Hi,

I belive the patcher isn't working correctly then. Can you try patching it manually? I've always patched them manually.

Hi,

Yes that's normal. ART features the Ahead-of-Time compilation, which will improve app performance, however to do it, the runtime must compile the apps in its installation, whenever you clear cache this compilation is lost, therefore it'll install again. You can try checking more about ART here:

I have rooted successfully with towelroot, disabled knox, and have no clue what I need to do to prepare for flashing custom roms. My previous phone was an at&t one x and was very simple to root, unlock bootloader, install recovery, and flash (with easy to understand detailed guide). I'm not sure about this one.

My device randomly reboots after flashing Kitkat

hi

my 9505 S4 randomly reboots itself after flashing a new stock rom.

at first, I had 4.2.2 rom with no problem until I flashed a 4.4.2 stock rom with base of XXUGNG2. Then rooted it with CF-Auto-Root and Super SU 2.0.1 and then disabled the knox afterwards with Titanium Backup but that's where my problem started. I don't know why my device randomly reboot itself. For extra information, I did such things to solve this problem without any result:

- factory reset

- wiping chche

- reflashed the same rom and then rooted it and disabled the knox again

- reflashed and rooted it again, but did not disabled the knox this time

- reflashed and rooted with Kingo Android ROOT program without disabling the knox

- update all possible apps that could be updated via Google Play (because some dude said it might help)

- flashed a NEW 4.4.2 rom with XXUGNG4 base and did the root and disable the knox thing again

- search in google for solution for almost 3 days

and that's it. this thread is my last hope of having KitKat on my phone.

the only thing that actually prevented my phone from rebooting randomly was to flashing the same rom without rooting it. But that's nothing I want. SO in summarize, I rooted 2 Kitkat roms and the root thing caused my phone to randomly reboot.

Oh, and one last thing, although I don't know if that's relevant to my main problem or not but after some flashes, I noticed my clock will reset to 3:30 after every reboot. I couldn't solve that either with 1 entire day of searching in google. so any help plz?

thank you in advance.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil Muir:
You are right! Knox Flag: 0x1. I stan corrected :) Don't mind though as still think it's worth tinckering with other ROMS such as Cyanogen. Talking of which, would probably run it if I didn't have the issue of no HDMI support. That's because of the All Cast-share Dongle. Am assuming that I couldn't simply push those apps to the phone or, install them through Root Explorer? That would be too easy wouldn't it? Just asking as got some kind of Google play error message when I tried to install the All-share Cast Dongle app from the play store after installing Cyanogen :)

You can reset the knox counter using:

did something wrong

im on i9506 with cwm recovery and dont have any backup files. I changed something in system folder and now i cant get past "samsung i9506" screen. I paniced and did format system and factory reset and still same problem....what should i do?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil Muir:
New motherboard. Yes, that would do it :) Not personally too concerned about this as read else where of someone returning a device to Samsung and in spite of the flash counter being triggered, Samsung still honoured the warranty :) It's rare that anything goes wrong with hardware anyway and if you happened to be running stock again and something went wrong then, it wouldn't be hard to argue with Samsung that the problem was on their end :)

Spoken to Samsung UK customer support and although they are very helpful people, found it slightly concerning that they couldn't tell me how to enable HD Voice on my phone. Even more concerning was when they asked me what it was and thought it may be in accessibility. Of course they were talking about the high quality .tts voices that ship with the Samsung.tts but, that wouldn't have helped me anyway :( Note: this phone was purchassed unlocked so you would have expected HD Voice to be enabled by default wouldn't you??? Samsung seem to be the only manufacturer who don't enable this by default. Not sure why :( Stil don't have it enabled and doubt very much that I will be able to get this done :(

Hmm. Two options. Either locate stock firmware from Sam Mobile and flash that in Odin or, put on a different ROM if you like such as CM11 which is Android 4.4.4. Note Cyanogen doesn't currently have HDMI support however, just sent the dev a link to a post and some files so that should be working soon :)

how to disable warning popups?

Hi guys

I've just switched back from a GE ROM to Imperium Rom, because I would like to try all these new S5 features.

I'm very satisfied, however there is something is starting to torment me: the warning popups ?. Whenever I activate (or deactivate) mobile data, flying mode ecc... A popup appear asking me if I'm sure of what i'm doing. Ofc I am!! But the most annoying thing is the popup that appear after I choose permanently an app to make an action (do you know when's u have multiple apps which can complete an action, and you have to choose one?), telling me how to disable the option.

Is there a way to disable them?? There is for sure an app or something that Samsung added to make these popups appear, but i can't find it. I already tried to freeze and app called "popupsreceiver", but it wasn't the solution.

Pls help, and apologize me for my bad English XD

Hi all,I'm hoping for some help before I brick my phone.

I have an S4 locked to Telus in Canada. In my settings, it says it is an SGH-1337M. Android version 4.3.

I fumbled my way through rooting my phone a while back mostly for performance and battery life. I did this a long time ago and don't remember of the process other than it was pretty quick. I started to worry about security for my phone so I tried to do a Samsung update. It didn't let me so I tried to unroot my phone. I played around and was able to unroot my phone (so I thought) but it turns out I cannot get software updates (your device has been modified. Software updates are not available). I don't know how I managed to get where I'm at now because I just went haywire trying a bunch of different things on my phone.

Now I cannot root it again, I tried the motochopper run program but it tells me it failed because the program is already installed but when I I run titanium back up or root checker they both tell me I'm not rooted.

Now I'm stuck...I can't do updates because my phone has been modified but yet I'm not rooted. I'd like to get either rooted or unrooted. My preferance would be rooted but either side of the fence would be nice.

I'm hoping someone here would like to help me out and steer me the right way. Thanks in advance for any input.

Hi,

Sorry, but I've never seen an app that can do that. I'm not a media expert, but ISO files are meant to be mounted, and then read. While media players will only load videos (like mp4 and mkv). So as far as I know, there's no app with mounting ISO and playing it function.

Hi,

Maybe a boot loader update isn't required, but modem it's surely important. Keep in mind that some 4.4.2 Touchwiz based ROM will require the latest boot loader, please check on the ROM you're trying thread to see if that's the case. If it isn't, just find a suitable modem.

Hi,

Please try another modem, the issues can be related. Also, check the thread for bugs.
