What ROM that is safestrap compatible would you recommend? Preferably a kitkat ROM if at all possible? Thank you so much for taking your time

Does anyone know if the Google edition ROM has been ported to verizon s4 yet? I don't think 4.3 was but maybe 4.2.2 was? :thumbup:

Yes, there's a thread for it in the Android Development forum. It works very well.

Try out OctOS. It's a GE rom that works great and is on 4.3.
I'm curious about the type (s) of Roms are compatible with Verizon ME7 update rooted and with Safe Strap. I'm seeing all these nice 4.3 roms and I'm wanting to see what I shouldnt even waste my time looking at. Cab someone please show me the ways of this Jedi talk.

Not exactly what I'm looking for. I've been in that forum and I'm wondering specifically about using Roms like the Liquid Smooth 4.3 AOSP on ME7.

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
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thanks the ideas ill check out xposed. I was so upset when I heard I could install a recovery and rom yet I hooe they come out with it really soon.

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 I went back to Touchwiz Hyperdrive would be my choice as well. SBreen is the man

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

Why do AOSP ROMs not work with Safestrap?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Because the bootloadet is looking for the stock legit firmware signature., without unlock we can't change the stock I'd OR tell it don't look for stock Id anymore. This is simpliest explanation.

Well, until kexec gets figured out, safestrap only allows us to use the stock kernel... which only lets us run touchwiz. If we could run other kernels, AOSP wouldn't be out of reach.
