Hello all. As I wrote in my title, I'm just coming back to the s4 after being gone for about a month. I've flashed a few roms and I've noticed that data stops working on almost all the ones I've tried. I tried the Google edition and flashed a different kernel to get WiFi working--when I did WiFi worked but data was broken. Then I tried tri force, data did not work. Finally I tried the one with the weird name (sorry--I know that doesn't help much but I know viper appears in quite a few places in the thread). I am currently on liquid smooth (cm based 10.1) and thankfully it's flawless. I love it but I like variety and I wish I could find a debloated TW rom to play around with. Why it's the data borked on so many of them? I'm not exactly a noob--been an android user for years and I've flashed many a roms. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong, unless there's something different or weird with the s4. Can anyone kindly shed some light on my predicament? I'm now downloading negalite. Gonna see if that one has functioning data. It almost seems as tho you have to flash a custom kernel all the time now to get data. Is this right? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: rom name I couldn't remember is visionX (by the axman)
Been on Triforce since July with KTkernal and haven't had any issues at all. Negalite is a good one, I like it a lot. If you stick with it think about setting up svn as there's lots of updates.

I have no idea why as I've tried everything I can think of and read but aosp runs better on my S4 than tw, as crazy as that sounds its been true for me. I love Aosp so I'm good. I'm on mf9 via otas and tried all recoveries made and always end up with some type of system or phone fc or the "detected an app".. .blah blah warning which annoys the crap outa me so I just stay on aosp as there are a ton of great ones for us and they work wonderfully -the once in a while call bug which I do not come across that much really ams when I do I made a shortcut for fast reboot via rom toolbox and just hit it when it happens and its good.

Yes I am, data, wifi and all that are fine. Haven't had even one reboot with Triforce, battery life is great. I really have not had any issue with it at all, it's rock solid for my phone.

Well I installed negalite and so far it's perfect. Everything seems to be working & it has a great amount of tweaking enabled. Thanks guys. Now I have a solid aosp rom and a solid TW rom. I'm one happy camper.

Just FYI.....If you flash a TW MF9 rom with the stock kernel and WiFi is broken after boot (can and has happened with Negalite, TriForce, etc) there is a modified stock kernel that can be flashed to fix if needed.

I must be lucky, because I have had no such issues with any rom (AOSP or TW). If I flash the stock rooted MF9 rom followed by the stock MF9 kernel, I have wifi and data. Same goes for any other TW rom as well as every AOSP rom I've tried.

I have no idea why this seems only to be happening to my phone... I get zero 4g despite my phone showing 4g. I have updated profile and prl in tw... I have tried twrp and cwm. I just can't get 4g on a aosp ROM. Any help would be appreciated. Both screen shots show speed tests in the same place while I was at work.
It's been known that aosp in Many cases causes this. My last phone epic 4g touch was the same way. Flash stock rom and data speeds back to normal

I have had issues with aosp when I would dirty flash. I'm currently running Carbon and 4g is running great. Just try a clean install. Could also consider that we are mostly on nightlys and unofficial releases. No telling as of yet but I'm getting pretty good speeds on Carbon

I always do a full wipe before I flash a aosp ROM.. I seem to be the only one on the forums having this issue. the only thing I can think of is a bad modem. Haven't found a flashable modem so I may unroot odin stock and reroot and see what that gets me. I only run aosp roms on all my phones...this is killing me

From what I understand we can't flash modems yet. Are you on MDL or MDC? I have had issues with the modem on TW after unrooting on MDL, but they were fixed when I reinstalled the update from Sprint.
Not really sure how the radios interact with AOSP, but could have something to do with the differences between the update.
I would like to hear everyones experience with this,
I remember reading someone did it and had it working,
so any details would ne nice, so that everyone can get a new set of roms!
because everyone knows how limited us sprint folk are, I mean we have like what? 8 or 9 roms?
we need more bad!!
You can run i9505 roms, and I am sure others, I have someone testing it with sprint, but he has been gone for a few days, I suppose....follow my guide, it does not have sprint listed yet, but the concept is the same, in short start off by flashing the rom you want, and before you boot, flash a sprint kernel, then tweak the rest...

a few days ago, I flashed wanam with a sprint kernel. everything was great but I couldn't get data working for the life of me,
i tried everything, i tried freakin, adding sprint apn's, i tried, following a rom porting guide, did not work.
so im stuck on the data, any opinions?
Bump... Has anyone checked out the features on This rom? I might have to backup then try flashing with a sprint kernel.

Can you please tell me how you got hyperdrive rom working, because i cannot for the life of me get the data working. I tried adding apn's but it just sits there and laughs at me
Hi, I'm probably being very idiotic atm but I can't think of any logical issues.
I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S4 i337.. I downgraded from NB1 to MK2, got root, installed safestrap, and attempted to install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544474
It was my understanding this came with Loki-Doki (saw it floating around in a different thread asking if it worked, can find it if nessecary) as a patch. So I downloaded and backed up my stock install, and attempted to install this.
Now the problem is when I boot, it returns me to a bootloop, if you could call that progress.. It vibrates occasionally while bootlooping (samsung - safeboot - blackscreen - vibrate - samsung....). I still have access to safestrap, download mode and so on, if it helps at all. I've also tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537495 WITH loki-doki (as it is explicitly stated) to no success either..
I'm looking for one of two solutions;
how to get stock firmware back, or how to properly install this? Or any variation thereof. . . I don't know what the problem is ahaha
Bumping to say multiple wipes>reflashes later the blue screen has yet to occur, not sure what that was... Bootlooping is the huge problem now!
You can't use that rom. You need a tw based rom. This one is aosp

Guh. Well ****. They should make that more obvious in the OP.. saw no mention of either of those being an issue..
Any similar roms that still have TouchWiz or should I just roll back to OTA 4.4.2?

