Hey guys, first off I would like to say that Im new to the forum again, and if this is in the wrong spot, go ahead flame away lol.
I'm having a hard time finding a good rom for the Sprint S4 that can include the wifi tether. every application that I use gets denied by the phone's system. What im looking for is a rom that allows me to use the wifi tether, and keep the IR functions. I used to have the HTC and Droids and didn't have a issue like im having with the new s4....Can someone help lead me in the proper direction.

Do I need gaps or anything. Right now I'm running cm10.2
Flash a touch wiz rom.. just about every TW rom has hotspot hacked out the gate.. no need for wifi teather
I believe sacs rom is TW so most Google Apps are included. Read the OP and try it out. ..

Just flash hot spot mod zip on your stock rom, no need to flash a rom...btw I tryd a couple roms and always end up back to sacs roms

Looks like it's pretty unanimous, If you want a rom, check out sacs custom rom. It's based off stock so you won't lose any features, and it's tweaked to where some people are pulling over 30 hours of battery life
4 out of 5 people have recommended it
Let me also recommend sacs' rom. It's reason I rooted my phone.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4
so the sacs rom wont need to have a secondary anything for the hotspot to be active and pass the block sprint has.
SACs is awesome! Everything works and hotspot will work as if you were paying sprint for it.
Sac's ROM FTW!! I' on 42% right now with 1 hr 45 min on screen time and total of almost 20 hrs! I dare any other ROM to beat that

Just take some time before you root. Make sure it not defective and just give it a test run so you know after you root its not causing you problems
Members are expected to research and read through the development threads before altering their device. The only thing you will get here is a list of all the ROM's because every member has found what is best for them. You can get the same list by looking at the first few pages in development. Try each Rom out until you find what you are looking for.
Thread closed.
Have a great day!

Can u make a deBloated version ?
Remove all and every junk Verizon thing ?
Also need the GSM part to work so having the ability to flash the Aussie Radio on it is a must.
I am interested =)
Interested, would like some debloatation of the stock rom maybe kill the google search bar at the top to regain some screen real estate.
Also have the setting turn on for hot spot so those of us with unlimited data can easily go in and mod it. I cant seem to get the setting turned on keeps telling me i need to call Verizon.
And and and lol
reboot & sleep mode back for JB (ie when the power button is pushed) not sure if its easy or not just a wish list.
If nothing else would be happy with just the stuff in the first line. But a fella can dream right.

Just throwing this out there... deodexed and zipaligned.
I'm sure anyone who publishes a tweaked rom that is STABLE enough to be a daily driver is good for anyone.
shucks. build it man. ill throw it on my phone for a try.

how do u flash it without doing safestrap because i am much more comfortable flashing then safestrapping
If you're on a retail M you don't flash w/o safestrap... Ever. Unless somebody finds an unlock bootloader leak like on the S3 (not gonna happen)

How do I flash DSPManager on the stock ROM? I can't stand not having it and I don't really like any of the custom ROMs.. and I am working with very limited space, so a custom ROM really is t an option for that reason alone. I recall a way to flash things without using recovery, but forgot what program did it..
Hello Everyone I have a few quick questions. I searched the web for answers but none turned up. I am very new to rooting phones but I love stock android so bad, I must have it. So here are my questions concerning rooting my SGs4.
I have rooted my nexus 4 and put Cyanogenmod on it in the past, is the process the same for the sgs4?
The sgs4 has many features iv never seen on Cyanogenmod, I could be wrong so will all my s4 features still work?
Finally whats this Build MF9 mean? iv recently bought my s4 does this build apply to me?
MF9 is the text code for the date the software was released. Go to settings - more - about device and look at your build number to see which version you are on. If not mf9 do the software update.
None of the touchwiz apps will work natively on an AOSP based rom but many of them (not all) have alternatives in the play store market
We should be getting an upadate to android 4.3 starting tomorrow so you may want to hold off and see how you like that first.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Yeah and all of the fancy gestures like the smart stay, smart scroll, air view and air gestures will not work on AOSP from my understanding. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

As these people stated are true but to be honest if you plan to root do not update to 4.3 unless some devs says is a go for rooting. And if you do decide to upgrade, you might stay without root for awhile.
A rooted verson will be out before the OTA goes out.. The source is already available
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Thank you all I read everyone's post, very helpful. I do have build number ending in mf9 so I think I'm good to root.
I don't think update will be cool and I don't need Samsungs bloat ware, truthfully I haven't used not one of their features.
I have had an amazing experience on cyanogen mod with my nexus 4.
Also I hear battery is amazing on Cm on gs4

Sent from my Beans Powered N3 using xda app-developers app
I've been using Hyperdrive since the first build came out for Note 3 and the thing I like most about it is the battery life. I unplug at between 5 and 7am and by the time I go to bed at night I'm usually still around 75 - 80%. Of course it runs much smoother for me than stock does and I like the customizations that come along with it as well. I tried to flash Beans last night just to check it out but for some reason it wouldn't boot so I just restored my nandroid. I'm planning on flashing Beans when I get a little more time and checking it out but for now I'm extremely pleased with Hyperdrives performance on my device.
Eclipse
Im gonna wait on Nitro and his fabulous eclipse rom, it will be awesome, right now running stock trimmed out.
Try both and see if you like either one better than stock.

