[DISCUSSION][ROM]Stock Rooted Deodexed/Odexed MDL

This is the place for all discussions that are related to my stock rom.
Rom Thread is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41192248
It appears that something in the new system is generating a security alert if you are rooted. Researching, more info to come.

Thanks! Just to confirm then, the "NO Data Wipe" versions do not wipe data? In the OP it says "The data wipe versions do not delete the /data/media folder."

That is correct. What the data wipe version means is that it wipes the data but keeps your internal storage (i.e. pictures, music etc...) from being wiped.

Ok cool. That makes sense. I was overthinking it.

Hey Crawrj when moving between odexed and deodexed shouldnt u always wipe cache, dalvik and system?

Is this rom based on the update pushed today? So if I'm already rooted, just flash in recovery like every other rom?

It is in the dev section. Had the wrong link in the OP. It is fixed now. Yes it is from the update today. It looks like it is throwing security alerts if you are rooted. Checking into it when I get time.

K I'll hold off then cuz I'm rooted, thanks bud

Cool. Just waiting for the odex version.
EDIT: On second thought, I guess I should wait until they get the 'annoying message' issue figured out.
Thanks!

Question: Since a kernel is not part of the ROM, what kernel is recommended? or do I flash ontop of the MDC kernel?

You can either keep the MDC kernel or install Shabby's MDL kernel. I will be putting it in the OP of the Rom later but for now it is in the OTA zip thread. Around page two I think.

Thanks! Installed the odex no wipe, then kernel, then nag fix. Froze seandroid after boot.
Everything seems to be working fine!
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2

OK still testing but this is what I got. I restored back to MDC. I installed MDL Rom. I installed Shabby's kernel. I installed the Nag Fix. I rebooted. As soon as the system came up the nag was there. Immediately rebooted on my own, not with the prompt. It has been about 30 minutes and the nag has not returned. I am trying to get the modem to work but will do more lengthy testing later on. This damn modem is kicking my ass. Never had this much trouble before.
Edit: The nag came back.

I did odexed mdl rom data wipe, mdl nagfix, and mdl hotspotmod.
I installed google wallet and it says unsupported device.. can you point me what i did wrong and to the direction to get it work?
and i know it's noob question but what is MDL and MDC? i just got GS4 yesterday i'm so confused.
Thanks

I believe it is going to say that as long as you are rooted. I have never used Wallet so I am not sure if there is a fix for that. MDC and MDL are the OS versions. M is the year 13, D is the month 4 and L is the day or revision +9. It used to be two number which made it a lot easier. MD21 instead of MDL. Not sure why it was changed. Hope that helps.

[MOD][MDC]Disable Increasing Ringtone (modded SecPhone.apk)

Description
The Galaxy S4, like its predecessors and some other devices, has a hardcoded "increasing ring" feature where the ringtone starts out quiet and gradually gets louder, reaching full volume in about 3 or 4 seconds. Some people don't want this (like me).
There are two ways to work around this behavior. First, you can use an app, such as Disable Increasing Ring. The advantage is that you don't need root. The disadvantage is that now you have an app running 24/7, using up memory unnecessarily, albeit a very small amount. The second solution is to patch the SecPhone.apk. That's what this mod does.
Most of the credit goes to gharrington in this post whose method I used to patch SecPhone.apk.
Feel free to use in ROMs, redistribute, etc., but remember to give credit.
Instructions
As with all mods, nandroid backup in case something goes wrong. This mod is provided as-is, use at your own risk, etc.
You can install this one of two ways. The ZIP file can be installed from pretty much any recovery, such as TWRP. It will automatically clear cache/dalvik. Or you can manually copy over the APK with a root file explorer.
Note
I'm using a MDC ROM currently, so I modded the SecPhone.apk that came with MDC. I don't know if that particular apk has changed in later official ROM updates. I can easily perform this mod on newer versions if someone wants to PM me newer SecPhone.apk file in /system/app. I'll try to keep this thread up-to-date as newer updates come down the pipe for as long as I have this device.

It appears as though you can flash the zip in recovery. The .apk is also attached, so you could move that to system/app to replace your existing secphone.apk, set permissions and reboot. Or you could adb push the .apk to the system/app directory and adb reboot. I'm pretty sure any of those methods will work.

Any chance of getting call record enable in your apk?