So will it ever be possible to flash AOSP ROMs on NB1?
Not until the bootloader is unlocked. There is no telling when that will be.

Best bet is to find a ROM that you like, then install the Google Experience Launcher apk. It will give your phone the stock google launcher.

Domination Theme will also extensively theme your touchwiz rom to give it a more complete AOSP look without an AOSP rom.
All right thanks for the help guys.
A little background. I have a S4 vzw and my Girl has the AT&T NC1 Safestrapped. She's not digging Hyper too much or any other VZW ported and flashable rom on her phone. Honestly i'm looking for ROM suggestions? I was honestly thinking stock modified with xposed to the max, but GPS not working for her i guess is an issue... Your thoughts and opinions would be great
Goldeneye 36 flashed with att NC1 modules and att APN build prop file (and supersu). I'm using it no problems.

Thanx for that one. popped it on her phone and she's setting it up and shes at least smiling and not punching me. GPS not locking is i guess an issue with a lot of AT&T roms i'm seeing. know of a fix or anything? This ROM looked cool and easy on aroma and considering im on the Loki bootloader this wasnt too hard to figure out.
Also how can 55 people view this and only 1 response? really people? really? dont help no one out or anything with giving your 2 cents or nothing.
The GoldenEye ROM should not have GPS issues on I337. No trouble on mine.
Process I used: I've got NC1 stock system, towelrooted, supersu, safestrap. Boot to safestrap recovery. Do full advanced wipe except SDcard, then flashed rom, supersu, att NC1 modules, then att APN build prop file. GPS works, WIFI works, no trouble installing any apps, it's all good.
We're you at NC1 baseband to start?
I used GPS all day yesterday on a trip... worked great but man it drains battery on the G4!
Are you sure GPS was working when you started the process?
Maybe others will have suggestions for a fix. Sorry!

her phone was the nk2 version until she got outta jail and i upgraded to nb1 and did the whole update thru stock recovery file to make it nc1. she was running stock modded there for a minute everything working great. she wanted flavor and i switched ROMs for her, tried hyper and couldnt get it working right away and then we had issues so i restored her stock backup. gps was showing 2 blocks 30 m away and wouldnt update position in real time. Flashed to hyper, again, and she ran it for a week no issue, except the dialer not working and no mms. Went to GoldenEye and she's ok with it. havent heard much about gps although we walked my dog last night and it was 20 meters off. (hyper on my phone and hers would lock us within 2-6 meters believe it or not). Shes testing it out in the morning though.
O n i pulled the NC1 modules from that toolkit even though its a different size file than the modules floating around.

So I have another galaxy s4 in the house and it's code name is jflteaio i337z but the thing is the model number is the same as crickets galaxy s4 so dose that mean I could root it and download twrp recovery for it in the name of the Cricket model?

I have an SGH-i337z on Cricket and I was able to root and install TWRP using hroark13's method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...cket-aio-sgh-i337z-jflteaio-twrp-2-7-t2858698)
I've been trying various CM builds, the Google Play Edition ROM and PACMAN, but they all seem to have issues (5GHz WiFi, one app or another not working properly, notification glitches). To be fair, they are AT&T ROMs. Also, it takes a bit of work to install as you have to remove the asserts line from each ROM before installing. But if you just want to root and use TWRP to backup it works fine!

Just out of curiosity, was the GPE ROM you tried the Lollipop one? Also, are there any roms for this phone that work well and stable in your experience?
I haven't tried any lollipop roms yet. The 4.4.4 kitkat GPE ROM was stable with the exception of breaking a music streaming app I use (subsonic). It was also the only ROM that identified the carrier as Cricket instead of AT&T.
Pacman I didn't really like so i can't speak much for its stability.
CM11 can be hit or miss. The nightly seem more stable than the stable or milestone versions usually, but one gave me 5GHz wifi problems. I was never able to use 5GHz with the milestone I tried.
Right now i am using 12/13 nightly CM11 and it has been running very well. I really like the slider shortcuts on the CM lock screen, so I'll probably just stick with CM.

Yes, CM11 is working great! If anything is broken I haven't come across it yet. There are certainly a lot available and any unified or AT&T ROM should work (no need for safestrap), so feel free to try out anything that looks good! I liked GPE and it seemed to work really well until I found it didn't work with one app I use occasionally (subsonic). You might not have any issues with apps you use. I also seemed to get better battery life with GPE. The wifi issue I had with an older CM11 build seems to have been fixed, so that's working well now. The author of the root I used seems to like Skyfall, so you could go that way if you like touchwiz.
Have some fun trying out a couple, and make a backup before installing something different so you can easily go back if you decide you liked one better.

FWIW, I've gotten Goldeneye, Skyfall and stock T-mobile running on my i337z with TWRP.
