What is there to do? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

We all know there is no bootloader unlock on 4.3 with the VZW GS4 which sucks
So what is there to really do with it.
I'm new to android so any suggestions would be great to just mess around with on the phone.
Thanks All

Um... wow.
Ok I've briefly heard about this but never dabbled until now.
Again...wow.
Gives you so many of the options once only available in custom Roms in the stock Rom.
A big thank you!

Try wanam app in playstore, it works with Xposed excellent app for customization

I actually installed it through Xposed in the download section.
That is the best one so far.

You could root it and install xposed. Can do some modding with it installed.

Customize your stock Rom with Wannam Xposed

Hi guys I stumbled upon this and thought I'd share.
This is for all of you who want to cutomize their Roms while keeping it stock. It works with Xposed framework.
I currently on the MF1 Rom using the SGH-I337M Canadian variant and it works great.
so anyway ... Enjoy

Wait, does this mean that I would have to have a custom recovery for this to work? I have the mf3 version and there is no custom recovery for this as we speak.

If you are just rooted you can use any of the tools need first to install Xposed Installer and can use anything that combines with it like XBlast Tool is one which works great for stock roms.

Custom recovery is useful to disable the xposed framework in case something goes wrong

4.4 ROM?

Anyone know when we'll see the first stock Google ROM for our Verizon s4? Or any developers out there working on one? Want one bad!

(Patience is key) I think some developers are working on it now, but it is a challenge to port a new version of stock android on to the jfltevzw because the device is different than your average nexus device. Then you also have to take in the fact that devs are working on other projects on the moment and wish not to abandoned them.
Thank you for the post. And I do understand that. Very anxious!

Hopefully not sounding stupid, but can I flash this with CWM recovery (MDK build), or would I need to be on at least on ME7 with safestrap to flash?

just a reminder, safestrap 3.7 not reading the extsd card yet, at least it didn't for me. I'm pretty sure hashcode mentioned he is working on this. So you will need to copy files to your memory card....

As of now its nothing but a wet dream.
If you (Dev) need help with beta testing etc. Just ask setup an irc Chan or something, don't be ashamed for asking for help. Sure there are many willing and able to do so...

Rom slot not working- SS 3.71

First off, if this is in the wrong area I apologize. Please move it Mods, or tell me where it needs to go.
I am running ss 3.71 on my verizon mk2 s4. For some reason when I create a rom slot and try to boot it up i get passed the splash screen then nothing. No button lights or reaction to any of the buttons, just a black screen. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance fellas

Yes. Tried booting with and without a rom installed. I run the same version of ss on my fire hdx and it worked fine the first time. Also when I go to make the partition I can only change the data size. It won't allow me to change the others.
should I try uninstalling SS and re installing it?

What info do you guys need?
When I did my HDX the rom slot opened and ran on the stock rom then I made changes to it. This should work the same on my GS4 right??
I just tried creating the slot again, same issue.
Thanks a lot guys! I really appreciate the help for a noob!!

And its definitely the Eclipse for Safe strap?? If so maybe try and load a different ROM on that slot just to see what you get then. If you can get into SS to do all this I wouldn't think SS is the problem myself.

Well like josh said whatever one you do chose must be a 4.3 TW ROM since you're on a Safestrap S4. The only one I could suggest is Hyperdrive. But there's a few from what I've been seeing.

If you're gonna buy xda premium just buy tapatalk pro just in case you join any other forum. Even if you don't it still has features not included in xda premium. XDA screwed their app when they updated to tapatalk 4
