Hello my favorite Community!!!
The following very simple guide will guide you on how to create a 4.3 Based ROM (Official Android 4.3 Base or the earlier leaks) that will have have fully functional wifi and wifi-related functions. This Guide assumes that you are already in the process of cooking your 4.3 Custom Rom but you realize you dont have wifi, or wifi gets stuck all the time. However, it is also for users who want to experiement themselves because as you will see the changes are really simple. At the end of this Thread im providing a flashable. zip file that fixes the wifi issue on the 4.3 Roms...
UPDATE: As of 26 Oct 2013, unfortunately the following steps STILL NEED TO BE DONE in order for anyone to have fully functional wifi when they cook a custom ROM based on the Official Android 4.3 Base (or the earlier leaks):
Note 1: FOR THE EARLIER 4.3 UNOFFICIAL LEAKS YOU NEED BOTH STEPS 2A & 2B
Note 2: FOR THE OFFICIAL ANDROID 4.3 BASE YOU ONLY NEED TO IMPLEMENT STEP 2B
1. WHAT DO WE NEED
- The 4.3 Leak (either MI8 or the latest MJ3) or the Official Android 4.3 MJ5 Base
- A kernel compiled with the latest 4.3 sources (i.e. either ausdim or Kt kernel)
- A 4.3 GE ROM (I used mine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369922)
- Notepad ++
2. PROCEDURE
A. FIRST CHANGE SOME OF THE BUILD.PROP VALUES (Note: With the official Android 4.3.MJ5 base you can skip this step)
. This way we "trick" the phone into thinking it is a 4.2.2. version. I used parts of the MGA build.prop. I chose MGA because it was the last one without the new bootloader. I tried with MI1 but i didnt get as satisfactory result. Below I show the procedure with pictures
I. ORIGINAL BUILD PROP:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
II. MODIFIED BUILD PROP
B. THEN WE NEED TO TAKE CARE OF SOME WIFI FILES
I. Exctract the 4.3 GE ROM and go to system/etc/wifi. Copy the whole wifi folder and paste it in the system/etc directory of your custom Rom of the 4.3 LEAK.
II. From the GE ROM we need 2 more files: From system/bin the "wlandutservice" and " wpa_supplicant" files. Again copy them to the system/bin directory of your custom Rom of the 4.3 LEAK.
C. THAT'S IT WE ARE FINISHED!!!!!
I trully hope this has been helpful!! This COMMUNITY has offered me so much. I feel like im giving something back. This is not a thread for Q+A and please respect that. I think everything I wrote is self-explanatory....:good::good::good:
If you will publish your 4.3 Roms, please give credits for the wifi fix.... No need to pm me or anything like that

Sent from my GT-I9505 using tapatalk 4
so users who have old bootloader can use the 4.3 if i'm correct,
well this is a awesome idea, but are they able to change it back to 4.3 in build prop so other apps only for 4.3 will be available? i don't think degrading the "build.prop" to 4.2.2 is the conclution but i might be wrong, so basically those who uses new bootloader can go back to older firmware? am i right?
Amazing. Thank you

I hate to have to be the one to do this, but because you did not change the modem or the kernel necessarily is any of this a step towards getting 4.3 on the at&t MF3 sgs4? Not enough people got stuck with this firmware for a real definitive answer to be obvious, or maybe it is and I just don't know enough, but any answer is appreciated.

I cant be certain... Unfortunately i know very little about the other S4 variants...
Maybe if you asked this question in the ROM's thread,, you will get a response. Other users with other variants besides the International one have reported success...
Has anyone tested this with MJ5 yet?
Does it allow us to have fully functional root and Permissive SE Linux status? I want to use Titanium Backup and Wanam Xposed Framework to make Touchwiz slightly less vile.

On MJ5... We will know pretty pretty pretty soon (Larry David reference there)

Thanks sir for this, you are awesome...
Sorry, but is it possible to list specifically what the builprop changes are in detail (before and after), because I can't really read them well enough from the images, and I am trying to not make any mistakes.

Sorry to bother you but I am trying to get a straight answer on some threads.
I have KNOX 0x1 and running MJ3 and its perfect.
I don't care about the KNOX thing because I am in the Netherlands and we can take our phones in for service even if knox is tripped.
I want to upgrade to MJ5 but don't want to mess around with Odin,
Is there a chance of making a Recovery flashable ZIP for MJ5?
I am using TWRP and rooted via CF-Autoroot, latest version.
Thanks in advance.

