are there any visual mods that we can do without xposed. I really want to use ART
I just tried to run art but didnt set on boot. guess you cant with xposed?
The original poster is pointing out that Exposed is not compatible with ART, no way. Perhaps in the future it will, but not now.

No you can't have ART with xposed as of right now. Rovo is still working on that I believe and said at some point it will work but for now your phone will just default to Dalvic if you have xposed.

Well the latest update from TheCubed was a very good one. If you didn't see it he basically said again that the G3 can definitely have something like Loki to get us a recovery. But he's working on a true bootloader unlock first. So that's great news!

Well I hear ya... My S4 was Loki'd and I do miss having the options. Just knowing that we will have something though is good enough for me right now. The guys working on our bootloader are doing a hell of a job considering the task at hand.
Switch it up if you want but I'd still hold onto the G3. They already have CM and Slim working on the TMobile G3 so when the rest of us get a recovery going the ROM development will already be rolling.

I just got back home with my shiny new S4 and I can't wait to get the thing rooted and rom'd. But! Before I take the dive, I'd like to test the waters of this lovely phone's community.
If you have a few minutes to spare:
- What rom/kernel are you using? Why?
- What is one thing that you wish you knew about the S4 before flashing?
Thanks!

As far as I know (which I'm not 100%sure since I'm on mdk) you cannot flash custom roms yet if on the latest update (mj7 with Android 4.3) If you're lucky enough (unlikely) to get one with me7 firmware, you can flash custom roms with safestrap. This phone is not doing so well in the development area as I expected it would before release. Hopefully someone can figure out a way around the locked down bootloader

That makes it painfully obvious that you haven't read much around here.
What you first need to know is what firmware version you have. That determines what you can do.
What you asked is equivalent to saying that you have a car then asking what you can do to improve it - no data on what year or model, or what you want to do. Without that info, how can anyone help you? If you can't even be bothered to figure out what build you have to start with, nobody can suggest anything to help you.

I managed to figure that out a couple minutes ago. I actually got pushed to ME7 while I was rooting my S4 (ironic?) and was able to stop it after that. So, it seems I was one of the lucky(ish) ones. Would've been nice to stay at MDK, but SafeStrap seems to be one hell of a tool.

Hey there... I remember you from the Fascinate forums. I finally ended up getting an S4 about 2 1/2 months ago and for the most part it's a great device, but you can't expect near the same freedom as you had with the Fascinate.
When I got mine I ended up with ME7 so it sounds like you're in the same boat. I have mine rooted, but decided not to use Safestrap because of the limitations it brings (mainly the storage issue). I'm pretty happy with how I have mine set up and it's pretty snappy overall, but I really do wish I had gotten an MDK in order to really flash roms like I used to on my Fascinate.
If you choose to use Safestrap then go nuts and I hope you find some roms you like (Hyperdrive seems to get the most love around here from what I've noticed). I'll just quickly list off the modifications I did to mine that got it to where I like it:
-Froze all bloat with Titanium, including the SDM 1.0 (to prevent unwanted updates)
-Got rid of e911 icon and ongoing WiFi notification
-Installed the International Voice Dialer with call recording
-Installed Volume Boost mod (increased it around 50% over stock)
-Installed Xposed Framework so I could use Greenify features
-Used Greenify to hibernate all misbehaving apps (examples would be Facebook and Google Play Store) (... this increased battery life A LOT)
-Installed AdAway (adblocker)
-Turned all animations down to .5 in developer options and disabled all hovering effects on the lock screen
Doing all that really made this thing a lot better than it was, but I'm still hoping for a true bootloader unlock to start playing with it more. I have found a lot of the Touchwiz features to be quite useful, like the voice control stuff, camera app, etc, so I would probably stick with a modded Touchwiz rom if I had the option. Good luck.
edit: Oh and another thing you might not be aware of - the camera is set to 9.5MP by default in the app, you need to go into settings to use the native 13MP resolution.
One thing to note that no one mentioned (and in case you didn't read elsewhere) is that with SafeStrap you can not use ROMs with custom kernels. So that means no AOSP based ROMs like CM, Carbon, PACman and others since they are all using a custom kernel. At least until they get KEXEC working with SafeStrap (if they get it working). So basically you can only use modded TW roms with a stock kernel.
I've been seeing the 5.0.2 sense Rom on the one m8 and m7....was wondering if any devs are currently porting it over to the max?

Well you can if you want. Everything seems to work except WiFi and Bluetooth. Kernel related.

