I know this goes somewhere else but GPE ROM states that Google now doesn't have a network connection when I hold the home button. this happens on Wi-Fi and lte. Everything else works great...

Any ideas?

I was able to install (Slot 1 at 2Gb) hyperdrive (chose stock kernel) and then flash the ME7 kernel file. Hyperdrive is working good so far.


after a dozen attempts, hyperdrive is up and running now. The key I think on the install is to uncheck "reboot" at the end of the flash so it goes right back into SS so kernel patch can be flashed...then reboot system

How big do the Rom slots need to be? In GB.

Here was my rough guess for what size to make your data slot:

1gb data is normally only for a testing slot. More than say 30+ apps and you'll be pretty full. (Games are larger than other apps). Of course with the system being 2.8gb, having a smaller data like this doesn't make as much sense. On other devices the system partition is much smaller (600mb) and making a small data allows for several test slots which hardly take up any room

2gb data should work for most users. And that's what I use as it should allow for 2 slots to be created this way.

3gb data is for power users. This large of a virtual partition can be unstable on some devices. Not sure yet on the S4.

You can choose up to 10 zips to queue up to be flashed in a row. I chose gpe.zip first then added the Wi-Fi fix. It did it before it rebooted automatically.

After flashing a ROM in rom-slot 1, could I use the same 2 gb partition (a portion of the left over) for a test rom on rom-slot 2? Is that what you do?

Aahh don't worry.. I don't get pissed at people online... Just like to bite back when they play the smart asses :D I used to moderate a few forums when I was a kid... Before Facebook and their decline lol... People take themselves too seriously...

My question is still valid tho... What does unstable means cause I made a 3gb partition and it would be good to know what kind of problems I could run into...

    I WILL NO LONGER BE SUPPORTING THIS THREAD WITH MY OWN PERSONALLY FOUND INFORMATION. THOUGH IF ANYONE PRESENTS ME WITH NEW ROMS AND PROOF THEY WORK AND LEGIT, ILL GLADLY ADD THEM TO THIS THREAD. JUST MESSAGE OR TAG ME.

    THIS THREAD IS DEDICATED TO ROM'S THAT WORK WITH SAFESTRAP ON VERIZON ME7.

    COULD THESE ROM's WORK FOR YOU NON VERIZON FOLKS OUT THERE? I DON'T KNOW... I'M ONLY TESTING WITH A VERIZON S4 SO FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK

    Standard Disclaimer:
    I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your device.

    For Us On Me7 We Can Only Use Roms using the Me7 Kernel

    INSTRUCTIONS:
    1. DOWMLOAD ROM OF YOUR CHOICE (STILL THINK IT HAS TO BE Me7 BASED)
    2. FLASH ROM (DO NOT REBOOT YET, YOU MUST DO STEP 3 FIRST BEFORE REBOOT)
    3. FLASH HASCODES FIX OVER TOP OF ROM
    ------>
    http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=507
    4. REBOOT&PROFIT!!!!

    ***NOTE THESE ARE ROMS I HAVE PERSONALLY "TESTED", IF YOU FIND A ROM THAT DOES OR DOESN'T WORK SUBMIT A LINK TO THAT ROM IN YOUR POST AND ILL TEST IT AND THEN ILL ADD IT THIS LIST***
    TESTED = It Booted, GPS, WIFI and DATA WORK. I Tried a NAVIGATION APP TO CONFIRM GPS LOCK. I CONNECTED TO MY HOME WIFI NETWORK AND USED WHATEVER STOCK BROWSER CAME WITH THAT ROM TO CONNECT TO A WEBSITE and I DID THE SAME OVER CARRIER NETWORK (DATA). I MADE ONE PHONE CALL

    ROMS THAT WORK!!!! (IF YOU LIKE ANY OF THESE ROMS DON'T FORGET TO DONATE TO THE ROM CREATORS AND SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION FOR THEIR HARD WORK. MOST OF THE OPs HAVE DONATE LINKS)

    I Made A Video On How To Install A Rom Using SafeStrap. In The Video I'm Installing The Google Play Edition Rom

    If You Appreciate the effort I'm Putting In To Make Sure Us with Me7 Have A Complete List Of Working Roms For SS. Please Hit That Thanks Button and Show Me Some Love!!!

    I think it would be helpful if one of the guys that have already flashed GPE rom or the Hyperdrive rom to post a video of you booting into safestrap and all the steps you did during the install...that way itll be super helpful for all others..including myself.

    The steps are so easy that you don't even need a video.

    Copy the ROM and Hashcode's fix ZIPs into your external SD (for convenience).

    In rooted stock, install SS.
    Run SS, grant root, hit "Install Recovery".

    Reboot (however you one).
    When present with safestrap, hit Menu button.
    Do NOT wipe anything.
    Select Boot Options, select the first ROM slot.
    Select 1GB / 2GB / 3GB depending on how much you have left on your internal SD.
    Create slot (may take 5 mins)
    Since the slot is brand new, no wiping required.

    Go to Insall, pick the ROM ZIP file.
    Add more ZIP, pick Hascode's fix ZIP file.
    Process with installation.
    At the end of AROMA installation, make sure to DESELECT the "Reboot" check (if presented).
    As AROMA exits, Hashcode's fix ZIP will be flashed.
    When that's done, hit Reboot System

    Enjoy :)

    Hate to be a buzzkill in here folks, but this thread is getting way too close to being a BEST rom thread.

    There are plenty of discussions about SS roms in development. It is about time members take the time to read and study and take the time to see what is there.

    I am requesting that a committed Recognized Contributor (or Senior Member) create an updated post with a list of (updated) ROMs that are SS ready and be done...questions and answers should be happening in the development threads.

    Someone please step up, make the list of ROMs, and let me know, we will create the thread, with links to the works in the development sections, and we can update as needed.

    I have tried the majority of these ROM's but I'm having a hard time deciding which ROM i like the best..

    What is everybody's favorite ROM?

    Hyperdrive, by a mile.