Thumbs way up. I was wondering when a CLEAN ge rom was going to hit. Everyone has their own version of the GE ROM with their own little "fixes" and signatures all over the meta data.
Now, with that said, will this actually make our AT&T GS4 phones exact replicas of GE? As in, OTA pushed from the settings menu?

This has yet to be determined. Hopefully we'll find out very soon :good:
It'd be amazing if we could get a different boot loader like this with this new info! Assuming mf3 users aren't included.

I too am awaiting to convert my 32GB i337 into the GT-i9505G. As if purchased right from Google's little play ground.:cyclops:
I wish we had the availability of whatever the OEM uses when the phones are coming off the assembly line. Hardware is identical, and forks pretty much to be flashed in either direction, then they slap some identifying bar codes on them.
ERASE i337, and install i9505G, partitioned corrections and all.
It is flasheable on a i9505 ?
LOLWUT they completely removed se linux from the kernel
Might have to put linux back on this beast and see whats up

Fully flash-able with i337
Hello, just wondering if this is fully flash-able with the att i337? I know its probably a dumb question just want to make sure. I would like to thank all the devs for developing roms and kernels and such, I got into flashing roms when the evo came out and ever since then always had to have the top android phone out there. since the evo iv had the sensation, galaxy s 4g, galaxy s2, s3, note, note 2 and s4 the only reason im asking this question is because (htc set aside) this is the first galaxy that ive had that had locked bootloader (i believe) and every so often when flashing a rom i get a Kernel source error so i just end up flashing a Ktoonez kernel and 99% of the time fixes the problem. im using twrpr recovery and would like to use CWM but do wanna lose my back ups from previous roms, again, sorry for going on and on and really do appreciate all the devs work. Ive had an xda account for a while but didnt post much so sorry for having 2 questions in one also would appreciate it if someone could be so kind as to point me in the right direction where i could donate to the devs.
thanks
:good:
No one flash this unless you want a possible brick.

this may be flashable via heimdall, though I'll wait for the devs to inform us first.
Interesting. AMFD modem. I wonder if the modem will be flashable since it seems a newer revision than AMF3 on regular SGH-I337's.
Hopefully the full dump will help in researching work arounds for the locked bootloader.

It is the latest for the i337 but with the leak there is a new leaked modem which I'm not sure is or will work for the 337 device.

Exactly. AMF3 is currently the latest official modem from AT&T/Samsung for I337. The Modem in this is AMFD, which by the numbering scheme seems newer. Compatible: No idea but newer it seems.
No, really. This is a real thing.

This is a community forkable ROM, so feel free to use for your own projects as long as you give me credit!
Official GT-P5113 OTA with root, busybox, deodex, init.d, zipalign. ALL files from OTA are present. (Look, even those pictures and video are there!)
The point of this ROM is not to be small, but to be completely 100% stock and used for other projects, thus it has 0 debloat and is big (but no different than any other Stock Samsung OTA).
Install Instructions:
Use a custom recovery. I prefer TWRP. But there's also CWM.
Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik Cache (Factory Reset) the installer automatically wipes System, but you can do that too if you're nervous.
Flash the zip on a 5113! People who know what they're doing say it works on a 5110 too!
If there are issues booting make sure you have the Jellybean bootloader installed. This is from the CM10 thread, I didn't make it.

Known Issues:
*Initial setup was wonky and I had to restart the tab a few times to get through it, but after that it's actually performing great! Might have been a fluke due to some choices I set during setup (like don't sync etc.).
*It seems to only work for people who know what they're doing.
*Any additional issues? You tell me?
Info for the old port in case people were wondering:
I took the stock ROM from SamMobile, Rooted and Deodexed and all that good stuff using @dsixda Android Kitchen, modified the build.prop, threw in a couple missing apks that the kitchen screwed up from @Tsjoklat MicroDelta Stock Based ROM, replaced a few files with ones from the GT-P5210 release (also SamMobile), and injected it with @ketut.kumajaya NEXT kernel and blobs so it would run on our tab!
Special Thanks: @ketut.kumajaya for reminding me to use his blobs or else I would have just given up on this.

Well thank you soo much for the effort,the rom was sluggish even without odex trash.I removed about 200 mb of apps from system and the rom is amazing now.
Only bug is the page indicator misplacement(behind the dock icons) in the launcher.

