Hello all,
I picked up a Galaxy S4 when ATnt discounted a "certified new" off contract device for $190 a few weeks back.
I upgraded it from my nexus 4 and well.. I just prefer the look of stock android, however the better screen, battery life and LTE are great reasons to upgrade.
I was wondering if there was a 4.4.2 KitKat rom for this device ( SGH-i337 ) that will resemble the look and feel of my Nexus4.
My device has the latest bootloader so the LOKI method will not work
Thanks for the input.
EDIT: my device is rooted with safestrap installed on the latest OTA

Blackbox 3.0 or Purified/Goldeneye with Domination theme are the closest you can get to AOSP.

I would also keep an eye on Eclipse rom. It is the only Touchwiz/AOSP hybrid rom that actually has an authentic AOSP pull-down and notification. It also has a whole bunch of AOSP stuff. The kitkat version of the rom will be released soon I think.

Make sure you follow the instructions from this thread.
Scroll down the the 4.4.2 rom section and there is a step by step how-to.
More importantly, make sure you're installing only Touchwiz-based roms, since you're bootloader locked and on safestrap.

So I recently got this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428254. I got the DEODEX version, and when I try to turn wifi on, it just switches back to off. I tried clicking the WiFi fix links in the thread, but they wouldn't work. What do I do? I have a SGH-I337, by the way.

What can you do?
For one thing you can flash a custom rom which is a finished product.
But if you want to fool around with Google Edition roms you can try this little trick,
reboot the phone and toggle the wifi on and off 3 or 4 times waiting about 10 seconds
between toggling. For some people this little trick temporarily fixed the wifi issue.

I am assuming that you have never done an OTA and updated to the official
MF3 4.3 firmware yet, if you have done an OTA MF3 update then ignore this post.
There are no google edition 4.3 roms which are safestrap compatible as of yet.
So far only the Jellybean Touchwiz 4.2.2 custom roms are compatible with it.
The only reason that your phone is working with the google edition rom
is because it's based on version 4.2.2 rom.
None of the developers are going to create a full featured custom google
edition 4.2.2 rom since the official 4.3 firmware is available.
However if you want to try a full featured Touchwiz Jellybean custom rom
which I would highly suggest.
This custom rom is based on the Samsung Galaxy S4 Touchwiz Jellybean 4.2.2 firmware.
It's called "Darthstalker v9" and it's really excellent.

It will explain it all to you in great detail, the thread also has links where you can
go directly to the custom rom thread and download "Darthstalker v9" rom & others.
Currently there are only three full featured custom roms which are fully compatible with MF3.
Darthstalker v9 is one of them and it was very recently updated.
You will see the links to them on the very first post.
Good luck!

Hi, you said you forgot to flash the kernel modules to get wifi working with MF3, but when you did, wifi was working correctly. I cant FOR THE LIFE of me figure out how to get my wifi working. I flashed the "jflteatt-MF3-modules.zip" file from Hashcode's safestrap forum, but cannot get it to work. Ive also wiped everything and tried flashing the rom and module again, but no luck. Do you have links or can you tell me which kernel I should be flashing please? I really love Darthstalker and this is the only thing holding me back..
EDIT: Nevermind... Thank you anyway.. I re-downloaded the module and re-did the whole flashing process. Its working now.. Weird. Ive done the same thing atleast 5 times.. Oh Well.. Im happy now! :victory:

I didn't see anyone mention it so i'll tell you - this is a simple fix.
If you are running MF3 and are using this GPE Rom 4.2.2 via SafeStrap, you need to simply flash the kernel for MF3 AFTER you've flashed the GPE Rom.
You can A.) Wipe your current Rom-Slot, flash the ROM itself then immediately flash the kernel provided at (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448925) ---> Just above "Manually remove SafeStrap"
Or you can B.) Just flash the kernel zip package over the same Rom-Slot you have the Google Play Edition Rom 4.2.2 on.
I've search but maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I am wondering which Rom would be compatible with my phone. What exactly am I looking for in the description to know if it will work. My phone is rooted and has Safestrap installed. Sorry if this has been discussed already.

From my understanding that is an aosp rom and safe strap does not support those kind of roms yet. Safe strap for 4.3 is fairly new and there is not many roms compatible yet. Pol have been having different results with roms

Swyped from MK2 Deadly Venom SS
First of all, thanks for reading this...
Here goes the story. I have a Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 AT&T. Yesterday I updated to 4.4.2 OTA. The idea of flashing to google edition ROM came into my mind so I did some research. I found 4.4.2 with NB1 baseband cannot be rooted and it has to downgrade to 4.3 first. So I followed this link:
[NB1►DOWNGRADE★UPDATE◄MK2] ★ [NB1 FULL ODIN] ★ [100% SS ROOTED STOCK] ★ [Mar.23.2014]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663545
to do so. Everything worked fine. I installed Safestrap-v3.71. Then, I downloaded GOOGLE EDITION 4.4.2 BY Danvdh from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537495) and followed this link:
http://www.teamandroid.com/2014/01/...42-kitkat-danvdh-google-edition-custom-rom/2/
to install Danvdh GE 4.4.2. The post said it needs CWM however I was unable to install CWM on my phone so I assume Safestrap should work the same. I used Safestrap to install the zip and got a successful message.
HOWEVER, when I reboot the phone, it just keeps rebooting (i.e., power on, Samsung logo, black, vibrate and reboot again)!!
Please help!!
Oh, I did not flash Loki doki. Is that causing the problem???
I don't think that rom will work with ss. If you have an i337 I think you need a mdl firmware.