I would love to give it a try also if possible. I could deal without Bluetooth and WiFi. I have been running CM12 and love lolliepop, but I have actually always been a fan of Sense going all the way back to the Touch Flo days of the Original HTC Touch. I really appreciate everything you have done for our device and look forward to what comes next.
compared to say the grand x max+? also which is most stable rom besides stock for lo3? thanks for replys
also to root i have unlock it?
Yes
I've had a lot of good phones. Original Note and LG G2 among the best. I still use my Mate 2 as a daily driver. Totally love it. It will be a sad day when it stops working.
Off the top of my head (which may be really outdated), spec-wise and price-wise, I think the Mate 2 is better than any other of its competitors. Again, I haven't been paying much attention lately, so I might be out of the loop quite badly. But for a nearly 4,000 mAh battery and, thanks to some amazing people on this forum, quite a few custom ROMs, I have absolutely no complaints. I'm not replacing this anytime soon. My previous phone was used for either 3 or 4 years.
Just be glad you weren't here from October 2014 to June 2015.
Lol true. Got my own cm ROM made. And working on compiling omni ROM. Shm has several ROMs for it. And cm has L and MM as well. Way better device with stock ROM replaced.

I've actually been using the stock ROM for the past month or so, maybe longer. Actually not that bad, I like EMUI. However, I am missing some features of custom ROMs, like swiping notifications on the lockscreen getting rid of them instead of opening them, and being able to change the DPI without everything breaking.
Also, Xposed apparently doesn't work on B322? I haven't tried it myself, but that does suck if true. I used several modules back on B128.
Edit: Does anyone know if there's a way to get the Huawei camera app on CyanogenMod? I think I'm gonna switch back, but the stock camera is garbage, and Google Camera has a weird preview issue in portrait (image is squashed, but turns out fine after it's captured).

Just hope something doesn't so wrong. I have one rebooting from Bluetooth being turned on and they won't replace it.
am i supposed to update the phone or anything before unlocking?
You need to be on B322
And if it is CC or wind. Unlock the carrier lock before flashing CM etc

Indeed! Only thing to note with Candy Six is that live wallpapers seem to be broken at the moment, and Clock consistently crashes every time I try to open it. That may or may not have something to do with the Layers theme I installed though.

Yeah, I know. I was trying to get a discussion going in the Sprint section since it seems to be dead.
Yes, I had my S8+ successfully rooted, but had to go back since Amazon Flex app would not run on a rooted device
Rooted, went back to stock, then rerooted. Only using it for viper, titanium backup, and adaway though. Also like that I can have a nand-like backup with ff in case I screw something up.

Yeah, I'm still kicking around - I remember you too. Sprint side of things is pretty dead in the s8+ world. Think it's because we're all in the same boat this time, so we're all just glomming onto the generic snapdragon s8+ threads. Instead of having a different section for each carrier, it would probably make more sense for xda to just have a snapdragon section.
oh yeah, I also used root explorer to change my boot animation and to disable some sounds.

So you actually rooted? I don't see the point in rooting as of right now thanks to adhell (v2) and substratum. Only thing I really miss is TiBu, but that's all.

It's the stock volume that kills it for me. Guess I'm getting old (or spoiled from the s6) but even with volume turned all the way up, it's still not loud enough through bt. I went back to stock thinking volume wasn't worth rooting for, but I got pissed off when I couldn't hear through my speaker or headphones and went back to viper again. Battery is still great, even with the 80% limit, and the glitchiness from being rooted is pretty minimal. And I like adaway and titanium better than Adhell 2 for blocking ads and dealing with apps - they seem to do a better job.
If it wasn't for the volume issue though, I would probably just stay on stock.

I went to WETA for customization and the aroma installer had a bunch of stuff I could choose from, rooting in general it's just something I've been doing since my first Android phone, I'm amazed at what I can do with basically complete control, as I say to my friends that don't know what root is, if I want to do something I more than likely can, music didn't sound good enough to me so I installed viper4android music sounds amazing and I couldn't go back to stock, I wanted my battery to last longer so I installed greenify to force doze when I turn my screen off so I can get iPhone levels of standby drain, also it's just something fun to do there's always new stuff going on, Xposed just got released officially a few days ago and I honestly can't wait to see what comes of it.

Yeah i had started with the VS995 Verizon variant when I first went to the V20.. but after we switched to MetroPCS (via TMobile service).. I noticed that without all of the GSM bands.. my connection was HORRIBLE.. plus I did not have the WIFI calling / SMS features... so I switched to the H918 variant... SO Glad I did.. love the knowledge I could unlock my bootloader.. and it seems to have some of the default features that Verizon had locked out... IE FM Radio.. etc..
right now i'm on the 10q software.. so not sure if i'm locked out of anything or if thats still able to root / unlock and flash safely.
