Well as far as i know hoko has a matte screen protector and it has a very cheap quality,,,even molife has better protectors...

so if u r fine with changing protectors now and then and dont want much protection then u can try any of the protectors available at ur local market,,,cuz when u r talking about non-glass screen protectors i dont think buying some expensive branded protector is worth it,like spigen's etc,,cuz i have used them in the past,,they provide just a bit better screen quality and protection than your normal screen protector and doesnt last as long as u expect them to be,,and their price is relatively high,,

for ex spigen's ultra crystal is for like 1250 bucks,,,while its glass.t is worth 1750,,,so as u can see glass one is surely the better deal,,,

u can try anymode's or casemate's screen protector,,but again ,,they r not much better than the local ones,,,,

just remember to buy the glossy ones if u dont want to lessen ur screen quality much,,,but if u want to have less finger prints and less sticky-ness at the cost of some screen quality then go for a matte one..

well there is an app 'triangle away' on play store,,,,but u must have root,,,,,other than that i think usb jig is the only option...

EDIT: sorry i dont know if its working with i9500,,,,i guess that is what u were asking...
[Galaxy S 4 General] jithendra194:
Yup, that's what I was actually asking about. Does the triangle away app support our gs4 yet? And one more question, does the CF auto root work on MEA?

I'm using a matte screen protector n it ruins the screen quality.

If I take it off will it leave residue on the screen making it irritating to use?

Finally, rooted my phone. What special I can do now? I have enough experience with my s3 but there isn't development for s4. That's the reason I'm asking.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Paras Lehana:
Sure mate.

I ordered it from ebay via 'united.authentic.corps'. They're shipping it to India in just $ 1. 99! I couldn't find any site or seller giving this much low rate shipping plus UAC is 100% authentic. I even asked them the reason for this much low rate shipping costs. They messaged me that they provide shipping with high discount. :p

---------- Post added at 12:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

well it totally depends mate....i mean that is the problem with cheap/local screen protectors,,u cant be sure of anything,,,and it doesnt matter if its gloss or matte,,,it depends on the brand..i hope it doesnt leave a permanent residue,,,and it probably wont,,but i cant be 100 % sure,,,,

if u were using a molife one then i can be 99% sure that there wont be any problem.....cuz i mainly use molife ones on my lower end phones,,,,and they never gave me the residue problem,,,,
[Galaxy S 4 General] Paras Lehana:
Root needed. :(

I assume there's no app which can give me ability to customize the LED without root. I just want to customize it for apps like Facebook messenger.

PS: Started to feel that I should root my phone now.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Paras Lehana:

Okay guys, started feeling to root the device now.

We all know that the Exynos Variant of SGS4 has hidden binary counters. Well, for me having warranty is not worth leaving my system files restricted to use. :D

Do the hidden binary counters imply only that I can't reset it, right? With the USB JIG too?

And, like if we hard/soft brick our devices, we reflash the ROM or use a USB JIG. I can do the same with the GS4 too, right? I mean is there any other stuff that the binary counters would have affects on?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. :)

Thanks

Galaxy S4 not booting after Nova Install

Hi, I've installed Nova launcher from Play store on my Galaxy S4.

After install without doing any changes, I restarted my S4.

Now phone just shows samsung logo and does not proceed.

Its been more than 10 minutes, is this normal?

If not, how can I make my phone operational again?

Please help.
[Galaxy S 4 General] danveer:
Remove battery, restart again...

Not normal and it cannot be because of nova launcher..

If nothing works, just visit the service center
[Galaxy S 4 General] guitarmafia:
Yes i ordered it from powera's website only,,,my order is still in processing so cant tell u about extra charges,,,

And even if moga is not working with emulators i ll still go for it cuz i dont play those old emulator games with annoying graphics,,and moga has the best and largest support when it comes to modern games....

moreover u can always configure all the buttons with its app so i dont think u should have any probs with the emulators,,,

If u think mega pro is costly then go for the original moga,,,,u cant compare moga pro with ipega,,,ipega is in the league of the original moga,,,

I had original moga so i am looking forward to moga pro,,,I am all about accessories man(i just dont post here much),,,and trust me moga was better than any of those controllers,,,and according to reviews Moga pro is even better(xbox 360's controller like layout but more premium feel), which is all i want as those 2 were the only probs with moga or i would have never bought a single other controller,,,,
[Galaxy S 4 General] HS™:
I dont think is coz of nova launcher

Power off the device u go to recovery mode by Pressing

volume up / home button / power all together till samsung logo appears

then there u have a option wipe cache do that and reboot this should solve it no need of going to service centre for this

This is not normal behavior. Did you drop the phone or something? Also check for magnetic interference (e.g. large speakers next to the phone).

A trip to the service center is probably in order if the issue is recurrent. Tough.

Luckily my updated firmaware is still there :)

So what does this wipe cache do exactly?
[Galaxy S 4 General] guitarmafia:
Exactly..on s2 it was a different thing..but since that i dont think v need cm anymore..i mean it ll b like going to an inferior rom...mayb apart from a bit of extra battery life what else is better on cm..v ll lose a lot of functionality like mayb ir etc..and some features that many ppl call gimmics but i find them very useful..and to buy a device based on wethr it ll have cm or not doesnt seem very valid to me..i mean yeah more developer support is always gud..but if u r buying a device knowing it doesnt have a better rom already then its ur fault..

This is the partition where Android stores frequently accessed data and app components. Wiping the cache doesn’t effect your personal data but simply gets rid of the existing data there, which gets automatically rebuilt as you continue using the device.
