[Q] S4 S-Health in custom roms?

Hey guys, I decided to flash a custom rom onto my i9505 a few days back and i'm wondering how I'd get the S4 version of S-Health back.
Thanks.

Bump, I'd really like to keep this custom ROM.

Luck.
Likely, the only way is to steal the apk out of the stock rom, then try to install it on your phone in the custom rom, and hope it doesn't require TW.

I tired that, it doesnt work.

Here is a working apk

It should work with TW based roms, it might work with 'hybrid' roms, it won't work with AOSP roms (at least not as is & without significant re-working/porting).
But as you didn't even bother to give us such basic info as what rom you're using, how do you honestly expect people to give you meaningful help ? You've been here long enough to know what info you need to provide if you're going to ask for help in Q&A.

[Q] Trying to get a rom for MF3

Hi guys, fairly new to Android, been an iPhone user for a very long time. Didn't like it, but they were always JB. I got the S4 and was hoping to get it in a custom rom since all this AT&T jargon is annoying. Not to mention the slow stock apps and useless apps.
Heres my phone specs.
ANDROID VERSION: 4.2.2
MODEL: SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
BASE BAND VERSION: I337UCUAMF3
BUILD NUMBER: JDQ39.I337UCUAMF3
It's an MF3 to the max I believe. And as far as I have seen, there is no option for it using any AOSP roms or any roms that use the 4.4. roms.
I may be wrong and was wondering what my options are for custom roms? I would like to go cyagen or google, but it seems I may be out of luck with either. I can't find help on the forums since most people claim they got a rom, while many others claim its impossible, while others have bricked phones. I dont even know which recover to use.
My phone is rooted, I have clockwork.

Unless you can boot into clockwork, you don't have it. Chances are your recovery is broken at the moment. Your only option on MF3 is to use Safestrap, and if you stay on MF3 then you can use a 4.2.2 Google Edition ROM but that's the most you'll get besides other touchwiz. Otherwise, if you do have clockwork then you're either still on MDL with an MF3 ROM or on a different model. There's plenty of threads with information.

Awesome. Thank you for the information. You may be right with the Clockwork being broken. I do get into the boot load but I don't think I got a recovery. OK so my best options are a 4.2.2 google edition rom. How about with cyogen? If you can point me to the proper forums I'd gladly stop annoying you lol. I'm sorry for being difficult. It's hard for me to dig for information correctly.

Keep Digging. You have a lot to learn. Read up on what you can and can not do on mf3. Look for safestrap

Mf3 shostock v2.3 was good... Try rooted stock with the wanam clean up w.e apps you don't need... Regardless its only TW and I'm holding off updating faithfully

you won't be able to use cyanogen, it's aosp
and you will have to use the recovery that comes with safestrap--no custom recoveries or kernels
you can, i believe update to mk2 and with latest Safestrap 3.7? and use 4.3 roms. not expert on SafeStrap as I don't need it, so not 100% on that
first step is getting recovery back

Everyone thanks a lot for the replies. I will look into all that was said and see what my best options are. Whether to update to mk2 and get 4.3 roms but risk the update or keep mf3 and hope for some custom recoveries.

[Q]cm11 on mk2?

im driving myself insane reading threads and getting confused. i just got an s4 i337 and its running mk2. i really want to run cm11 or atleast a stock aosp rom. im not enjoying touchwiz at all. am i even able to do that? i got saferoot and safestrap but after that im confused.

Negative. Only touchwiz based roms will work with 4.3 MK2.
Your best bet is using an AOSP themed ROM such as blackbox or purified. You can find some more info here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2616221
Or, more simply, install a new launcher such as apex or nova and then you won't have to worry about touchwiz

That's extremely disappointing. I'm really starting to hate this phone and I think I'm going to call att tomorrow and see if I can get something else. Perhaps an htc one or lg g2. But this isn't going to work out. This is not the level of customization I want. Touch wiz goes deeper than just the launcher, and what happens in another year or two when att stops providing updates? No, I'm done and I don't want this thing anymore. Bad ATT and bad Samsung.

I'm no expert, but anything other than MDB and MDL means a locked bootloader. AFAIK that means, all safestrap does is let you load a different rom, but that rom has to be based on the touchwiz kernel. That means no AOSP and that means no CM11. I'm in the same boat.