Yeah, cuz it was taken from the 5210 which doesn't have a nav bar, thus the icons became squished on our screen lol. I'm downloading the 5113 release right now but it will take a couple hours... Then I'll work on it and post the launcher so people can replace it on their own if they want to continue using the port idk...
Sorry to 5100 users I don't think I'll be porting the 3100 over after all since Samsung is finally starting to roll out 4.2.2 to the 10" you'll just have to wait. Or port it yourself. Just take a 3100 ROM, comment out the line in the build.prop that says ro.sf.hwrotation=270, and use kk's latest NEXT kernel and Blobs. That will make it boot but still have some problems with apps lol.
do you think you'd be releasing the rooted/deodexed 4.2.2 P5113 today? or is it gonna take a while?

You speak wisdom as always. I'm stuck with official touchwiz lollipop on my phone (GS4 Active) and it's just hideous. I mean you can always expect that from touchwiz, but now with all the white, and paler shades of blue and teal it honestly looks like girl colors/designed for a girl's phone. And sorry if that comes off sexist but that's just not the color theme I want at all. Plus G-D it I hate navigating Touchwiz's convoluted navigation, not to mention its stock apps options (file explorer, media players, office suite, etc.) are, as always, inferior in nearly every possible way to the many third-party options out there. Sorry to hijack this thread, but I just felt like someone had to mention the negative aspects of 5.0 touchwiz. AOSP remains as always the better choice for those who prefer real control over their devices.
T,
that's not sexist at all, the colors are abominable, it's a color theme that's suffering from estrogen poisoning. <----that is sexist ! :laugh:
the politically correct crowd can blow. m

I have TW lollipop 5.0 on my Tab S. It's not the best in which I had to theme it myself. I wonder whose idea was to include these bubblegum colors xD
Ill keep my Xposed Framework on ol' 4.4. 5.0 is pointless for the 237p users/owners.

Good eyes, thanks for that. @moonbutt74 @repey6 @sub77 I was not aware but it appears the official lollipop update is going live for the t535 and t530. Obviously I'm downloading the t530 file already. My reason for bothering you guys is I think someone is going to have to take the images, modem, etc. from the tar and make it into a zip that is flashable with FlashFire, in order to be able update while keeping root. We've done it for my locked-bootloader phone (AT&T S4 Active) so I assume it's doable here, as I assume towelroot can't root lollipop. If somebody more knowledgeable wants to weigh in now, please do...
Edit: User Android21 is referring to this page's info which leads me to believe LP actually is going out over the air....
Editt: @g_ding84 you're also very smart and very good at this crap, just wanted to make sure you see this too, I'm sure the 7.0 crowd will start clamoring for a keep-root update once your updates go live too.
Edittt: In case anyone cares the t530 LP build is region PHE (Spain) and the one for t535 is region NEE (Finland). Idk what effect if any that will have
Editttt: Now downloading both firmware builds (i.e. t530 and t535)
Editttt: I'll have these files shared with you guys most likely by around 8:00 PM (16:00) EDT (midnight, 0:00 GMT/UTC I guess), possibly sooner but no guarantees
They are unlocked boot loader devices unless bought by carrier.... We just need an Odin flashable recovery that suits lollipop from there we would attain root. I am unsure if the current one does or not. For the boot loader locked ones I believe you are quite correct in the use of flash fire.

Sweet that's more or less what my line of thinking was, I just wanted to err on the side of safety (safety of course meaning rootable lol). No matter what, I'm downloading both files and uploading to AFH, that's a given. So what I'm thinking is for the carrier-branded devices, assuming they were able to root on KitKat, they'll need a FlashFire update.
For the unlocked bootloader devices, I'm guessing we keep doing the trick where we Odin flash an older kernel, run towelroot, and then flash the current kernel? I can tell you from actual personal experience this particular method will not work on a locked bootloader going from KK to LP (just so everyone is crystal clear). However with our unlocked bootloaders, my question is, will lollipop boot after flashing a kitkat kernel? I don't know enough about kernels to even know how stupid a question that is, if it is...

Sweet that's more or less what my line of thinking was, I just wanted to err on the side of safety (safety of course meaning rootable lol). No matter what, I'm downloading both files and uploading to AFH, that's a given.

Um. . If the devices that have bootloader unlocked already, you could simply flash twrp/cwm then flash supersu zip in twrp. Yeah it will trip Knox but that would be the only way. KK kernels and Lollipop kernels don't mix with each other.
For locked bootloader (att), they need FlashFire.

This is what I suspected might be the situation. Thank you for letting me know. Files still on the way.

