THIS IS ONLY FOR USERS ON MDK BOOTLOADER WITH CUSTOM RECOVERY (cwm or twrp)
THIS WILL NOT AFFECT BOOTLOADER OR MODEM AS THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED.
NOT COMPATIBLE WITH SAFESTRAP.
GENERAL DISCLAIMER : YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE!
This is for those decided to never take any OTAs and hold on to their MDK bootloader. This is also for those of us with the Dev Ed that apparently won't ever see any updates....not that we'd take them anyway. I pulled apart joderme's .tar file, got rid of all the bad stuff (bootloader & such), and kept the good stuff.
Jrkruse took this base and added some Aroma goodness to it. He also ported over the sweet dark dialer and contacts from the int'l version.:good: This build also includes a custom loki'd kernel by Talexop . Surge1223's wifi tether mod and swgamez reboot menu are also included.
Aroma Options:
Stock features or :
Custom Boot ani. (Stock, Samsung or G.E.)
Dark Dialer
Dark Contacts
Dark Mms
AOSP Mms
Sound boost Mod (med. or high)
Choice of kernel (Stock or ktoonsez)
Launchers
Security disabled Email Mod
Choice of Bloat...ahem....I mean Stock Apps
Features:
Loki'd Talexop v1.3 kernel - which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46906040
Aroma Installer
Pre-Rooted
Deodexed
Zipaligned
Busybox
a few extra ringtones & notif. sounds from cm
To install:
Must be on SCH-i545 VZW S4
Must be on MDK bootloader and have custom recovery (cwm or twrp).
Wipe cache, dalvik cache and data. (If you choose to "dirty flash", don't bring up any problems here).
When rebooting from recovery, it will ask if you want to "Disable Recovery Flash". Always choose "NO".

I'm sorry, this is 4.3 so it would not be compatible with the 4.2.2 kernel.

This is the official s4 verizon 4.3 mj7 update that he deodex'ed rooted and some other stuff. So no it's not a port. This was meant for our phones this is just a rooted version for mdk s4 users with recovery.

just dirty flashed this over jellybeans build 7 - ...."android is upgrading..." screen, so far so good....will keep updated!
kii keyboard was causing issues, uninstalled...fine; no wifi tho...going to reflash kernel...and modem
(mind you this is dirty flashed on purpose)
oh yea... the moment some of u might have been waiting for is here... another compatible Safestrap 3.71 rom.
you cant hold anyone but your mom or you responsible for your decision to install this or anything else from here. help dont hurt blame samsung for helping them lock our property.
This one actually works out of the zip for all SS users on VZW its not in the title to fool you into downloading!! AND it works for more carriers too!. Other carriers please note you will have to flash your modules / modems of your provider if you experience any issues at all this should fix them.
ported over one of my favorite quick themed essential only roms. even tho its got some funny sounds its the only gold / silver / blue and green rom I've seen. the lock screen is awesome big thanks to original creator kris_92fr.
In order to simplify installing this to VZW / ATT an TMO phones i removed a lot of the optional mods and aroma. these mods can be enabled thru the mod manager inside the rom if you want. i will port a theme chooser to switch the rom to silver or bak to gold or green later if I get enough thanks for this one.
took me forever to get a working zip if it doesnt install right for you from the zip im sorry I tried. your more than welcome to try the safestrap - backip - restore option (I'm uploading soon) and if you meet requirements (MK2/MJ7 all that I test on.)that method will work for sure.
zzzzz It's late just going to post and add more later. enjoy this one! report success n failures and give me a nice +thanks along with original developer if we helped your phone be not so boring. if this works i've put out others that went unnoticed like Foxhound and Omega try them all pick your favorite and enjoy options rather than just 1 option. oh and i take donations in the other form of green PM me if you want to donate

