Why do AOSP ROMs not work with Safestrap?

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.

Would like to get a list of the confirmed working roms with this patch. As they are on 4.1.2 and have much more tweaks, customization etc..

Running the stock root injected rom with the bootloader unlocked myself.
works great.
I've seen a few out there that offer options I don't need right now so haven't bothered to flash any of them.
I want to know if anyone is running Omega rom with a patch?

Is there a patch that's flashed after or alongside flashing the ROM? I ask because I know CleanRom 3.5 for VZW is based off of the N7105XXDLL1 international version.
I'm using the patch with some pieces and parts from various aosp roms with jellybeer. Everything works. Still working on th flash camera issue. Oh yeah, build.prop tweaks too.

I've been looking around for the aforementioned patch, i know I've seen it somewhere but I must be missing it because I'm an idiot. Does anyone have a link?
Has anyone tried this with the vzw patch?

Hey guys, just some things I've been curious about lately. I just updated to MI1 and rooted it. Is there any way to download safestrap and install custom ROMS such as CM 10.1? Can maybe give me the link to a YouTube video showing me how to flash roms with safestrap? Someone please confirm (or deny) affirmatively whether or not I can flash specifically CM and if not, what about any other ROM? I would probably prefer the stock 4.3 ROM over anything

you can not use cm roms or any 4.3 has to be 4.2
But 10.1 is 4.2.2
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
You can only use stock kernel with safe strap and cm has there own kernel so it won't work
What about AOKP or the stock 4.3 ROM?

TW only. Stock kernel only.

Are there any AOSP based ROMS that allow use of the stock kernel? If not, are there plans to show custom kernels in SS?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It is impossible for an AOSP rom to be based on the stock kernel. There is a list of safestrap compatible roms in the general section, I would suggest Eclipse as it has AOSP styling.
Kexec support is being worked on which will enable custom kernels, but its going to take a long time.

Wow, I only like AOSP based ROMS. Is there any way at all to flash CM or AOKP onto my rooted S4?

Why is it that I could flash with MDK and not with newer versions? Something with kernels?

That's because the bootloader in the S4 is locked, and will not boot an unsigned recovery (i.e. an official one from Samsung.)
There's a bug in the MDK bootloader that allows bypassing that check, which allows a custom recovery to be installed and booted.
That custom recovery then allows you to install whatever ROM you like.
Releases after MDK have that bug fixed so there's no way to use a custom recovery. Safestrap allows you to start a custom recovery by using the standard kernel to get Safestrap loaded and started up. Since it's not running on the bare metal of the phone, Safestrap can't overwrite the bootloader or kernel, so you can only use ROMs that work with the standard kernel.
Eventually, if kexec gets working, Safestrap will be able to host nonstandard kernels, making many more ROMs possible.
That is sweet because I really want to try CM or AOKP. I will probably like AOKP better but who knows. Can I expect this update allowing for custom kernels soon?

Who knows? That's why I said "if kexec gets going". If the devs can't figure out how to boot a custom kernel, Touchwiz-based ROMs are it.
Oh okay. Thanks a lot though hopefully kexec does get going cause I'm not a big fan at all of touchwhkz

I'm happy not running a custom rom right now and just using faux kernel. When the 4.3 update becomes official will I be able to just flash an image and run like I am currently?

You could, but I don't recommend it. For one, we don't know when or even if the Odin image for the update will even be released. But if it does, it's gonna re-lock your bootloader (since you're running a custom kernel, I am assuming it is unlocked), and your phone may not be able to be re-unlocked again.
Once the update is out I'd wait until the devs get a hold of it and update the custom roms. With the new Samsung KNOX included in the update I'd say it might be a little bit of time before the roms are updated, but they will be.

Sounds good... Must not relock lol.
Thanks

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!

Since this Rom will be dual booted (my main touchwiz primary Rom and this secondary AOSP rom), I want to find a fun AOSP Rom to mess around with. Can anyone suggest a 4.4. (Kitkat) rom that is packed with features in it. I remember hearing some rooms have multi window support? Anything like that would be awesome.

Best rom threads will be locked, try them all and see which ones you like.

Because of what the guy above stated, you need to try out ROMs for yourself to figure out what is best for YOU, also there have been many many threads asking this exact thing and they always get locked. I'll give you one option for aosp.......Vanir ROM.
