No, only touchwiz roms. There's a thread about roms that work with safestrap. Hyperdrive and Eclipse are popular roms.

Yah, you can't flash all rom with safestrap. Just some roms can work with it. I'm looking for threads talk about this issue.

I am about to install the Jellybean rom and have a quick question. When reading the install instructions, it states that Loki recovery must be installed. I rooted the phone and have Odin installed. Will this be sufficient or will this cause a conflict?
Thanks

Did you install a custom recovery like cwm or twrp?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
It must have been done when I rooted with Odin as it is there. (TeamWin). I have the ROM flashed, just not sure why all of the bloat is still present. Guessing Bean didn't create a "theme" as of yet.

I dont think beans removes a lot of bloat. If you want basically bloat free try clean rom. :thumbup:

So I used to have a fully unlocked Dinc2 and I was able to pick ip this S4. Wow what a major difference. I stopped the auto update while in the store and obtained root. Now what do I need to do to keep root and not have the auto update ever happening again. Also I just put on cwm recovery nothing else. What needs to b done now? Am I able to flash any ROM/kernel here or are there restrictions? Thamks yall for the help. Looking forward to the great development that is gonna happen.

get titanium backup and freeze/backup+uninstall SDM that will keep updates from happening. (only for stock rom, once you install a rom it won't be a problem all roms have SDM disabled by default)
you can now flash any touchwiz rom however unless your cwm is loki'd you can't flash aosp roms (such as cyanogen mod, MIUI, aokp...)
so basically if you are not lokied you can flash only roms on the android development board if you ARE lokied you can flash those AND the ones in the ORIGINAL android development board.

Not sure what you mean... The op asked about SS ROMs for 4.3. I just looked again and the two I mentioned work for SS it seems. So what do you mean?

So i just got my s4 yesterday. I installed safe strap and put on the Hyperdrive rom. I want to try out the google 4.4 rom. So from my understand I just follow the video I saw on another thread to get goo manager and put loki on correct? I use that recovery to wipe and flash the rom? Then I can delete the rom slot i made for hyperdrive on safe strap correct?

There's a decent list of SafeStrap Roms but they're only Touchwiz. I know that's a bummer for some. Gigilie is porting over so many more almost daily too.
Stock 4.4.2 isn't that much different from 4.3 I can tell you that cuz I have a sprint one on that. I hear ya though on just wanting the latest and greatest.

@HeyRobi: half True there's no native rooting or tethering yet (foxfi and custom roms work tho) but there's a thread under development section that can downgrade part of you and then root u then re upgrade u to custom rooted 4.4,2 not roms or there's nc5 prerooted roms to flash thru safestrap check out my thread if you have questions or concerns feel free to ask in the thread:fingers-crossed:

so I looked at your link and seems like some people are struggling so I haven't tried it yet. Are we any closer to a simple root. I don't necessarily need to install a recovery just want root. And by the way thanks for posting the link.

You may be out of luck.
The method is easy but it will wipe your phone.
There is a chance yo could be waiting for a looong time.
So if I'm OK with wiping it works. Everything will work?

Try towel root, it worked on my nc5, only problem is that the bootloader is locked so I cannot flash roms
Simply search "towelroot apk" and you should find a link to xda or to towelroot.com
