I have a rooted verizon gs4 running the 4.3 update and safe strap. If I install the pure google rom on a second rom slot will it brick my phone?

it won't boot man. only touchwiz 4.3 roms work with safestrap. tis the curse of having this awesome phone until the bootloader gets unlocked/bypassed.

Would hyper drive Work?
Hyperspace works great on my SCH-I545 running MK2 with Safestrap. Not much else will work with Safestrap. If you find yourself soft bricked, use the stock image that you flash with Odin. You'll find yourself unrooted; but you can easily root again with the install.bat found in the forums.
Also, Hyperdrive comes with several useful tweaks that not only speed up your device, but also make it look very nice.

yes, as long as you flash the correct one for safestrap and load kernel module afterwardf. Plenty of info in hyperdrive threads

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?

I currently have stock rom and recovery and kernel rooted and want cwm so I can finally get a custom rom installed ^^. How would I install cwm?
And how would I install this rom properly:

You can't. I suggest you look at some of threads talking about boot loaders.... Safestrap . mj7 is fully locked down. Hash code is working on porting his safestrap to work on 4.3 bases

Sadly, this gets repeated over and over:
If you upgrade past MDK, you can't bypass the bootloader, which means you can't install custom recovery or custom kernels.
Once you install a release, you usually can't install any prior release (the only exception is that MK2 can be downgraded to MJ7).

Depends, is phone a MK2 build or MDK? Many people get baseband and build number mixed up. They are not the same thing
If its MK2 build you can't load a recovery like TWRP or CWM as the bootloader, since MDK is fully lock down. You only option is safestrap and a handful of safestrap compatible ROMS.
plenty of info here that you need to know. Plenty of threads to digest
Mine is MK2 Build. It's already rooted with safestrap. So will any Safestrap ROM work? As long as I flash the MK2 add on?

Yes... And like he said there really are only a handful of safestrap ROMs... I'd suggest trying out hyper drive first and see how you like it.

thats correct. If a ROM is safestrap compatible and you flash the kernel module associated with your build.
Please note, that hyperdrive has a SPECIFIC safestrap ROM, don't download the other one. I have tried everyone to date and still go back to HD12

Have tried all of them and keep going back to hyperdrive. It's definitely a great starting point.

If you like the look of inverted, vanilla AOSP, look into Eclipse ROM. The developer, well known here, is nitroglycerine33. He is currently working on a Safestrap version of his Eclipse ROM so people like us with locked bootloaders can use his ROM. It has that beautiful AOSP look, and has really excellent battery life.
Cheers
Hey Guys, I'm new to the Gs4, trying to understand the different recoveries
I have my gs4 on KK 4.4.2 NC5, and was able to get it rooted, get SS 3.72 installed and get the hyperdrive rom installed
As I understand it, this needed to be put on the stock slot.
I was looking around, and found a few other roms I would like to try Carbon, Beanstalk, Unicorn...
Am I safe to assume that these won't work with safestrap?
Would they work with another recovery?
Or being that im on NC5 I'm limited?
Thanks in advance!
You have no choice for recovery except safestrap. You can load any safestrap compatible rom...and can only go in Stock slot.
sent by safestrap powered echo v26
So if I wanted to try the other roms, I have to use stock slot of safestrap.
Is it tru that AOSP roms won't work on safestrap?

SS for Verizon android 4.4 is partially functional...limitations include making and installing to rom slots.
No asop or cm roms...There are a couple asop roms but not 100% functional. ...I have never tried
sent by safestrap powered echo v26
SO If I were to revert back to the stock rom, and remove SS.
Could I install another recovery, then try the other roms?

Please, read the very basics about this phone. You either have MDK (which you DON'T(and which you CANNOT get, period) or you have safestrap. There's nothing else. But a little bit of reading goes along way with that question.

Hey, I didn't find any similar threads specifically for the verizon S4, but my question is whether or not i will keep root access if I do a factory reset on my i-545 NC5 running Android 4.4.2 through safestrap, or if there is a better way to clear up some memory. I want to flash Hyperdrive RLS18 through safestrap, but there is too much saved directly to the phone to make a decently sized slot. Any ideas on the best way to wipe the entire phone except for root access, safestrap, and my 4.4.2 ROM?
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Bump, Any input?

To be more accurate, on SS 3.72 rom slots don't work, so not just HyperDrive but any KitKat TW rom.

Well it's almost stable for AT&T, Verizon isn't officially supported. The problem right now is that Hashcode, the sole developer/genius who created and maintains Safestrap is stopping support on the project on Monday, because he got an awesome new job to focus on (congrats Hash). He said he was looking for people to continue the work but I haven't seen anything on who those devs would be or if anyone could even qualify.
