im not responsible for anything you do to your phone.

you need flash fire installed on your phone to make this work

i have made GoldenEye v52 5.0.1 run on our phones here is the guide for now im crunched on time so i will just give you the guide to go from 5.0.1 stock to 5.0.1 GoldenEye

the masterpatch i made has issues with the camera. i belive the other master patch does also but i will link it here anyways

go to the golden eye page and download the rom
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2313469

download the updaterscript attatchment from this post and the masterpatchlolipopbeta ( or try the other one here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-active/general/how-to-update-to-i537oc6-5-0-1-t3089355/post60376229 )

OPEN do not extract the GE zip file (using winrar or 7zip)
navigate to META-INF\com\google\android
delete everything in that directory
copy one of the updaterscripts and updaterbinarys from the attatched files into that directory
now close that file.
copy the goldeneye zip and the masterpatch you choose to use to your phone

open flashfire
set up a wipe (select all but internal storage)
select goldeneye zip
select masterpatch zip

make sure flashfire puts them in that order.

flash it.

the rom takes forever to start up the first time. if it is over 20 mins shut the phone off and turn it back on then it should boot up a little faster.

the superuser in this rom is weird. you need to go to settings in SU and and set it to always grant it is a problem with this rom not from me


thanks to the developers of goldeneye and thanks to thisisapoorusernamechoice for the base to make my masterpatch.

like i ssaid the only thing i can confirm nonworking is the camera. but once a better masterpatch comes out it will be fixed

dont forget to hit thanks if this post has helped you in anyway please.

Oh I keep forgetting to ask, have you tested this with a non-stock camera (e.g. google camera), both with and without the patch? Sorry in advance if you already tried that. I want to try out this rom, I've just been busy trying to do other garbage with my phone I unfortunately have not gotten the chance yet

If I flash this and don't like it can I just flash the stock rooted lollipop? The camera thing is the only thing holding me back because I do use that. I have no problem trying a different camera to see if it works but if it doesn't I want to be able to go right back to the stock rooted rom. Thanks for the info also.

I tried Google camera and it doesn't work either. Do you think you will be making a patch for it? It says can't connect to camera when you open it. Thanks

Thanks , I also tried camera 360 and it said I need to turn on device access. I'm assuming that's where the problem is. Let me know if you need me to test anything. I'll keep golden eye on for a few days if you do.

nahh no need of someone to test right now.....but i may need testers soon for a rom project im going to attempt. going to try to deodex the stock rom then kang a few good features out of golden eye and a few other stock based roms maby some s6 features. but thats a vague in the future type thing. ill keep people updated.

I've been reading to try to deodex lollipop. I've found a few batch tools but haven't gotten them to work. Can't you take the app, private app, and framework folders out of golden eye and put into stock rom? Thats what I was going to try. There's a batch tool called Joel Droid for deodex lollipop roms. I just put onto my computer but didn't try yet. Keep me posted if you deodex the stock rom. I want to try to theme some things.

i dont know. it might give a signing issue but its worth a try. i was reading samsung files had issues in some of the batch ones. maby we can ask the guy who did golden eye how he did it?

first try unsucessful. apparently some files in framework folder were never deodexed eventhough it said they were. im going through and swapping them with ones from goldeneye to see if i can get it to work
. if that dosent work i will try to deodex those files manually tomorow. i have wicked slow upload speeds so i would have to wait till monday to go to the library to upload it if i get it working. thats the downside of not having my own internet and using a neighbors..lol

    figured out deodexing. will release a deodexed version of stock and a deodexed lite stock version on monday. also am working on a 5.0.1 custom rom for the S4 Active ATT. the release date on that is TBA. with the system deodexed people should start making mods :)

    EDIT: i have also made a few flashable zip mods. a center clock mod and a 5 way reboot mod. they require the deodexed rom though. i will release it all on monday when i can get to a descent internet connection.