Well I applied the necessary patches, but it didn't work. The button appears, but the button doesn't activate anything or sometimes the phone app just crashes when you press it. It just might not work with MDC as I saw others stating basically the same thing with MDC ROMs. You can try the MDN version in that post. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about what's going on behind the scenes, so I don't know how to debug this. It's too bad because call record would be really handy.
Still waiting on ForceROM to update to MDL then I can get to work on the MDL version.

Can you post the file so I can try it? Im on ForceROM running MDL...

[ROM] TweakerRom 1.1.0

The first (very mildly) customized ROM for NVIDIA SHIELD... Tweaker.
For those who tried SHIELD on launch day (or early on before the OTA was applied), it had a dashboard with bigger graphics that were easier to read. Now, it's just icons. I don't like the icons. So a little bit of hacking together pieces (and adding SuperUser while I was at it) resulted in TweakerRom.
Don't expect much difference, at least not until I get CM-10.2 done for SHIELD. But this has a nicer interface, in my opinion, and is based on the latest OTA 1.1 release (with the SHIELD UI from the original image)
You need to install a SuperUser app (I highly recommend SuperSU) but you don't need to use recovery to do it.
Download:

Reserved for changelog and stuff

Reserved for Video! It WILL come.

This is great! Will flash this tonight once I can get CWRM to flash properly in fastboot...

Awesome! I'm glad to see the first step being made, but I'm going to hold out until 10.2. I'm getting lazy in my old-ish age.:silly:

I just finished Unlocking and Flashing your recovery when the download finished (YES I unlocked it just for this ROM). I have to say: I LOVE the interface, I never got to see it but it is SO much better! Thanks for pioneering the development over here, there isn't much at all...

The SHIELD is a bit of an unusual exception here - most of their OTAs seem to be full system images, instead of delta patches.
While this makes the OTAs much larger, it also makes them much more robust.

I have an easy root fix for once you update to 4.4 if you have Mac
I modified the Root.Nexus.4.zip file for Mac on here, updated it to CWM 6.0.4.3 image, and SuperSU 1.65 image. Just unzip, and run the Root.Nexus.4 terminal shell script with the N4 in fastboot with USB connected to the Mac, I think you can use a similar script for PC and prob need USB drivers if you don't have them already. Hope this helps
I'm unable to post a link on here since I'm a newb, PM if you want the link to the zip

Another build available here : http://www.androidauthority.com/android-4-4-kitkat-nexus-4-nexus-7-download-unofficially-313352/.
Flashed this in CWM, everything, including root is absolutely fine. (I flashed SuperSu 1.65 zip). But for the proper google experience, have to wait for the factory images.
The lockscreen widgets functionality (except for the camera widget) seems to have been removed, can anyone find that option anywhere?
Edit: Lockscreen widgets can be enabled in Settings->Security.

Bleh can't seem to catch a free moment today
Check out the OP in this thread for an extensive list of system apps safe to remove, it's the list I originally went off of. Yeah it was made for kitkat, but nearly all the names are the same and those that aren't are pretty easy to figure out. Freeze or uninstall any and all unwanted bloatware with Titanium Backup, it's what I did. Some general pointers, uninstall any system app: with knox in the name, with AT&T in the name, anything google like Google+ or hangouts is safe to get rid of (obviously don't touch the play store or play services), and you can get rid of, for example, the stock Samsung email or calendar apps, just don't get rid of the sync services otherwise replacement third party apps won't run properly (i.e. you can uninstall calendar, but not calendar storage). Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer for now

I know on NH3 if you uninstall Samsung Hub your screen rotation will not work and no idea why it may just be my phone. I don't know if this is the case for OC6 I left hub installed for now. There is however a fix if you have that problem without having to reinstall Hub

I assume you mean this fix? Yeah that worked for me for both NE3 and NH3. However you can safely uninstall Samsung hub on OC6, I did and no rotation issues. Hell I was even able to mod android.policy.jar for full 360° rotation on the deodexed rom. But point being this is no longer an issue for OC6, feel free to get rid of Hub.

Practically everything I know about modding stock Samsung system apps either comes from this thread or is at least linked to in it
Some examples: getting rid of the battery cover toast, disabling home button on/wake on text message or USB plugin, coloring/theming systemui and settings, flashlight in pull down menu, CRT screen off effect, changing carrier text, etc. I'm sure I'm forgetting more, but those are some of the mods that for me into that sort of thing
