Samsung really messed up right now, they're trying to replace Google services with their BS! First they removed Google TTS (which I had to manually put back through root). Holding down the menu button brings up Sfinder instead of Google now, they don't let you OTA if you've rooted. Wtf is going on! I'd personally like the option to choose to open Google apps instead of having to use Sfinder and svoice. Is anyone else feeling kind of pissed about this stuff

Agreed. Hopefully one of our debs will come up with a way to re map or hardware keys soon. As for the no otas, could not believe that.

personally why would you want to OTA with root? Chances are you will lose root. They do that for safety, less problems. I remember phones bricking all the time when you did OTA, just do the updates from xda. And personally... I'd never compare samsung to apple. That is just a horrible thing to do man.:silly:

well Id recommend waiting. It might be harder to root again if u go back to stock
Now I'm stock with root and I'm up to date on the latest firmware. It took a while though because of the whole device status blocking an OTA but I got it. Now I'm just gonna wait for more custom roms to release

I am running the VRALL4 Stock Rooted and De-Odex'ed rom from Scrosler. So far, its a great rom, I haven't really had any problems with it. Except I cannot figure out how to enable all apps in multi-view with a De-Odex'ed rom. I absolutely love this feature and would really like to get it back. Is there any way to do that on this rom? Or am I going to be forced into a different rom?
I dont think that rom have that mod. Check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028535 some people said it works after the ota.

I tried this. It seems that because the rom is De-odex'ed, this doesnt work. There is nothing to replace when I copy the files to their appropriate folders because all .odex files have been removed.
@1ManWolfePack
I did not find this app installed on the rom. I went and found it here on XDA. I tried installing just the app, it seems to function however, the apps in the multi-view bar are not changed at all. I also tried flashing the framework files..... that resulted in a bootloop and I had to restore to before I flashed the framework file.
Thank you guys for helping me! Any other suggestions that I could try?

Look in Scott's "Recently Archived Builds" link on his website. You can get the 1.0 SE there. Doubt there is further support since he archived it but really... anything that is missing in the Vzw 1.0 light can be found elsewhere. At least this way you have an option to have it or not.
Also, that is the LJB build, the new one is based of the new OTA, LL4, and new bootloader. I have the new bootloader and won't trust mixing the two.

I started to work on the ink effect for the S4...
Requirements: you must be on the latest version which is "AMDL" and deodexed and have the latest recovery installed..
I have tested this on two different devices both running P-ROM.. One unit normal kernal and the other running ktoonsez kernel.
Now with 18 color choices and I fixed the menu layout as well...
It's compatible with Nottach's Xposed as well.. If you are running any other customs rom this could break some features that are in that rom...
Installing this will also give you the long press menu to kill function and 4way reboot...
I will be improving on some of the colors in the next update ex: making pink a little darker and pinker...
I will also be looking at the ink flow to see if I can increase it...
Install using your favorite recovery and as always make sure you backup your system before installing...
Have fun!!!!
On initial boot if your lock screen is black just swipe it to unlock and you are good to go.
Ink 18 Colors For S4
Not responsible for bricked units.. Follow the directions and you will be good to go.

No. I forgot to. I removed it though. All I did was take the files that were in your mod from the rom I was using and replaced them with the stock ones. BTW your mod is working great except for the color flash thing. Keep up the good work.

Just flashed this on my AT&T S4. After flashing I cleared Dalvik cache and cache. Rebooted and immediately had an error message saying "Unofrtunately the process TouchWiz Home has stopped working). I then proceeded to turn on the ink effect but every time I selected something in settings, I would get the same error message about TouchWiz Home not working. Good thing I made a backup before installing!
Really hoping the bugs get worked out as I miss this mod from my GS3. Adding the water drip sounds for lock and unlock would go nicely with this
BTW, I'm on Nottach's P-ROM with stock kernel.

To disable it (and you can do this without root) go into settings - general - apps - all and scroll all the way down to the bottom. You will find vutalk there. Press on it and disable it. And yes it will remain disabled even after reboot.

I am not unfamiliar with the xda and searching for answers but I have yet to find anything on what I would like to do. I have tried an array of apps and tweaks from "softkey enabler" to "wanam settings". where as I have had success in customizing a great deal of this awesome Mega. yet everytime I enable the soft keys or set to a different UI I get the "unfortanately systemui has stopped working. I understand the not being able to have a custom rom or recovery at this time. all I am asking if any one has a clue to what can be done or attempted just so I can enable softkeys or get the tablet UI working. thanks

I have reworded as much as I can (or as far as my intelligence will allow me) and have yet to uncover which settings need to be configured. I do understand that it maybe as simple as a quick tweak but I am a bit discouraged when venturing to deep. I am in no way a dev and would like to consider myself very slightly above a noob. I will continue my search. thanks for the replies and if i do stumble upon my answer. could I post my success here or just post where I found it.

I have used "pie" before on my original note. and although i did like the concept "swiping" to bring it out is not particularly what I want on this Mega. I had used a custom rom that allowed me to switch my note from phone /tablet /phablet. and truely enjoyed the look of the "tablet" UI. so what i am looking for is to make my Mega look like my Note 10.1 as far as the softkeys and navigation bar are concerned. but until some brilliant dev figures out the work around for this "i527" and can allow us to flash such a rom. I must continue my search for what ever comes close.
So title says it all....is there anyway to disable the soft buttons? I give my phone to my boy so he can watch videos and movies but he hits a button every time. Not sure if there is a hack to disable them since I have pie or on screen soft buttons to use.

And if you are using mx player for movies, then lock them into the app with this plug in.
