BUG!
I have problems with the ROM, when no stack, no single load cell is restarted. HEEEEEEEEELP!
yo tengo problemas con la ROM, cuando no tiene pila, no carga el celular solo se reinicia. AYUDAAAA!!

Sorry, but I honestly don't have any idea what you mean here. Those are terms not really used when dealing with rom issues.
But the simple solution is to flash stock, factory reset and start again.
Beyond that, we'd need a better description of the problems.

Queartion about flashing
So i am on cyanogenmod 11 4.4.4 right now. I noticed it says you will need a 4.3 modem and bootloader. What does that mean? Am I not able to flash this rom? Sorry for the dumb question, I am new to rooting and flashing roms.

That is referring to your base firmware version. When you flash firmware via Odin, it flashes multiple partitions to what ever build is being flashed. This includes the bootloaders, modem, and others. You can then flash roms on top of that, but the base firmware would remain unchanged. Roms only flash the system and boot (kernel) partitions (sometimes data too).
For the 4.4.2 TouchWiz roms to work, that base firmware MUST be at least a 4.3 build.
To check what you currently have, install and open Terminal Emulator from the store and enter this:
getprop ro.bootloader
It will tell you your current base firmware/bootloader version. If it's not a 4.3 or 4.4.2 build, you have to update before flashing the rom.

It says I747UCDLK3, do I have to flash an update to the bootloader?

Weather on Lockscreen
Is there a way to get the weather on the lock screen of a At&t galaxy S3 4.4.2 KK Rom like the attached picture?
There is no "additional Information" selection under the main lock screen setting.

Likewise Galaxy S5 Rom for Galaxy S3
Can anyone confirm if this rom works well with SGH-i747M from Bell Mobile? Also, if I download this, will I still be able to recieve OTA updates? And if not, will Samsung Kies still detect it? And if so, would it install at all or what?
Does anyone have a guide with steps on how to flash this properly?
Any help at all would be appreciated, I'm still bit of a newbie at this... :/

You can only get ota if you are 100% full stock. No root, no mods, no custom anything.
You flash just like any other rom or mod. If you are not familiar with this, I highly recommend you don't do anything until you've read the sticky threads and searched the forums for remaining questions or concerns.

For those who wanted the weather on the lock screen like the attached picture: Note I am a total noob who just likes fiddling around. I do not know why or how this worked but.... I am running Enewman17 S5-EXperience Rom Found in the Likewise S5 thread.
1. renamed the SecSettings, SecSettings Porvider, and Keygard to .bak. in the priv-app using root explorer.
2. I used the SecSettings, SecSettings Provider, and Keygard from the S5 Sensation Rom and placed them into the priv-app and changed the premissions rw-r-r.
3. Reboot. Upon rebooting I got FC on settings but once the phone settled FC never happened again.
4. Go into the settings, lockscreen, then select additional settings, toggle on and select weather on lock screen.
5. Lock the screen to notice the affect.
6. I had to repeat steps 4 and 5 a few times for some reason but now Bam! its working. Hopefully the geniuses working on Likewise can get the UPSM to work and we will have a full blown S5 Rom. Awesome Job guys!

I have actually flashed my phone back to the official firmware because I was on cyanogenmod at one point and didn't like it and tried to figure out if there was a way to go back to the stock rom, I had people help me on a different forum site though.
All I really want is a touchwiz rom that doesn't lag every two seconds, Samsung has too much bloat on their phones D:

There are a number of 4.3 roms you can try, and theres Likewise, TMS3KK and S3Rx built from 4.4.2.
All are great roms and you can always remove a lot of the bloat that you dont like. Likewise does have a heavier memory footprint though. But thats understandable and it still hasnt caused me any problems.
I agree with you about cm, but ive hardly ever had a single issue running on Touchwiz.
And dont take my response as not wanting to help. Im always happy to help folks out, but on xda it goes a long way with everyone if you are willing to take the time to try to help yourself first. Thats why I suggest reading the stickies. It can be a lot, but theres a lot of great info there that can help you on many ways.

