I use an S4 with stock rom, I really don't feel the need to install a cusom rom on it, cause it is pretty nice as is

There is root as far as bootloader I dunno yeah I like the touchwiz UI I had the galaxy mega before it even hit the US and I like that one even tho its just an oversized galaxy S II
 
I've formatted my phone after doing factory reset ...i went down the list of things in CWM recovery....everytime i hit a wall....start all over again...format, format, format..reset reset reset....

The Premia i had before was way more forgiving...i guess it spoiled me...I've been formatting this phone if not everyday...every other day...some days twice.....

Last time i installed KK...i installed ASTRO file manager...and it showed7 folders of the same thing....so.....i said some cuss words ...dusted everything off again..,and threw. XPERION in it...

Now..that's where it sits with stock whatever it came with..plus apps2SD....which..by the way seems too do what says...but it's not enough...

I'm gonna let it rest...wish it ill....maybe even give it to the fish...
 
so u mofs managed to anger the hroarking lion again..

he is going to move to the greener pastures..

oh well.

thank u hroark13 for what u did..TWRP was great.

port of 505 was great..

now since there will be no more development for this ROM I am going to restore the stock.

It was nice while it lasted.
 
Hello. I have the Galaxy S4 and have been having nothing but problems since the update to Android KitKat 4.4.2 . I'm with Verizon in NC 27320 zip. The main issue is Network connectivity problems. The 3g or 4g will be grey and if I try to Google, use Facebook, etc...It wont let me...until 3g or 4g turns white. This can last from a few minutes to nearly a whole day. I have to restart or put in airplane mode then out of airplane mode. Can anyone help with this. I have already wiped my phone and then restored it but same problem. Thanks in advance!

I don't want to sound like an ass, but from your posts you don't sound like you know what you are doing.

You will NEVER fix the internal storage issue unless you do something like switch the internal, and external memory. Using Link2SD plus will help greatly.

You said it showed 7 folders of the same thing? I very much doubt you actually had 7 copies of a file on your device. It seems you don't understand what a symbolic link is, and how the linking function is used.

If you have a folder X, and link it to folder Y then open a file manager split screen and open the folder X, and also the folder Y it will show that both folders have the same contents, and different paths. However, there is only really 1 file. Think of linking as an advanced shortcut. When you place a shortcut in a folder it doesn't make a new file. Linking is the same, but instead of a shortcut it makes it appear as though it's an actual file, and the system can do things with it such as opening the file as it. If you tried to open a shortcut, it would read the file as a shortcut, and not work.

Here's an example of how my data is mapped.

Internal Data: "/data"
SD Card: "/storage/emulated/0"

Even though the internal, and sd card are different locations. They show the exact same files. However, deleting a file in one location, will cause the file to be deleted in another. Create a new folder in one, shows up in another.

To fix the insufficient data problem you need to partition your SD, and if you can map the storage to look like mine it will work without a problem.

Internal = "/data"
SD Card = "/storage/emulated/0"
Ext SD = "/mnt/media_rw/sdcard1"
SD Card 2nd part = "/data/sdext2"
System = "/system"
 
I can tell you when I'm being stupid..because I'll admit it....the only thing i did that was blind and dumb was attempt the proposal hack on kit kat...and Trevor confirmed my suspensions by saying he wouldn't have done it...ha...

I promise you this is not the first phone I've rooted and what not...
It's not my first time bricking and saving...

Although..i never thought you could bluescreen a phone..till i proved i could on this one...

I think what it was..was aparted..and hoping it looked normal...

I may be a noob because i can't do things that require thinking...but,i can for the most part follow directions...

You're welcome
 
And ASTRO showed me 7 storage folders...listing them1 thru 7....not...i looked at storage and spun around 7 Times

I'm not sure about the method you mentioned, but something changed your storage map.

Using multiple mods/hacks for the internal memory problem can do some weird things.

My storage has the following:
-emulated
-sdcard0
-sdcard1
-usbdisk
 
At the moment i have

sdcard0

External_sd

With Link2SD successfully sending pics and downloads to external.

With XPERION.

It's stable...i flashed correctly..after reset...format..went into CWM where you can pick what to format and went down the list...format...flashed XPERION...reboot recovery...flashed FREEDOM...flashed XPERION theme :)...

Reboot....

Installed link2sd...chose second storage (after partitioning with aparted on my PREMIA ...fat32/ext4 )

Everything is peachy.......

Insufficient storage available error when i tried to install adaway...

That's it

I rebloated hroark's rom, includes all the LG apps and made a cwm backup. Download, Unzip, place folder in your clockworkmod backup location, restore in recovery. Anyone that knows how to make a rom zip from this feel free to do so.

Not everyone has CwM. Those that have Twrp, I don't think will be able to recover from this.
