It is international more that you think
I told him to do so, so he could go to completely another forum (not XDA) and ask this noob question there, where nobody knows him.
Now you get it?
It would be very funny experience for him to find out what other people on other frums know about SGS4 or phone flashing at all.

I would probably get people telling me off and not wanting to teach me... Happens a lot on these forums, luckily the constant S4 questions have kind of died down here and people like myst tend to point them in the right direction instead of just making a fuss about it.

Why not just report it and move on?
Anyhow, congrats on new device, go forth & make it great like you did for sgs4g..

Porting vibrant roms

I remember a few months back whitehakx made a guide for porting vibrant (or was it i9000?) roms to our device. I believe it's somewhere on these forums.
My question is, is it possible? If so, I might venture into the developing world. There are a couple of nice looking roms available for those phones that would make and excellent addition to ours.. I just need someone to tell me it's possible and I'll probably start developing. I have plenty of free time since I finished my software engineering studies but have no jobs yet.

Is it me or does that seem like some really short directions for such a complicated procedure?
Indeed! And you notice there aren't any Vibrant ROM's ported either.
At the last few posts someone does try to do it but is stuck on a step anyway one of us can help him?

Yeah might as well post about it here if you try it, but don't expect anyone to really hold your hand while you do it.

where did i mess up to get this verizon unauthorized message?

i had a stock rom...rooted it, then went to install one of the roms from the website here and the custom kernel...now i keep getting this lame message...detected unauthorized software please take your phone to a verizon store. what am i doing wrong here??
Are you trying to use odin or have you flashed a custom recovery, cm or twrp?
sent from my s-off rezound
I'm guessing you didn't use the right recovery to flash a kernel. What recovery did you use.
Sent from my Synergized vzw SGS3
This really should be in the general discussions not in development. At the leased it should be in a post in the development for the ROM you were trying.
Probably just didn't use Kexec
You didn't read the OP of whatever it was you were doing.
Time to download stock images to odin

Way too many d-bags on XDA. Yes, he posted in the wrong forum, now he knows and I'm sure a mod will move it. Saying it over and over again and being a d-bag while doing it, doesn't help anyone.
OP, as others have stated, you are probably best off going back to a stock rom from Odin and ensuring you have a proper recovery flashed. Then start over with whatever it was you were trying to do.

really, what a DB (probably doesn't know the answer anyway).
I hate it when posters can't just help someone out.
wow!!!
lol wow guys, i didnt check this for a few days and honestly i will probably never post here again. i downloaded ez-recovery as i was told to do in many posts. i installed a kexec recovery...cwm 6.0.1.0. i followed the instructions in the synergy rom page and installed it through cwm. i then downloaded the Imoseyons Lean Kernel and installed it in cwm, rebooted and received the error message.
i have flashed several roms and recoveries over the years with the droid inc, droid inc2. and now the samsung. sorry to start a flame war. i will not post here again. i was simply trying to help report issues to developers.
good day.

Yeah doing these kind of posts will get you just yelled at :S so don't but if you want an opinion on what you would like based on what you want try the Nocturnal MergeX. Though still customisable, Nocturnal is designed to work out of the box with little effort, making it a good choice for those who would rather leave most of the effort to the experts.
So give it a try

Look man, we aren't necessarily getting angry at you alone (well at least I'm not), it's that some of us people have been around these forums for a long time, and you have no idea how many times this question has been asked. It's not just you, a lot of people do it. It just drives some of us more experienced members crazy to see the same question over and over again, that it brings a little anger out of us.
To answer your question, to start things off it's a matter of if you prefer AOSP or Sense.