ripped following from original rom thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586507
Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 will now have a new rom,
a 100% French one, dev in France, by French !
Based on 4.3 MKF Firmware
You’ll have the choice between 4 themes : Gold, Silver, Blue & Stock
More than 3.000 icons modified/created/redesigned.
So we proudly present the new M3A1 :
History of this rom:
The idea came out after several meetings between Ichipper, Boubou, Kris & ReturnOfJedi.
We wanted to do something different, something new, something that will content you!
So thanks to :
ReturnOfJedi for testing and managing us
Ichipper for the dev part
Kris for the design
Boubou for the research part
A first “test rom” came out based on the MH8 4.2 firmware, it has been dev and spread to a little and tiny group of people to test the work done and the reliability.
That was the first step of the M3A1’s story.
After that the V2 project arrived, based on the 4.3 MKF with a completed theming.
The rom will be in Gold, and to have a reasonably size, Silver, Blue & Stock theme will be available to download and flashable via Aroma with your favorite recovery.
The code was rewritten, corrected and refine by Ichipper
The icons modified and redesigned by Kris
All Beta-test was ran by ReturnOfJedi
This V2 is released after more than 1 month of hard work of all of the team in order to give you a fully stable, clean, fast and beautiful rom!
Features :
Full Deodexed & Rooted
Knox free
Boost volume
Custom Audio UI
CRT Effect
Full transparency
System UI Tweaked
Extended Reboot
SuperSU updated
NEW
Integrations mod Kill Apps
Gauge Gold battery is installed by default
The AROMA Installer has been redone, it now allows to choose:
The installation language (French or English)
The position of the hour (Center or Right)
Color keyboard (Shinny Gold, Dark Gold or Stock)
Applications to install (add app Fast Dormancy of GokhanMoral)
Creating the app M3A1 Repository integrated into the Rom. It allows to download MODS Flasher from phone

I have downloaded the zip and have it installed in my 2nd ROM slot. Installed the Mj7 kernel module and so far everything appears to be working as I get this set up.
OP rocks! We've finally got some decent SS/MJ7 options. I'll be giving this one a shot as well.
Can this be flashed with loki and TWRP?
pretty much all set up with this ROM and no issues to report so far. The big thing will be battery life.
I'm having a certain amount if fcs with camera and gallery. Blue tooth not pairing with my headset. Battery life definitely not on par with hyper drive.
sent by safestrap
Very nice so far. Very sharp gold theme. Was able to flash the zip w/o problem to rom slot1. Unzipped the SS restore versions to my twrp backup folder but could not restore it. It failed. I have had the same problem with the other SS restore versions (diamond, omega). Can't figure out what I might be screwing up.
Edit: fixed by using Andro Zip instead of Root Explorer to unzip and it restored fine!!!

decaturbob, never said its better than hyper nor would i compare apples to oranges but I have not heard of a problem with camera or gallery my guess is its your stock. probably HD12? ya that will mess up every rom u try to install Just an FYI if you cant figure it out he is your culprit. of course you could obviously just upgrade or downgrade your gapps or specifically gallery via ti or whatever. but there are not FCs that have been discovered and you seem to have a lot of problems (your posts negative 100%? ) i would do the logical thing and odin a fresh mk2 on restore a copy of any SS restoreable roms to STOCK (Foxhound, Omega, m1, there will be a cpl more ive got in route soon) and not HD12 that goes on slot 1. then put this or whatever come back and complain then if theres FCs. not being a **** just stating thats on your end once again bro.

I flashed this to a TMO one with unlocked bootloader one with locked both worked flawlessly after entering a couple apn settings for data. so yes you can flash through TWRP and I dont know why it wouldnt work to loki it unfortunately dont have a phone like mdk or similar with a friendly boot to test this theory so I cannot promise 100% but around 98.5% sure it will be fine. TWRP will flawlessly restore my backup installers that has been tested and works great.

not sure what you mean especially when you say my posts are 100% negative when I have set up user guides and informational posts. I do not have HD on my stock rom, its loaded in rom slot 1 and I loaded your rom in rom slot 2. After a half a day, I was getting continuous fc with camera and gallery and never was able to pair with my headset.
I was reporting issues and you can take them any way you want. friend...
OK, so I just flashed this to a VZW S4 with MDK and unlocked bootloader and it booted up. I dont have the phone activated, and cannot get the WIFI to turn on. I found the OP's wififix.zip and flashed it, but no luck. Any other ideas?

Here's something that has worked on other roms. Wipe, Reflash the rom but do not reboot until you flash the wifi module fix. If that doesn't work it sounds like a different modem or kernel might. Also look into APP to be sure. Good luck. I'm staying with Hyperdrive a while longer before trying this. Thank you for being so intrepid as to try out new stuff.

