[rom]NEMESIS 2.5r2 gogo8008 TW4.3-FASTER THANuKNOWho-NICEBATT-THEMED-SIC-MK2-MDK++ - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

The Nemesis Project for Verizon Safestrap and other S4 carriers/models
An Infamous/Jamison/gogolie Production!
RULES:
Before you start using this rom here are some things you need to know:
1. I am NOT updating every week (I work 6 days a week and have a 2 year old and Pregnant wife)...
2. Don't ask for ETA, this is rude and offensive. When it is done it is done.
3. Custom Roms come without warranty. They are tested before release but something always can go bad. So if you broke your phone or you got fired because the alarm didn't go off - I am not responsible.
4. Support is limited. Sometimes I can answer your questions sometimes I don't have the time. There will be times I don't have an answer so please do no repeat your question or get offended because I haven't answered you.
5. Don't compare ROMs. It is rude and offensive for developers. If the other rom has what you need, use that ROM.
6. Don't Kang my work. You may fool everyone else but I will know! If you want to use something just ask!
7. If you like my work, a five star thread rating and hitting the thanks button motivates me.
8. No flaming! We have all been a NoOb before. We are here to help each other.
9. Read the change log. All relevant important information is there first! i.e. Bugs and fixes if there are any at the time.
* Your warranty is now void.** I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.*/By using the rom you agree with the above terms! (I've returned warranty void phones before to verizon they have no clue.)

HOW TO INSTALL:
1.Download ROM (and aroma addon if you need it) and place on SD
2.Reboot into recovery
3.Wipe / FORMAT / U MUST Create new rom slot (only if on SafeStrap obviously
4.Install the ROM (this is my personal choice its got all I need and is essentials only much faster!) Reboot if on MK2 / Safestrap - Verizon and not installing aroma addon apps. MJ7 or other SS users flash modules & restart.
5.(THIS IS NO LONGER A SUPPORTED OPTION your free of will to try but know its buggy) Install Aroma Addon's choose NO WIPE and Rom Install or you'll end up wiping the rom.. The make sure to unselect MK2 SS VZW near end of aroma options. SS doesnt like that option so don't pick it unless you like bootloops All apps in aroma are either Samsung, Google or an AOSP / free version of paid program. Nothing illegal or full versions for free... I wasn't aware i'd be packing an aroma so I lost track of where a lot of the ASOP/other apps are from. I did put Shaftie's Onyx Keyboard in place of the google keyboard that kept FC'n (still is even tho its not installed I know an am working on a new version) so stop at Shaftamle's sweet themed S4 keyboard thread and thank or donate to him if you like it!
6. If your not on another carrier or MDK model then restart after aroma...optionally you can flash the contacts fix now too before restarting........
7. If on ATT/Verizon MDK and not on Loki recovery, you need to flash Loki patch! - Loki patch.....Then install your usual or favorite kernel or try the bioshock 4.1 kernel from Jamison. If on a carrier other than Verizon you'll need to flash a compatability zip package a kernel (or SS module if Safestrap is available to you) and your carriers modem/apns. Please do not ask or request these here PM me if you can't find them by yourself but its a simple google search away...
8. Reboot if done installling
9. Wait five minutes for all to settle as this is a highly tweaked ROM check out the optional bootanim in aroma if you smoke nows a good time for one.
Set APNs if it didn't stick
Additional install info:
Driver for Viper4ANDROID = CortexA8 with NEON
Now enjoy the fastest and most customizible ROM for the S4.

Change log:
3/6/14 .713 Version Final until Original is Updated
No FC's with Phone or Contacts. Changed back to different ASOP Black.
Fixed bootanimation... and shutdown animations i had added for fun didnt work out originally should now...
all with this one until jamison updates it!
02/24/14
Version 2.5r2 gogolie's v8008
newest version of Nemesis for verizon - 3/1/14 - this includes different ASOP themed dialer and contacts matching the 3mint theme of the ROM. be sure to thank/buy a beer for Jamison just google him and Infamous as i can't post the link to original thread ?! there will be 2 inital FC's reguarding the new asop dialer but thats it the only time you'll get them is 1st install. updated setupwizard and a FIXED few other issues. please hold off on using the aroma installer unless you absolutely want to try it. i'm developing an aroma installer that will be generic and port any rom to from any S4 device instantly as well as mods,keyboards,apps and bootanimations. if you have anything you think deserves to make it in the installer post here. I havent seen an FC for a day so i'm considering it good to go. please post in the verizon thread any problems. gapps/user programs are more specific to what you've loaded so if you havent tried a different version or arent using the stock (by stock i mean what came with the rom) it probably isnt compatible. also added some early wip flash packs for major carriers/mdk to use with my ROMs please PM me results, they wont brick your phone as long as you flash the right one... actually no matter what they shouldnt but dont hold me responsible unless it works then donate
Version 2.5.710
gogolie reworked this hard.
Updated nearly everything and added more options to aroma.
Forced to work with Safestrap and any S4 if kernel/modems are flashed after installing!
Removed broken keyboards added a lot of ASOP apps in place of originals probably about 50% ASOP apps too many to list more info on them available in aroma install addon
01/28/14

- Dark Theme part2. A crap load more apps.
- Fixed APN issue on install for real this time
- More CSC tweaks ( wipe needed to take effect.)
- More language support
- More Aroma fixes
- More framework tweaks // Kitkat stuff

- Nemesis 3minit backup so you can open 3minit app and click restore then nemesis_backup to give you the full Nemesis feel!

