Long overdue Thanks to @gigilie for all he's done for the s4!
Special thanks to these folks for supporting with donation for past and or for the current project
All donations go to my wife who has allowed me to do this and play music for almost 3 years!
All I have to do is take care of 2 cats, clean and cook, refine egr stuff and write a song about her every couple of days!
She thanks them too!

Emptied apps
You can find flashable zips with apks that are removed from the rom.
Please feel free to request.
The script will not wipe caches for you. Sometimes I don't have time or it's not necessary so I keep it out.
It's generally a good idea anytime flashing a mod or adding back in an app.

a stock non international Empty? Whaaaaaaaa... Awesome I was testing out the base build for a couple days now, It definitely needed to be Empty. (Still a great build though) Reggie you're gonna be famous if you keep it up.

---

Woo hoo! Looking forward to this!

I'm probably going to post this in both eg threads but I'm looking for opinions;
I'm really liking being back on a vzw build. It's early in running it but I'm already wanting to finish the ui on the international and devote all my time to this Rom.
I realize it's my choice but I work for the VZW S4 community as I'm concerned and my wife allows
So I want to know what you think.
Empty Galaxy or Empty Verizon Galaxy?
I'd do a poll but let's be honest, I'll be lucky to get more than a few responses.
[emoji12]

---

I would be happy with either, but I would prefer VZW.

Reggie, I just thought I'd drop by and say congrats man. You've been doing some great work for the community with your awesome rom and themes! (I still use one of your themes :thumbup
And as for my opinion, I'm biased you know me, I hate anything that says "Verizon" in it lol.
So here's one vote for Empty Galaxy :sly:

---

Right on. I could have a whole section to thank you and @bajasur for practically anything I post so I sincerely appreciate the congrats.
You know I love hearing you having a theme on too!
And vote noted

---

Probably a stupid question but what is the real difference in between the builds?
I've been using your EG roms for months now as my daily driver so I'm obviously interested in any new work from you so I'd be happy with whatever you chose to do. I reserve the right to ebb towards one of the two once I understand the differences, though, ha ha.

---

That's a good question. Honesty I'm not real sure other that the volume rocker going all the way to silent and the white dialer and mms. It's a different build and feels a little different but this ultimately may match the speed changes I've made to other and end up feeling the same. This will have a more Verizon inspired themed ui, for whatever that means, but I think your question is valid, I guess we'll see if anyone finds some differences.

Havent been able to flash this build or the last Empty Dec edition due to too much life goin on, but i'd say VZW minus all vzw branding. Love em though. Simple and awesome UI and a Rom that just works

---

flashed this on SS and is running fine. no issues so far. thanks a lot!

---

I hate to be selfish....but VZ Empty Galaxy all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

---

Hi,
Can someone try using the Mobile Hotspot feature and let me know if it works. When I try to use it I get a settings FC everytime. I have not made any changes/tweaks to the ROM. This is happening on a clean flash on MDK through the latest TWRP. Thanks in advance!!

same here - settings FC on MDK

Thanks to everyone chiming in on the Verizon vs International question. I'll keep going on both for a few either way and we'll see what happens.
The mobile hotspot fc may be a victim of debloating. I'll double check to make sure and get back to you guys. There is no hotspot hack in the rom itself and I am limited on my knowledge since I've never used it. If anyone knows what is causing it let us know. But I will be working on it.
Does this help?

Sure does - XTether xposed module enables the mobile hotspot feature ! Nice find !
EDIT: BTW - jrkruse's base NK1 Rom's mobile hotspot works without the xposed module

---

Well im digging 1.0 lol i got it loaded and i see 1.5 available... so theming of it? I dont think we can use your awesome orange theme because its international, so how would we get an orange theme on the NK1 builds? maybe I'm a little behind on this phone lately. Some help out would be awesome

---

Well.. 1.0 was never uploaded. I did testing up to 1.5 and uploaded that. Did you hack my pc!?! Jk.
I'm going to try to make the ui's from the International into vr themes minus the full apks hopefully over the week.
