1) What are the benefits of CyanogenMod over stock?
2) Is CyanogenMod rooted or do you have to root it separately?
3) Does anyone know if they implemented TextSecure in their stock messaging yet?
4) Is switching back as simple as flashing the stock rom?
Cyanogenmod is better than stock for so many reasons that I'm not going to type them all out. Google that one.
It is a rooted rom.
I have no idea. Check the changelogs at www.get.cm
Yes.
Keep in mind that Cyanogenmod is only available on a very limited number of S4's running <MF3 firmware. For the majority of users who own thus device, it's not even an option.

Googling it came up with conflicting info. My about device page says I337MVLUEMK6, so I should be fine, right?
No. That's a 4.3 OS if I'm correct.

Yup I misread the less than sign. What would happen if I flashed it? Would the device just be bricked?

Just bricked sounds a little light hearted. Yes probably a paperweight. You aren't even going to get as far as putting the custom recovery on it. If you flashed in safestrap you would wind up with a black screen because no kernel support yet.

Having more experience with CM, do you think a version will come out anytime soon for I337MVLUEMK6 or not?

Not until hashcode can get the custom kernel hand off to work with safestrap. Then they could do something. Until then no AOSP Roms will work.

Hi all I'm new to the forum and am seeking advice on the tab.
1. Root or not?
2. Best custom ROM?
3. Common problems with it?
I have had three of these and all came from bby and sent the 3rd one to Asus RMA and still having problems
Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk 2
Guess most of it has already been asked around here.
Root? Sure, if you want, nothing bad about root. But be careful, without reading you can end up with a brick. So if you do it, read! Don't necessarily read all threads about people complaining about their bricked devices - scared me as far as not to root it before having nvflash (if that'll ever be available again that is...)
Custom ROM? Depends on what you like, though if you're using a dock you should stick to CleanROM. As far as I heard this is the only ROM that really supports dock.
Common problems. Well, I think there's some thread where people talk about their experience with some problems

They both grant the user root access so it's basically the same thing.

I HATE THE STOCK ROM,
Is there a way to have it stay on performance and not default to Balanced?????

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...

i tried everything, i tried freakin, adding sprint apn's, i tried, following a rom porting guide, did not work.

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
So I could not get the phone to root (super user binary issue) and I installed that SetUID kernal and now my phone will not boot. Can someone please guide me to a fix. Thanks
Set uid kernel? What are you talking about? The sprint gs4 doesn't gave a kernel like that.

Crap I just realized that it is a T-mobile thing. Am I completely screwed now?...should have following my rule and read twice downloaded once.
If you did flash a kernel with that name, it would explain your boot problems.
Flash one for the Sprint S4 and all will be good.

Any of the appropriate kernels from the original development section will get you up and running. You'll just have to pick one for whatever rom you were one (4.3, 4.4, tw, aosp, etc)

How do I get into stock recovery? Tried up, mid, power. Just flashes the galaxy screen and turns off.
Ok so found out that I can get into recov with power plugged in. So battery is low. But now did fact reset and still galaxy screen the now just blue led black screen
ok so I am back running. installed mk2_stock02 from Dev page. Was able to get CWM booting and loaded the ROM from there. My next question, probably has been answered but this is where my problem started before. When I go to open the SuperSU I get an error saying there is no SU Binary installed....and then closes.
Install super su from market

alright Im back in action. used CF-auto root and away we went. Now I have successfully rooted my gear also. Thanks for the Help guys I really appreciate it.
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?

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.
After trying many different ways and failing I finally did some research and have found that the Verizon Note 3 has a locked bootloader and should not be able to flash any AOSP based ROM. Is there any way to work around this with root/and or recovery? I find myself unable to even flash CWM to the device and when it did seem to work it told me there was an application not supported by the system and to take it to Verizon. So had to reflash stock 4.4.2 and re-root. I have gotten to try CM 12 on my fiancé's OnePlus One and fell in love. Is there any known work around short of buying a new phone?
Sent from my SM-N900V
None. ASOP requires a different kernel which we can't do with locked bootloader. Sorry!
Well crap. I don't suppose there's any way to unlock the bootloader either is there?