- Added Lionheart governor that I personally tweaked
01/25/14

1st! jk
I'll take this one for updates...
essentially just flash the rom .zip if SS MK2, restart and enjoy

---

Wait! So if I understand OP directions properly, if we want Aroma options/installer, we actually flash the Aroma .zip first then the actual full ROM afterwards? Any wipes required in between or reboot before going to ROM flash?

---

Looks good ty for another ss working rom

negative. Both downloads are full installs. The second one just uses aroma to let you pick and choose what you want.
Thanks @gigilie

actually i messed up on the OP really shoulda just left aroma out but ppl want options.. flash rom first then aroma in aroma chose no wipe and rom install. then pick apps..... but avoid pickin the auto selected MK2 SS Verizon box apparently SS doesnt like modules flashed twice or something havnt had time to investigate but all SS files including modules would have been flashed when the rom was. also the aroma is a beta I haven't testd all the compatibility packs yet if you have feed back or results(neg or positive on vzw or tryin a pack or a diff carrier) let me know... preferably via PM.
after a few hours on this version my contacts/phone started FC'ing / the phone or at least shortcut to it disapeared dont know if this will happen to anyone else but I whipped up a fix located in OP - downloads.... occasionally getting a google keyboard error still too even tho its not installed... probably going to have a patch or a new version with that fixed.

---

Thanks for the replies regarding my Aroma installer questions. I'm half understanding, lol.
Might just wait this one out though until you get the update/fix for those couple issues you mentioned.

---

Cool update. Getting more and more robust. Looking forward to see where this goes.

your welcome guys!
PS new update check OP ignore inital 2 FC's they happen no matter what aren't important but thats it after first 2 in setup you shouldnt see another one! feel free to test these new m.a.r.c. packs PM me feedback but only flash if on carrier/firmware oh and 3 new roms later today after i get some sleep
gogolie's MARC=Make Any ROM Compatible
MARC for Verizon MDK
for AT&T SafeStrap 3.71 - flashes MK2 modules and stock kernel (why kernel? I dont know a safety measure i suppose)
for AT&T non Safestrap *w unlocked BL*
for Sprint
for T-Mobile users w unlocked BL
for other carrier support PM me details with links to or files for carriers you'd like supported
These packs should be immediately flashed over any ROM after 1st installing it to "port" it to your system. i'll post my VZW SS MARC later today... No promises as to how well or compatible they'll b I have not had many other carrier phones in to root / mod lately so i'll need independent testing via users.
Thanks,
gogo
PPS: Anyone beat 29,893 for a score in AnTu's benchmarks? Personal best I know doesnt mean much but compared to 23-27k I'd get with HD thats cool. if you beat it or hit 30k lemme know and what ROM your using. thx

---

Can I still use the aroma addons package with the latest update? I'm on the mdk bootloader and I'm using a loki'd recovery.
Edit: read the OP! Looking forward to the new aroma installer!

I agree. The more options for Safestrap users, the better.

I get status 7 errors while installing using Philz latest and doing all wipes needed. Questions though abour installing. I'm scratching my head trying to figure out the OP n even the install instrucyions from within recovery. Ok so i tried the BB amd AB (thats Before Beer and After Beers) and same results both times. Do I need to flash A CZW kernel after install? ie Kronic KT? like i said i cant get it running and its Saturday night n I'm on 4 6% homebrews right now so i might need to do this in the morning. how do i get passed status 7, n no i wont switch to twrp but if needed i will gladly go to CWM

ok im gunna figure this out. i dont myself have philz i know the script from installer should work in twrp fine since thats safestrap but im checking on philz theres not still a "TWRP" mode or something in philz is there maybe that'd work otherwise gimme a day i'll check via a friends phone but I've used my script (fairly generic) on philz for tmobile before so i dont know why there would be a difference... i assume your a verizon mdk? as to the after install question I run it from stock obviously but your free to install any kernel this rom like all of the roms that are safestrap compatible should not flash a kernel. so your able to flash any of them you like I suggest your favorite but completely up to you. was designed to install and work with jamison's bioshock kernel 4 but that was removed of course and since verizon took my mdk when i warrantied it (damn near started on fire in pocket) n gave me an mj7 i havent had many other mdk phones in from customers either a lot of mk2 tho. my roms working for mdk are more based on various users accounts and their praise for the roms. i have 1 mdk tester that i will see if he was able to install this newest version fine or what his results were and if he'd mind running it through philz otherwise i'll hit phil up too quick... either way i'll PM you what to do next. you will have Nemesis promise just toss me a beer when i figure it out?

You got me beat so far. I got 29,654 on Duxter light just now. It seems to be getting a little faster each time so maybe it is getting settled in. 29,465 before that.
Duxter sure has a beautiful theme.....

Sorry about that I'm a flashaholic as well.
I don't blame you. It is easy enough, The only thing I see on mine is that when I reboot I always get" the Process.com.android.phone has stopped working" message a couple of times. It doesn't seem to affect anything that I can tell.
update: must have been something I deleted. Reinstalled the rom and all is good now. I found a theme from the samsung galaxy s4 international forum and they work with these roms. MAD is a good one. I installed it on Nemesis.