Good eyes, thanks for that. @moonbutt74 @repey6 @sub77 I was not aware but it appears the official lollipop update is going live for the t535 and t530. Obviously I'm downloading the t530 file already. My reason for bothering you guys is I think someone is going to have to take the images, modem, etc. from the tar and make it into a zip that is flashable with FlashFire, in order to be able update while keeping root. We've done it for my locked-bootloader phone (AT&T S4 Active) so I assume it's doable here, as I assume towelroot can't root lollipop. If somebody more knowledgeable wants to weigh in now, please do...
Edit: User Android21 is referring to this page's info which leads me to believe LP actually is going out over the air....
Editt: @g_ding84 you're also very smart and very good at this crap, just wanted to make sure you see this too, I'm sure the 7.0 crowd will start clamoring for a keep-root update once your updates go live too.
Edittt: In case anyone cares the t530 LP build is region PHE (Spain) and the one for t535 is region NEE (Finland). Idk what effect if any that will have
Editttt: Now downloading both firmware builds (i.e. t530 and t535)
Editttt: I'll have these files shared with you guys most likely by around 8:00 PM (16:00) EDT (midnight, 0:00 GMT/UTC I guess), possibly sooner but no guarantees

Is this compatible with the 530NU? I dont really care about whether or not the IR Blaster works.

530NU user here, I would not recommend it, it's always very dangerous flashing things for different models in Odin.

Yeah I realized it wasn't a ROM when it finished downloading and peaked inside. I saw .zip and assumed it was a ROM. It wouldn't let me flash the .tar in ODIN even if I tried.

Good job man!
Xposed does not work with 64 bit processors currently, but there is a workaround for lollipop which doesn't help us. If I'm incorrect on any of this please let me know.
Great to see another rom! I just want to have someone disable the safe headphone warning stuff...please?

Per my understanding you are correct. Not to mention it would need to be deodexed which isn't mentioned so I'll assume its not.
Thanks for the rom @Misterxtc!

I'll be happy to do it if I can find instructions for the mod. Things are going to be a bit crazy around here for a few because I'm picking up a new puppy today to welcome in our home so I'm not sure how soon I can get to this. Most likely I won't have much time during the day as I did in the past. I'm with you 100% on disabling the volume warning.
Gonna ask a noob question.....
If i flash this with flash fire, will it trip knox?

No - it's my understanding that you would have to do something to the bootloader to trip knox

I am fairly experienced with flashing roms, but i am new to Verizon and new to flash fire. I came from T-mobile/HTC and never had to use flash fire.

This thread is the most recent resource I'm aware of. Again, the 64x is the current hangup though so some hurdles need yet to be cleared. But there is still useful info in there as it pertains to 5.x Xposed so maybe you'll be the guy to make it happen. By all means no hurry, we're all on the front end of this thing right now anyway.
Also, congrats on the new pup. I had a rough time much like yourself recently re: the long time family pet. Glad to hear things are back on the upswing. :good:
Hello!
Does this rom have a Brazilian Portuguese language?
When you guys say that the rom tripped Knox, means that the fingerprint scanner should work or not?
The Fingerprint Scanner still working on this rom?
Thanks for all and sorry about my simple doubts! I'm newbie...

Flash in twrp as per usual assuming you're rooted and what not. Also I'm on T-mobile so I flashed SkyHigh's kernel right after the rom then booted up - just to be doubly sure.

I'm not a big fan of tweaked kernels unless they are packaged with the rom but so question,
Do I have to install skyhigh with this rom or can i run it flat out of the box and be fine? I'm also running TmoUS variant

Yes its fine if you dont install it will keep the kernel you had before insalling rom but if yes you should install it again reason is for example for arter kernel it disables knox completely like knox libs and stuff which i cannot delete in rom zip coz i think something is depending on these libs because i got bootloop when i deleted these so
i hope it will make sense

Im having some extrange situation with my phone, whenever i make or receive a call it moves from LTE to H+ network, and every time its like people have a hard time listening me for a few seconds, probably due to the network switching, is this normal? Can i force/enable to use LTE network for voice as well? Thanks in advance.

Im assuming, since it's a Canadian base, like WiFi calling, there probably isn't VoLTE either. But just my guess.
Thanks for the reply, that might be the issue with the Note 5 running Canadian FW, but i hope there might be a workaround this.
Not the same device, but i was running official 5.0.1 canadian base on my S4 and didnt had the same behavior switching networks.