A few more questions, what do you mean by "stickie"?
And I noticed you have a "light" version of the ROM, but there's two different ones, what's the difference between them?
Also, in the regular rom the google drive link doesn't work, and the other link you have has multiple download links inside it, is it just the top one?
What do you mean by "4.3 modem and bootloader?" And how can I check if I have these things? Will it work if my phone is already at stock 4.4.2?
Is this rom compatible with Samsung Kies? I am asking because I need it to restore all my data if I manage to flash this successfully
Last question, would you recommend this rom as a daily driver? Also, whenever you release a new version, do I download it like any other software update? Where I can do it in the phone itself without any hassle?

Hello. On the latest version 4.4 is there a way to add screen shot to the power menu? Also awesome job on 4.4!!

Feature requerst
Hi,
Your rom is very good, but i think, is can to a better if getting to merge into this mod: [YKG] Real Xperia Z3 Super Stereo Sound
I think this sound mod is very-very good, and useful. This add a stereo feature for a loud speaker default (nearly, but better than the default), add a clearer sound quality for headphones, and more..
I think this is can to make a more better EVO 10 version in the future.
Thanks, for the listening, and sorry if my english is not the best

as you guys know, this rom worked perfectly with the 4k mod, it just that z1c phone have poor camera that didnt even look like 20.7mp cam. even the camera is poor when an image is zoom in when compared to others like samsung nexus.
and yes i admit that this is a phone not a camera n its a 2013 phone .
in my case the 4k and timeshift are fully working but the quality isnt near enough as 4k as its should be, mine would say 4k vid can be zoom, crop without any pixelated nor blurry.
in z1c the vid is ridiculously big in size and i would say stock cam is sufficient enough . this rom really really good as far as until today,i just do clean install and until now never had cam freeze, maybe in some phone are having freeze depending on manufacture, again really nice rom for daily use

Network issues (radio/baseband)
Hi there, I think this rom is awesome however I am having trouble getting anything above 2G. I have tried flashing stock .108 and .157 (latest) basebands without wipe etc and still can't get it to work. I think my variant is UK. Can anyone send me a working radio/baseband file please? I think the files within a stock rom FTF file should be amss_fs_2.sin, amss_fs_1/sin, amss_fsg.sin, and loader.sin. If could extract these files that work and share a link with us that would be great!
UPDATE: Downloading an older ROM where its baseband worked in the past for me http://dl.weeaboo.com/Z1Compact/D5503_14.2.A.1.114_Generic%20UK.ftf however I get signal drops.

There's no point in flashing your phone without wiping data, the difference between the kernels of the different builds will leave you with an unstable or badly performing system.
No one has reoprted no network in the KitSlim thread, that I know of. Most problems arise from a bad install where the instructions were not followed and a full wipe not completed. Wipes between firmware builds are essential because of the reason just mentioned.
If you are keen to get the latest firmware then you should head over to IaguCool' s thread on Xperia Firmware Downloader & Checker. Follow the instructuions there. You will need a copy of Flashtool and it'd be good to read the thread on 'how to' as all the instructions are there, rather than jump to the last page and ask, which is what everybody does.
A fresh wipe with the latest baseband is bound to sort your problems, then if that fixes it you can always make you way back to KitSlim

I did do a full wipe you see but you are right, after a full reinstall of the stock .108 I was able to get the network back. I was doing it right all along but for some reason when I was about to download network settings my provider (EE) was not listed. Gave them a ring and they sent me the configuration and now it's working better than previously (no signal drop outs). I know very well how to use the Flashtool and where to get it in addition to the stock roms and no I did not just jumped to the last page and ask. There are people out there who exhaust all possibilities before asking for help you know. No one having issues with network you say? Then perhaps you are the one who needs read or should I say search the thread. I will give you a hint, search for terms "radio" and "baseband" and you will all of them with no clearly stated fix. Had this issue in the past with dual recovery and root flash on stock with locked bootloader; exhausted that thread as well!

