I think you should leave the disclaimer.

Also anyone on MJ7 im really curious if it works for you guys without a hitch. A few months ago I had reason to believe that mk2 changed something In the ramdisk, but I couldn't gather enough info at that time.

Hey I ported this over to the S4, I know the original dev and we decided we'd try to port this over. I have it working on my MJ7 S4 with Safestrap (I installed it fine on both stock slot and rom slot). Its aroma'd and I need to confirm it flashes for other safestrap S4 users before I port all the mods.
It should work fine without issues, its worth noting that initially there maybe some android.phone fc's but after a minute or two it will return to normal and also that this rom will work on both MK2 and MJ7 but if you're on MJ7 and don't flash the MJ7 modules afterwards you wont be able to use wifi or tethering. Any feedback would helpful, and you can do that via PM or posting here if you'd like.
Rom building isnt my forte but i do know what im doing. At this point this is basically a stock rom with the exception of having a 4in1 reboot menu and tethering built in its also themed. The apps and addons in the aroma options should work though. I havent added the toggles yet or added support for loki'd phones yet but will eventually.
Thanks

Hey Im trying to use this on my Samsung Galaxy S21 5G but I'm having issues with it please help sir thank you hurry please I'm patiently waiting. Etaplz?
I'm having a serious issue with my Google Apps recently. My stock rom updated over OTA so I had to re-root/reinstall CM11, and when I was installing Google Apps it failed a few times and then worked.
The problem I'm having is that Android Device Manager will be very inaccurate (up to 2,400 meters), and sometimes won't find the device at all. When I am running my stock rom the ADM finds the device very accurately (<10 meters).
I just re-flashed/reinstalled everything and I'm still getting the same issue. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Well, depending on how much time you have on your hands, and everything is backed up. You could use mattlgrof's utility to flash your firmware back to stock, reroot, dont accept OTA, then freeze the OTAupdater with an app like Titanuim backup so you don't get/have to worry about accidently accepting the OTA. And you wouldn't be bothered with the notifications if you use the stock ROM This works even better if CM11 is your daily driver, and you don't really use stock. I assume you are on BMM? If you are on safestrap, you can flash the stock slot with CM11.
If you still have the problem, you will at least know it wasn't the OTA.
So you think the problem would be fixed if I simply flashed CM on my stock slot? I'm pretty sure it was the OTA that screwed everything up. I am on safestrap.

Make a backup and try it. Custom ROM's don't recieve OTA's so... If you flash right now, and the problem persists, THEN use Mattlgrof's utility and blah blah blah, so didn't recieve the OTA, and try then. As long as you used safestrap correctly, the only thing you can lose is time.
If i recovered my stock slot to the point BEFORE i received the OTA, would that undo all the OTA changes that screwed up my phone?
My assumptions would be yes if you had one. At that point, me personally, after verifying OTA wasnt there, I would go back to safestrap and reflash cm11 and gapps. I don't know what difference it would make. I personally am always hinky about dirty flashes and such, so if I think one thing might be affecting something else I wipe and replace both. So I don't upgrade ROMs and kernels much... A lot of time setting everything back up

I would say just do a full clean class of cm11 and gapps maybe unless you just did when you flashed cm11 the last time. I think if you have cm11 and root and safestrap recovery you are good. The stock does not matter any more.

The one thing about avast is it uses root. Idk about gotya can you let me know.
Out of curiosity, are you guys using xprivacy? If so, have you checked to make sure it isn't manipulating GPS for those apps?

No, it is strictly a security app, so permissions for camera, messaging, and GPS. *edit* and gmail account

So I recovered my pre-ota phone and installed CM11 on my slot 1 again. No problem installing gapps, however the android device manager is still having problems communicating with my device. I will try using Avast for now.

Curious, what is the benefit of a root access security apk if you keep debugging off when not using it?
Gotya is imbedded in to the screenlock and standalone so it doesn't require internet access for a server. You can have it take pictures on a failed login, which it will send as well as GPS coordinates of where it took place to your email. You are able to send sms commands to ask it where it is, have it call you, start an alarm if you are in a large room of people, lock the device with a pin even if the SIM has been changed, and also send a message to the thief.
Just wondering if I am using the wrong security

So for me avast works the same except you can control when the gps turns on via sms say if the data is off and gps. everything can be done just with sms. The picture taking It will do but you have to pay for that. I see the use in gotya but I like avast. Also avast antitheft even with a wipe over like say you wipe the phone except the internal sd card it can still work. You will have to look into it.
I think I know the answer but I'm hoping I'll be surprised...I screwed up and upgraded phones, complying with a 2GB data plan and downgrading from my grandfathered unlimited data plan. My bill went from 120/mo to 60/mo and I had lost my S3 so I was desperate. Is there a WiFi tether app that uses less data than the others? Also, I'm rooted but using stock ROM. I have read other threads about tethering and it seems like something different works for everyone. I can't get my phone to tether using stock ROM. Is this the problem?
Thanks so much

Not sure about how much data it uses and I'm sure it all depends like you've said but in case you haven't seen this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512981
Tethering for your phone. Fairly easy.
I also don't have unlimited data and am curious what some people say about this.

I've been following this thread to figure out how to do this and have been trying the whole night but can't figure it out. I've downloaded all the files for MK2 and moved the file to the right location but am super stuck. I miss my S3. I think I would have rather stuck with the S3 instead of upgrading to the S4. Poor decision on my part.
Fairly easy as in you got it to work no problem?

No I haven't used this method but from reading the OP to that thread it looks like you'd just need SafeStrap installed and then youd flash that in recovery. Again that's how I took it. Do you have SafeStrap installed? If you're rooted it'd be like installing any app