Hello,
Sorry to revive this after several months of inactivity, but I have exactly the same problem and am confused by the information I have found on XDA, possibly a fault of my own. I have a Galaxy S4 AT&T i337 with MK2 4.3, and I want to run CM11.
A much much more tech savvy friend of mine setup my phone in January 2013 with CM11 using the TWRP recovery. It originally was just the AT&T stock everything. Unfortunately, I no longer have contact with him, and I have no idea how he did any of this . I was specifically running the build from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2383143, which is now here: http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/galax...h_app2sd_glove_mode_dual_boot_for_all_s4.html
Since then it updated automatically to the last nightlies without any issues. Two days ago, however, I updated, and my phone went into a boot loop. I booted into recovery and tried to flash the last version that worked, but that resulted in my phone staying in a boot loop without being able to boot into recovery. I then used Odin to flash the original firmware and stock ROM, and now it works fine, but I miss CM11 very badly (or more accurately I find the stock ROM annoying in comparison).
The previous posts here indicate that CM11 cannot be installed on the i337 MK2. Also, this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42320414&postcount=2 lead me to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428254 which says "Also, at this time, only TW based ROMs will work with SS. CM, AOSP, AOKP, MIUI, etc will not work." But I do not actually understand the difference between Safestrap and TWRP enough to know whether or not Safestrap not allowing CM11 means this model won't allow CM11 at all.
I would like to understand why there is indication that CM11 cannot be put on the i337 MK2 when my friend somehow succeeded. Then perhaps we can succeed in devising a method to install CM11 on this model. I apologize for not having any proof that it worked, but I swear I ran CM11 on this exact model and firmware build for many months very happily.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this discrepancy? Sorry if this is a naive/stupid post. Thanks in advance to anyone who chimes in.

[Q] Help with ROMs on AT&T Galaxy S4

I feel like I've spent two whole days downloading and flashing stuff on my phone, and to no avail, nothing has worked. In your opinion, what's the best way to get _________ ROM on your AT&T Galaxy S4? I'm currently downgrading from NB1 to MK2 because I thought it'd be easier, but I thought I should ask everyone else first. I'd honestly just like to get Cyanogen Mod on my phone and call it a day, so what would be the easiest way to go about it?
Edit: I can root my phone just fine, but I'm basically asking for what version my phone should have as well as the easiest procedure to get me a custom ROM on my phone.

Currently there is no way to install AOSP/AOKP ROMs. The ROMs that can be installed are listed in the all things att thread

Rom Question

Hey guys.. I don't have an s4 for AT&T as I am with another carrier but My friend does and she wants to get rid of all the bloat. I rooted the phone and safe strap for her but she isn't local for me to try the roms out to see which is best. She is a basic user that is looking for stability and battery life with no tweaks. I see Ib4stid has a few roms out that seem simple but was hoping to get some feedback on which would be the best Rom debloated and solid battery life. Thanks in advance

First off she could get in big trouble if she is not experienced on flashing. Have her back up before doing anything.
iB has very stable roms and gives the option to flash a slim version along with SafeStrap all in Aroma. But, you may lose some things you want like SMemo?
Both need to read the OP very carefully. But, I think she will like the roms. I love his KangaKat rom. VERY stable. Not TW. I use Nova launcher because you can easily back up and restore homescreens including widgets--
Good Luck :good:

Thanks for the flashing concerns. I have an m8 with Verizon and an s4 with Verizon as well. I am a crack flasher lol.I was more concerned with just which roms were recommended because of the fact I can't switch between them myself and try. I don't see her often either. Want to make sure I make the best choice. I know each device is different but was just gathering information in the meantime. Thanks for your feedback

My error, sorry. Forgot you said SafeStrap. Nix KangaKat it won't work on her build. Stay with his TW rom. His Golden Eye 37 is SafeStarp compatible. You can select SafeStrap in Aroma. But, has special flash instructions in OP.
Here is the link from the OP for SafeStrap--

I am on the early S4 build so not expert at SafeStrap flashing. May be other things to consider.
Good Luck :good:

Was looking at sky fall but if you think g.e. is better I will try that

never tried it but give it a whirl, won't know till she flashes it--
you probably do it too, but I like reading last 20 pages or so after OP to see how recent versions are running, or not running--:good:

I flashed this rom last night and is working like a champ, battery seems to be very good, is a GPE ROM, you can flash it with SafeStrap. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/development/rom-google-edition-s4-t2837239. To get wifi working, you need the flash the modules found on the OP