[quote name="jshotkid" post=57374400]So I have running this rom for about 2 months or so and still loving it ! How ever I have only been able to successfully enter TWRP once and that when i flashed the rom. Volume up when you see the sony logo i thought but it just vibrates and boots up. Ive been running into some bugs like it tells me SU binary needs to be updated but I cant. Also ill be selling my device soon and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. So far what ive found is that using the flashool i should flash 14.4.A.0.157 but I am currently on this rom which is 14.4.A.0.108? I just dont want to end up bricking my device.
**TWRP is volume down at boot**
That's still doesn't work for me. Reinstalled the one click dual recovery twice...says successful. I'm lost

Install NDR Utils, that gives you the option to restart into Phils or TWRP.
Flashing .157 via Flashtool is very easy, if done properly (select all the wipe tickboxes, but exclude TA), it will leave you with a blank up to date phone, with none of your data left on it.
Having .108 already on it will not make any difference. Obviously flashing the phone will remove recovery and root.

From android version 4.4.2 to aosp 5.0
I have a rooted, bootloader unlocked, with TWRP nexus 7 2013 (32gb wifi) running android 4.4.2 but have not installed a custom rom till date. Now if i want to flash a custom rom such as this one forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2510141(android 5, while my nexus is on 4.4.2), all i have to do is download the rom from the link given in the instructions and flash it via TWRP. From what i understand from the instructions, it doesnt matter what my tablets kernel number etc is, all i have to do is flash it via TWRP. Or is it that the new kernel is included with the flashable zip file, that i am to download.
Any input or advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

How do i install the STOCK-4.4.2-P5200(fixed).zip for this thread: http://forum.xda
It has a .bin file and some folders. couldn't find .tar files

Confused - a bit at least
Hi, im using the Deodexed+Rooted build and its realy nice, works great, no bugs or problems.
Now i wanted to install busybox and it showed me an error occured.. i checked my apps and saw that superuser from clockwork mod seems to be installed from default as sytemapp...
i flashed the update file from OP wiped davlik/cache and after reboot same thing... so im confused..
did i miss something while flashing? or will i have to restart from zero and flash again? or is there another solution?
Ok after uninstalling and installing again, it works now sry... :fingers-crossed:
Also, i have a great respect for the time and work the devs invest in their ROM's and im very happy they make this work.
Now i have 2 Questions that i cant find directly answered anywhere.
1. Is there a difference in building ROM's for x86 based devices, or could i follow the usual tutorials (except nedded tools etc.)?
2. Does anywhere exist a kind of "minimum" ROM?
i mean simply everything it needs to work, nothing more?
shure i know certain apps etc are needed, but id really appreciate a ROM with no personal touch, only absolut needet stuff (in case of doubt leaved as known from original) but nothin more? so i can (and have to) install what i want without need of uninstall this or that...?
oh and a third question, sry....
is there a dummy way to edit the "apps included" (sry my english is bad) of an custom rom? kinda take this app... change this app with that one or so?
im really new to all this, so sry if some parts seem dumb questionig

You seem to be all over the place asking this same question, I'll answer it with the answer I got just by reading the threads that you've posted this question on.
1. He is testing it on the Verizon Note 4 (Non-Dev Edition) FIRST
2. Once its successful ( which it isn't as of this post) he will Attempt to make it work For you AT&T Note 4 Users.
I'm sorry if this seems rude, but you've literally asked this 5 times to my knowledge and I've only been aware of this ROM being developed for 30 minutes as of this post, and I was able to answer your question.

THE LOCKED BOOTLOADER SENDS A FLAG TO UFS CONTROLLER TO WRITE PROTECT PARTITIONS INCLUDING SYSTEM. I AND @gatesjunior ARE INVESTIGATING A WORKAROUND TO REMOVE WRITE PROTECTION.
THIS MAY TAKE A LONG TIME AND IS NOT GUARANTEED !

@hsbadr has been very busy trying to get this work for us, I know that you're excited, but please have some more patience.

You seem to be all over the place asking this same question, I'll answer it with the answer I got just by reading the threads that you've posted this question on.
1. He is testing it on the Verizon Note 4 (Non-Dev Edition) FIRST
2. Once its successful ( which it isn't as of this post) he will Attempt to make it work For you AT&T Note 4 Users.
I'm sorry if this seems rude, but you've literally asked this 5 times to my knowledge and I've only been aware of this ROM being developed for 30 minutes as of this post, and I was able to answer your question.