Might as well do this. With SafeStrap, you can load up multiple ROMS and switch as your heart desires. Honestly, don't know why phones with unlocked bootloaders don't have a Recovery that allows ROM slots. Seems to make perfect sense so you can load up more than one ROM. Just like partitioning your hard drive and running Windows on one side and Linux on the other. You can chose what you want to use, when you want to. Cant beat it.
But to answer your question, I am running HyperDrive since version 1. Havent really tried Beans. Sure it runs just as good. I am just happy with Hyper right now.
Stock with xposed framework and modules. While i appreciate everything the dev's do, development is not far enough along to leave stock with xposed yet.
Also on stock with too many mods in xposed to count. I seriously can't see any reason to flash a rom. I'm consistently getting up to 2 days uptime and I have all the mods I could ever want.

So i struggled for the longest time why one rom on my phone would play nicer than the other , if they both use the same base.
So I formulated a theory , which can be really wrong , so take it with a grain of salt: Currently I have close to 120 user apps and wanam xposed with multiple customizations. I feel like your set is up is the reason why one rom will be buggy with poor battery life and other will be phenomenal. That is why you will find people swearing with one and hating the other. It is hard to find a perfect rom for all, since android varies tremendously due to its wonderful inherent ability to be customized.
of course you can also argue for coding, build boxes and smali skills.
which goes back to the main point, you need to try it out because compatibility between the developer's build and your set up is key to the perfect rom combination
so dont be startled if you try a rom that others rave about and it sucked on your phone , just move on and vice versa.

If you aren't using SafeStrap 3.65, you're missing out on the ability to test up to 5 ROM's at once. If you are, my apologies for misunderstanding your post.

Tried beans and didn't provide that much customization. And battery was horrendous on all of the builds for me. Hyperdrive has more customization way way way better battery for me and I'm beta testing for him.

Yes, I have the latest version of SafeStrap and I know you can flash multiple ROMs at once.

I totally agree with you there. My battery life on HyperDrive is ridiculous. I can go almost two days before I need to plug my phone in. I'm very satisfied with HD and don't plan on switching anytime soon. I ended up staying on RLS2 cause my theme was causing my phone to reboot whenever I pressed the lock button after I took the RLS3 update, but overall HD is a very solid ROM and I'm quite content with it.
I just recently flashed the newest hyperdrive update RLS3 On 11/27 I'm having problems on the power menu doesn't show the power off also in the very top next to the clock it shows a lock icon what is it there for and can I remove it

So i traded my gs4 for the lg g2. And i love it but i noticed that my battery life is very inconsistent. Sometimes its amazing, and other times it just drains like crazy without me using it at all. And my gps keeps turning on, i already read about the carrier iq, and i turn it off but that keeps on coming back on. And it still says my gps is on even though its not so on my battery usage android system is number one now wiht like 85%. This just started happening. So i was thinking of rooting to get rid of all these problems, would that solve these issues im having? Also i would like to know if i do root my phone is it possible for me to still keep my current lg skin that originally came with the phone? If rooted can knock on still work? can q slide still work? I love this phone a lot more than my gs4 but these problems are driving me crazy. Any advice and help is greatly appreciated. Also i have no previous experience in rooting. If someone could elaborate why rooting is necessary for this phone or not.

You can root and flash a custom rom based on the stock rom, which will help you keep all of LG's features, or you can flash a rom such as carbon rom and have 4.4.2 kitkat, which has amazing battery life!

Are you sure that all the features will work because i saw that if you root then its possible for the knock on to work but not the knock off. I just want to take off this carrier iq and location services thats killing my battery.

You can use screen offs to get the same type of knock off with using Alex or nova launcher. That's only needed for aosp based Roms. Also they have a fiction for knock off on status bar on most aosp Roms.
If you stick with stock based Roms. Like madallus and others, knock off works just as it does stock because it uses the lg kernel.

Knock Off works aswell in most kitkat roms, but you have to double tap the status bar, you cant double tap anywhere to screen off.
