Ok kantjer,

Thanks for the response anyhow. I think I'm going to have to come to terms with the fact that you can't rely on manufacturer keyboards because they're subject to change. I'm trying to get to grips with Swype now. I think that's going to be my keyboard of choice. I have Swiftkey too, but once I've masted swipe on one keyboard, it'll be more or less the same for the others. Just a little annoyed that Samsung decided to remove it from the their input options on a whim with total disregard for their users.

Thanks

Philip

It should be a problem with the google edition rom. The nice stock Samsung camera should work fine. If there's no fix for the camera on google edition rom, and you can't do without it, stick to Touchwiz.

There's some good TW based custom 4.3 roms out here in the development forums. No lag, less bloatware compared to stock Touchwiz. I'm enjoying one of them right now. ;)

Hi everybody,

I just got a S4 LTE and immediately updated it all through to 4.3 (official German firmware). Then I imported a VCF export of the contacts from my old S2.

Some of my contacts have multiple numbers and in the vCard export/import process, the default selections settings were lost. But now I found out I cannot set them back manually in the S4, as when I long-press a number of a contact in my Contacts, I only get the options 'Delete' and 'Copy', but not 'Set as default' as was the case in S2 (4.1.2).

Is there a new way of setting this? Or is this a bug in the new 4.3 firmware?

Thanks.

Hi everyone, I'm Nick from Argentina and I want to install Android 4.3 on my device:

Hey,

Recently I've been thinking of putting the 4.3 stock rom onto my phone, but don't want to abandon the current version of touchwiz encase of issues. I heard about SafeStrap, but looking around there doesn't seem to be any sign of whether or not I can run it on my i9505, as the thread stats it's for the version GS4A. Could anyone confirm for me whether or not I'd be able to install it?

Thanks in advance for any responses!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tapiov:
Based on your description, I would say that you triggered the Samsung flash counter (not the Knox bit) when you rooted with CF-autoroot. Then you flashed stock 4.2.2 BUT you didn't run CF's Triangle Away which left the flash counter != 0. Then your OTAs are failing because device status (in Settings => About device => Status, last one) is Modified or the flash counter is !=0.

If you push 4.3 stock on this now, without doing TriangleAway and get Official device status, you're left with Modified device. If you re-root to run TA, you risk tripping Knox again (since you are 4.3).

You could try, if you still can, to use TA. This requires CF-autoroot first, so if you're already on Knox, your Knox warranty will be gone. I would urge you to be careful when working with this.

Hi,

If you update via OTA to 4.3 , then , you will be stuck on 4.3 because of the new bootloader.

If you root,and install a custom recovery,you can have a custom 4.3 without the knox bootloader.

Then, you will be able to downgrade to 4.2.2 whenever you want.

:)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmck2b:
Currently on a rooted version of an OTA from June, no KNOX or anything with Clockwork as my recovery, but I was hoping to use SafeStrap to have both 4.2.2 and 4.3 running incase of issues (of which I've been having a few annoyances recently).

Could you point me towards a 4.3 stock rom without KNOX? The only one I can see seems to be heavily modified.

Thanks again ^^

Hi,

Read the first post of the GE ROM.

It will say "NO knox bootloader" if that is the case.

If you OTA,you will almost certainly get the knox pox delivered.

It would be advisable to wait for the devs to remove the knox bootloader from 4.4 and , then , installing it.

Try changing CPU Governor. The problem is that due to the kernel setting the cpu is running at a low frequency and switching the screen on takes a few seconds because of this. Changing CPU Governor can make the cpu to scale up faster but at the cost of higher battery drain.

Beside that Samsung TW Rom's aren't the lighters around. I had a 4-5 second screen-turn-on delay at incoming call when using Samsung Rom's and no delay at all on AOSP with the same kernel settings.

TW 4.3 to GE 4.3 is it possible?

Hi all, I hope someone can help me?

My 9505 updated last night to 4.3 and brought some extra Bloatware (Thanks Samsung!), most notably a Samsung Wallet app and KNOX.

As of now, I have not downloaded the 171mb file that KNOX needs, so I have no idea if it is actually doing anything.

With the ever increasing list of bloat apps, and my ever decreasing need for them, I thought it was time to ditch the gimmicks and try the Google Edition ROM. I love the S4's hardware, expandable memory and swappable battery, but the bloatware is starting to push me towards the newly released N5.

If it's possible to safely root and and install the GE rom without bricking my device, I'll gladly do it (The warranty aspect doesn't bother me) but if there are issues and chances of bricking the device, I'll pop out today and buy the N5 and sell the S4 instead.

Can anyone advise me please?