I've only referred to this twice one in here and the other in the root progress thread. Also his initial post about this was sent 19 h ago ,I was kind of hoping he'd have all of this sorted out before posting anything. I'm glad he didnt give up like others did ,but even the Dev root thread was closed due to his post and other reasons. Thanks for answering though I actually wanted to know if anyone else was daring enough to test this on their own behalf using the at&t model ,I wasn't referring to him directly. I guess asking the simplest of questions annoys people very quickly ,I'll make sure to be specific and only post once next time.

Yeah, no hard feelings, next time more info would be better. Don't ever be afraid of writing a long post, If anyone comes to XDA, they know that the more INFO the better they can help you.

do you think he will be able to get the final touches on this method?
I've been following this thread since I first bought my note 4 in December I never posted because I don't have anything informative but I'm very phyced never had a device longer then a week without root; do you guys actually think root will be fully accomplished it seems like we keep hitting roadblock after roadblock? And what's up with this king root v4.0 who developed this and was it actually made for the note t or does it just happen to kind of work for vzw note ?

Kingroot works for various devices and happened to give temporary root for the note 4. That added a huge filling of the root progress bar for the note 4. Temporary root can lead to good things. These devs work hard and I am sure it will be root-able soon. As for an ETA, "It'll happen when it happens". I'm being positive about it.

I was gong to mention this earlier. Hopefully temp root could assist in removing security from the boot loader, from what I've read the boot loader is what is preventing full root. This would also allow us recovery and ability to flash roms/kernels hopefully unlocking the bootloader is easier now!

I wish it were that simple. Sadly, I don't think we will ever have a bootloader unlock. I am sure that we will have root, though. I am fine with just root. XDA devs have worked like crazy to get it and they are so very close.

Patience is the key to success trust me.....

should I do this method
I'm not 100 percent sure should I not do this method yet I don't mind testing it but will I achieve root If done correctly on my Verizon note 4

Temp root only on retail edition. Bootloader fsends a flag to kernel and it write protects cetrain partitions including system, the way I read it. And THAT (write protection) is keeping us from full root because we cant write superuser to system partition
(im dumb and may not have pieced it all together right, but thats how I understand it)

YouTube video kingroot??
Theres a video on youtube posted a few hrs ago by droidmodderx the same guy whp did the april fools joke with note 4 root method: he is claiming the kingroot qorks for note 4 on lollipop with no issues and even roots it on camera with his verizon note 4, i cant tell though if he's running lollipop but it Def is a Verizon note 4; I can't post links cuz I'm a newbie the funny think is I've been using XDA for 2 years just never posted I'm sure if you search YouTube for Verizon note 4 root and change the search options for videos in last week it will pop up from Droidmodderx Root

A DevEd Note4 can be done, Retail can not because of the write protection... Unless you can see if its dev or retail I wouldnt buy into the hype. Read what our devs here are saying about it in the root rom and multisystem threads
Comments on video are filled with people saying it doesnt work and that root is lost on reboot, and that this causes random reboots...

Yes, the video mentioned in OP... this one. You see no real info about the phone other than the word verizon on the backplate, and the fact that he ran Kingroot and Root Checker. But the comments are a mixed bag of claims. Lots say it doesnt work or stops halfway, or causes random reboots..

Oh this video yea I saw this one. I thought that was from the LP thread here.
I see the instructions however I would prefer seeing video so I don't screw anything up

@hsbadr has said to wait for final instructions and the accompanying video. Im twitchy... I wanna try it anyways, but I dont fancy the idea of a (possibly) compromised device. Ill wait til we get fixed up with the prerooted rom and multisystem. Hell... I've waited this long already. Ive almost forgotten what i wanted root for with some of the non-root replacements Ive found.

The instructions have been already updated (works perfectly on unrooted Developer Edition), but Samsung implements write protection on the system partition for Retail Edition only (tripped by the locked bootloader) & so, all our changes get lost after a reboot (even if you deleted directories in /system, they'll come back after rebooting the device). We're working on a workaround...
