Great work once again. My wife refuses to go to custom ROMs and this week I quickly rooted her phone and froze updates so she wouldn't lose the ability to do so in the future. Only downside was not getting the latest update. Then here you are solving that issue for me. It's like you were in my head or something! :silly:
Newbie type question though - will data be effected by flashing this or can i just flash on top stock and retain all her data, apps, accounts and settings?
Thanks
It should be a solid inplace update going from stock to stock rooted.
This may be a stupid question, but If I run this to update from MDL will it wipe my apps and have to re-install them and will I loose my customizations to make google wallet and Hangouts video chat over the network work?
You will loose those, yes.
Its a stock ROM.
Well good morning to me.
Thank you Scott!!
Good night to me!
worked great on stock rooted with TWRP, just had to remember to flash loki-doki
Yep, should work on any recovery. I left Loki out of it because of the variations of people and configurations that will flash this.
Wow, thanks, this should be good, I knew to wait until a professional got a hold of it:
Thanks serious.
Word!
I actually had this done the about an hour after the OTA was out...
Long story short... I had a bad binary updater file that caused me to pull my already thin hair out. Then another guy, jetlitheone, gave me a really simple idea... Try another updater binary... and...
BOOM!
SO credits to jetlitheone for making me not go insane on this build.
Funny thing... No ****... It was the same binary I used on every version of the S4 ROMS I have made before this one... I dont get it... But its now in the past, lol :silly:
nice job scott!! :good: mind if is use this as a base ?
Anyone can use this ROM for any thing they want. Please refer to post #2. Whenever I post a stock rooted ROM its for EVERYONE to make there own or make a public ROM out of.
All yours man...
But credit for the base should be given of course!
Now let me ask the stupid question, if I flash this, can we still have the ability to run custom roms after? meaning, we won't be locked into MF3 will we.
No, this is JUST the ROM, no firmware, no radios, etc.
You can flash this on the MDL firmware just like any other ROM and swap back to any other ROM.
BUt this thing, cleaned up, is HELLA SMOOTH!
Even stock rooted untweaked is smooth! I was impressed! I was about to chuck the S4 after using my HTC One... BUt now I will keep both
Quick question / curious observation -- on the screenshot, I noticed you have MF3 as the build version, but MDL as the modem still.
Did you revert back to MDL, or does this package not flash/include the MF3 modem?
See above, just the ROM. You do your own modem.
Do not flash any of the SBL's are in another post. They are simply not needed for this ROM. I made it work with the old firmware... Which is the most safe route to go!!!
You can however flash the MF3 radio! Heard it runs good on this base according to a couple guys in my CleanROM thread.