what wtherrell said you should try wiping restoring again this time immediately flash the wifi fix and if that doesnt work try flashing just the modem try the mk2 first if that doesnt stick try the mj7 and maybe even the safestrap mk2 modules flashed on top of that finally the wifi fix that your able to dig up (nice work on being resourceful seriously if only more users were as proactive as you bro) hope fully this helps Ive had a couple pms from users saying they got it working fine on mdk. good luck thanks for your support
DEVELOPMENT HAS STOPPED FOR THIS AS I NO LINGER HAVE THIS DEVICE
Not that it really needs it, the I337 on NC1 is a beast in terms of phones...
Confirmed Roms:
GoldenEye 34 - 37
PhoeniX 9+
CarHD 28+
CarHD 2.2
Deadly Venom(s)
Maple Leaf
Let me know what roms you are using this on so I can add to this list please...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Make sure the rom you are on has the latest busybox installed.
Flash in Safestrap, or whatever recovery you have, and it'll do the rest. This should work any Samaung device that are Android 2.3 and up, I only have devices that are HoneyComb and up, and it's been tested on them, and works great on them... TEST and USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
What does it do Kev?
Vacuum's SQLite every 4 days
Zip-Aligns all User Data APK's every 3 days (if you choose)
Cleans Caches, Logs, Tombstones, etc... every week
Tweaks Your systems I/O
Makes your Mobile and Wifi Networks faster
Bumps your Wifi scan to every 300 seconds (battery saver)
Enables some Dalvik VM Flags to optimize the loading and executing of all your apps
Enables Dalvik to execute in the Java JIT
Bumps your Dalvik Heaps a tad (let's face it... we got 2G of RAM, so why not?)
Moves your Dalvik to your /cache partition, leaving you a bit more room for more apps
Removes ext4 Journalism on your internal system storage (big time performance boost)
Forces your Launcher into Memory (yes this will take up a bit more RAM, however, your launcher will be much more responsive)
Remounts your devices system, data, and cache partitions explicitly, no updating timestamps, and asyncronous I/O calls
Tweaks your External SD Card read-ahead
Calibrates your Battery if it needs it
De-Odexs a rom (provided you still have the classes.dex files in your APKs... for now)
Enables true init.d support to devices that are bootloader locked
De-Bloats Galaxy S4 Devices of Samsung, GApps, and AT&T Bloatware (gives you the choice of what to remove, and will only work for the S4)
Big Time Thanks to @SkywalkerZ for letting me use his Smart De-Bloater
Logs most actions to /sdcard
But, why do I need it Kev?
In all honesty, you probably don't. Personally I wanted a little more oomph outta my device, so here we are... Not that there's anything wrong with the default, but me being on a locked bootload, I don't get the luxury of being able to flash custom kernels to suit most of these needs
This is awesome Kev, how can I thank you enough?
Hit the thanks button, or use my Copy referral link in my signature to get us both some extra cloud space.
Can I run it manually?
Sure. Grab a terminal emulator and type the following.
Code:
su
sh /system/etc/init.d/10KevsTweaks
sh /system/etc/init.d/11KevsDalvikMover
sh /system/etc/init.d/12KevsZipAligner
As with any mod you do to your device, make sure you make a full backup before you do anything, and as always... YOUR DEVICE'S WARRANTY IS NOW VOID

You may use this, if you use it on a device other than a Samsung, make sure you edit the init.d script to match your devices '/system', '/data', and '/cache' partitions

UPDATE 7/15/2014: - Version 1.8.1
- Fixed my ifelse statements, and now everything actually flashes
- Added in a check for init.d support. If it does not exist the installer will install it.
UPDATE 7/23/2014: - Version 1.8.2
- Added in a de-odexer
- - Do not select this option if you have removed the classes.dex files from your roms APK's if you are pre-odexed.
- - If you are on KitKat you are pretty safe in using this, as classes.dex still exist
UPDATE 7/28/2014: - Version 1.8.3
- Added in @SkywalkerZ's Smart De-Bloater
- - This is only for the S4... and yes, there are checks in place to make sure
- - Gives you the choice to remove all sorts of bloatware from Samsung, Google, and AT&T
- - Head over to @SkywalkerZ's thread and make sure give him proper props for this, and for letting me include it in here
- Fixed init.d support for those of us on locked bootloaders
UPDATE 7/29/2014: - Version 1.8.4
- Added a missing ro.product.model to check for the debloater.
- - If anyone finds that the de-bloater either errors or does not fire up on their S4 can you let me know what the value is of your build.prop ro.product.model is so I can add it
UPDATE 8/27/2014: - Version 1.8.6
- Fixed remounting partitions, and tweaks
UPDATE 8/29/2014: - Version 1.8.8
- Fixed more remounting partitions
- Fixed De-Bloater not De-bloating some apps