Yes, safestrap. You can not install cwm on your device. You can only use ss and touch wiz based roms. You might have to Odin back to mk2 and start over

There is a guide below with all the answers you seek young Android flashing apprentice. Please slow down & read it thoroughly before flashing anything. Reading saves phones! If the method or rom you want isn't posted in the guide, it can't be done on your MK2 S4. All the roms that will work on MK2 firmware are listed as well as the way to flash the listed Kit Kat roms too. I recommend you try the At&t roms 1st instead of the international versions. Please thank the op in the threads that help you. Good luck. :fingers-crossed:

You can't flash any AOSP roms with safestrap, only Touchwiz based ones. Your bootloader is locked so it's impossible for you to flash any vanilla android or google edition roms.
The "I337UCUFNB1 100% Stock Rooted ROM" is basically stock GS4 Touchwiz firmware that is rooted.

After it fully successfully finished, I click home and boot into download mode where I flash the ap/bl/cp files from the Deadly Venom KitKat Magic Tool. It then reboots, and after the Samsung custom(with the lock), it fully goes black.

Did you wipe data anywhere in there? If not, do that. If you did, Gravitron does seem to take longer to boot first time than other ROMs so give it time.

But how long?
Its always best to do a clean wipe (everything except sdcard in advanced wipe of safestrap) before flashing another rom

AOSP lockscreen

I have been using this rom for a while on my att s4 . I recently checked out the eclipse rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351840) . Due to some problems of that rom i changed back to Graviton. One thing i really liked in Eclipse is the stock lockscree. Is there any way to add that in this rom? i tried to post the question in the rom devlopment post but couldn't. Any guide on how to do that?
Thanks

There is a guide by didact74 in the VZW section, but I don't think that has been updated for KitKat. There are Xposed modules that do the same thing.

Thank you so much for your reply!!!
I checked his guide..... Those steps are far beyond my ability :crying: Most i can do is flash zip files and editing build prop :laugh:
I tried his flashable zip file . That didnt work. I think that only works with stock rom. I tried xposed module . didnt work either :crying:
If it's not too much to ask. is there any chance you can make a flashable zip specific for your rom? :good::good::good:
Thank you again!!!!!!!!

I always had that mod in Graviton, but no one seemed to use it. I kinda miss it as an option, so I'll add it to the next update.

Hi All,
Appreciate the guides and community here. Looking for a little help on my ATT S4 KitKat 4.4.2. It's rooted via Towelroot.
I want to run a custom rom that isn't slow. I have Odin, proper Samsung USB drivers.
1) Can CNW be used on my phone to boot to recovery? If not, what are the alternatives and how do I use them (is there a guide you can share)?
2) Do I have NC1 on my phone, what the heck is NC2, NC1-what does this mean, is it relevant?
Thanks all
-Christian
If you have updated your phone to the att 4.4.2 firmware then you should be on NC1 which means you cannot put cwm or any CM rom. The only recovery you can use is safestrap. After that you can only flash rooms the specifically say safestrap compatible and you must flash the att_nc1 module after flashing rom for WiFi to work. Read the safestrap thread under the development section before doing anything.

Yes, I would also read over All Things ATT/MK2 etc in General--:good:
Those numbers NC1 etc are your build version. Can be found under Settings/About Phone. It will dictate what you can and can't do on your phone--We have no NC2 yet. :good:

Thanks. I have nb1. No luck getting safe strap to take. Install completes but does not recognize status as installed or allow boot to recovery.
I have rooted, supersu, busybox, and no luck with safestrap. Any ideas.
Upon booting I notice an icon that looks like a unlocked lock beneath the samsung logo. Touching it does nothing...
Thanks for getting back to me

I don't use safestrap. So not sure. Did you wipe all including system. And flash to correct slot. Stock slot I believe. Use correct safestrap. Also need sellinux, spelling? The lock is suppose to be there if rooted. Read the last 20 pages of the hash code safestrap thread plus the op. And same on All Things ATT/MK2 in General. May give some ideas. ☺

Aha! Safestrap running and custom ROM installed. Is there an index comparing all Safestrap/Touchwiz based roms? Runnign SHO right now and it's pretty bland (resolution looks low too).
I'm looking for something like a stock nexus experience with WiFi tethering.
thanks for the help mates

Not sure on index. Best though to try them yourself as they don't always work the same on different phones.

Iam all for custom ROMS. I made one for the Tab3. If all you want is the stock Nexus experience, you could just download the Google Now Launcher which is Google release the AOSP launcher. Then if you want the individual AOSP apps, you can do a search here or a google search, and you will find XDA threads that provide the apps with installation instructions.
