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.

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.

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:

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

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!!

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

    I have a relative that has an S4 and wanted a custom rom so. I installed EMPTYGALAXYROM_1.22.15 for them. This is the first time I have gotten to look at your rom. You have done a really nice job!:good:

    Merry Christmas kids!

    EVG is updated to v3.92.
    Download
    https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717069841
    Op will be updated.
    - front cam fix
    - 100% battery mod [thanks @old&slow]
    - root browser added in place of myfiles.
    - Empty Galaxy "Official" UI preview (as vr theme zip), I still need to add a themed battery and fix a few images so hold off on telling me what's missing if you decide to flash. I will add some apks but ultimately there will be 2 versions. 1 for any rom and one with a few more themed parts that will have evg framework and sysUi and more.

    Download
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/86mgv14xrb6qidj/vr-EGOUIv0.zip?dl=0
    This update should serve as a final.
    This rom will always assume you know what you like or want better than I do. Use the xda search, playstore or xposed and you'll find you are not limited in mods.
    The changes made are in hopes to make it a little easier to mod as you like.
    Also, I will be making some of the Int. EG UI's into themes. This will take some time.

    I trust everyone is enjoying the birthday parties? :)

    Here is a bootanimation I made and compiled in qmg format for EmptyGalaxy.

    It is similar to the stock animation that comes with the rom but instead of "android" it says "Empty Galaxy".

    I made a revert a zip so if you don't like it just flash the revert zip to go back to stock.

    These are flashable zips so you can just flash them in recovery.

    EmptyRom_BootAnimation.zip

    EmptyRom_BootAnimation-Revert.zip

    I think you will like this, I made it so that it can use it on both roms (I didn't put VZW branding).

    Wow! :cowboy::D:highfive:
    I'm in the process of a complete overall of sorts, perfect timing. Officially committing to the I545 and halting development of the international version.

    Not sure if I'll build roms from here on. I'll hopefully go back to themeing. But I want to Thank everyone who supported the Empty Galaxy Roms. It's been a lot of fun for me and I hope it has made your experience with the S4 last a little longer and feel a little better.