- Finally Fixed more remounting partitions
- Fixed Date and Version in the Installer
UPDATE 10/12/2014: - Version 2.0.0
- Updated Bash binary to latest
- - To cure the Shellshock Hack
- Fixed mount points for the Note 3
- - Will now actually mount them , and fix on both S4 and Note 3
- - KevsTweaks remounter modified for this as well
- Rebuilt the build.prop modifier
- - No longer checks for existing values, simply appends to end of file
- - - Since duplicates don't matter much, all this will do is add a little chunk to your build.prop file if you flash this option more than once
UPDATE 10/12/2014: - Version 2.0.1
- Removed de-bloater due to issues on my Note 3
UPDATE 10/23/2014: - Version 2.0.3
- Put de-bloater back in for my S4 Family
- Fixed build.prop modifier (FINALLY!!!)
- - Backs up original
- - - If your boot hangs on you after about 5 minutes, reboot into recovery, delete /system/build.prop and rename /system/build.prop.bak to /system/build.prop
- Added latest sqlite3 binary
UPDATE 10/23/2014 - Part Duh: - Version 2.1.0

Gonna download it and give it a whirl. I'll update you when I get it up and running.
UPDATE: It seems to be working great on my rig. it definitely seems to be more quickly responsive, and I do notice an increase of speed while using a browser.
I like it.

An AT&T i337 NC1 with Goldeneye 34 with the GoogyMax kernel.
It also seems to have cut boot times WAY down too.

Hey Kevp , great work btw. I have a couple of questions with this.
1. How will this work with venom 2.2.2 rom?
2. Will it undo anything the devloper had done in his/her rom?
3. also how does this affected the internal memory/storage? The only reason i ask, is for i was on one of the infamous roms that had mods like this and the dev had stated that with the constant read write to the memory/card will cut the life of the memory/card down, but then he says that by the time this happens most people will be upgrading to a new phone. Unfortunatlly I would not care for i was one of those peeps that kept getting the newest phone out there. But since times have gotten tough, I have had to cut out the needless spending- I rather have a roof over my head then a new phone every 2-4 months. LOL
Thanks to you and everyone that works hard in helping and giving us these great rom-kernel-recovery-apps etc.. You folks are what make blowing things up fun. :victory:

Hey bud... good to see ya around I feel that pain times certainly r tough.
This doesnt make any changes to yur existing files, so it should work on any s4 (its programmed to tweak our devices system, data, and cache partitions for optimal performance)
it does install 3 files. tune2fs for the journaling tweak... (next update ill delete this because it only runs during the install... where its needed), a zipalign binary, and my init.d script to do all the work.
basically by getting rid of journaling on the mounts what we are doing is preventing the device from keeping track of and logging I/O errors... with platter drives this can be a useful feature but with NAND its useless.
also the asyncheonous writing/reading helps speed things along by taking advantage of multi-core devices like ours by running multiple I/O tasks at the same time rather than forcing each task to wait until the previous one is completed.
on multi-user systems like a server I wouldnt do this... but on a phone? its only one user at a time so... why not make the best of it
It shouldnt cut the life at all. really on NAND devices the life is only cut short by writes to the disk... and this number is in the billions so...
I have a 1st generation SSD in one of my machines here at home... been in it since they came out so we're lookin at what 6 years? i do tgis same thing with that since my pc is a linux box... and have been sunce I got it.
ext4 is a great filesystem

Yes, though I did have failed back-ups if I deleted any apps past the ones deleted in the Smart Debloater zip, though that may be caused by anything.

Maybe you have to have NI3 firmware installed to get stock kernel to boot.
where do i get the Ni3 modem is that the newest sprint modem?
is there a version i can flash in twrp without system? Im a little confused.
i want to use the ni3 version but im unsure if my modem is correct i have flashed other roms previously and it seems as though no matter what modem im on it does not display the name correctly in the system settings.

Description
**ROOT REQUIRED**
[B]PROBABLY WON'T WORK ON SAMSUNG DEVICES. SORRY, I CAN'T DO NOTHING WITH IT. PLEASE, DON'T GIVE ME 1 STAR [/B]
Android 4.4+ brought lots of improvements, but enhanced security sometimes makes old good rooty apps to stop working on new OS. This app is made to fix it up!
With SELinuxModeChanger you can switch SELinux between "permissive"(it was used in android 4.3) and "enforcing"(new mode in kitkat and newer).
Just select the button to apply. Script will be executed automatically after every reboot and will set selected mode. Simple and stupid
