Thnx I found the thread but now I ran into another problem.

My baseband version is i9505XXUDMH8 and the one from the thread is different does that mean I can't flash it.

And another problem is that I'm using GE ROM. My phone was touchwiz when I bought it.

Does that mean I can't flash the update?

Hi,

Sorry,I thought you had an i9505G phone.

So, you just have a normal i9505.

You therefore need to update it from the i9505 forum HERE

Remove tabs

Hello,

I just got a galaxy s4 and put Google Edition 4.3, I was looking for 4.4, but it is very unstable at this moment.

I want to know how to remove a tab from the main screen of version 4.3.

It has five tabs, and only one with icons.

When I touch and hold the screen, the options are just for changing the backgroud.

Just a quick question...

The Glass on My S4 broke but the screen works perfectly so it means that just the outer glass is broken & the Inside LCD is perfect Ryt ??

I dont wanna end up buying the LCD as well when it is not required... i have checked that the glass is cheap in Ebay the whole thing costs more than $200

Please let me know if the Screen works 100% then the LCD is fine Ryt ??
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarfall:
Hi,

My Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9505) is crashing, rebooting and then bootlooping. I'll try to explain my course of actions so far.

I was running stock TW on 4.3 after the update went live for the UK provider Three. I was really tired of the TW UI so I followed the Jamal method to install the Google Play Edition ROM with 4.4. Installed the kernel too. After 24 hours the device would crash, reboot and bootloop. To get out of these bootloops I would pull the battery out, wait 30 secs, wipe cache, dalvik and sometimes even data. Whenever I used the camera app, it crashed. I then dirty flashed to the stable version of CyanogenMod 10.2, but the same thing happened, camera app killed it and bootlooped. I then tried all the CM11 nightlies, but same thing happened. I finally flashed stock TW back, and thesame thing is happening. Crashing on the first seconds. I have tried removing the SD card, I have noticed that my battery is swelling (perhaps from pulling it out, don't know if this is causing the crashes).

How do I make my phone go into it's completely original state? If I can't get a ROM that stays on, at least I'd like a stable stock. :(

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karelka:
I found that OmniROM now supports the Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9505, jfltexx) and I'd like to use this ROM.

This is going to be my first custom ROM, so I spent quite some days figuring out how to install it. I installed CF-Auto-Root today. Then, I installed TWRP. Booting my phone in recovery mode, I'm getting the error "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing". I am able to boot up TWRP in spite of the error, but I'm afraid flashing the ROM won't work, as I got almost same message when I tried to flash OmniROM last time, but it then said "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" (this happened during my first attempt to flash the ROM, but I didn't root the device that time. Is it possible that it would've worked, had I rooted the device?).

I've also installed CWM recovery, but I got the same error. Again, I was able to boot up the recovery mode.

When I googled for this error, the main answer I got was that I should flash another ROM (or the stock ROM). But is the problem really the ROM? It is clearly indicated that the ROM is meant for the GS4 (LTE). Do you have any advice of what I could do to install OmniROM?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

As far as I know,this is just a message you get if you do not have a stock kernel/recovery.

It is also harmless.

So,carry on trying to install the ROM.

i am running jellybean right now and i like the looks of jelly, so i would want a custom rom look like stock but without bloatware and i want alot of extras (cpu clocks etc.) also i need 4g/lte option to be in network mode menu,

so wich is the best rom for me?

i know there are cyanogenmod 10.2 and omega v17 but are these the best or there are better ones out there???

Hi there,

Unfortunately "What is the best ROM (etc)" questions are not permitted and will generally always be answered in the same way. The best is what ever suits your needs, and to find this out you need to test them for yourself. What works for one may not work for another! ;):);)

There is a link in the OP (first post) to ROMs/Kernels:good:

Hi there,

The best advice I can give to this is to have a look round various sites and make you own decision as to what would be better for you.

Start HERE maybe ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi

The difference is simple, while one has a Snapdragon processor, the other has an Exynos one. If you want to seek for development i9505 is your option! But if you want better raw power then I'd go for i9500, however keep in mind that the difference among the two devices when it comes to power is almost zero, so if you don't mind having a non-developer phone both are great goes! If you want to say that you have an octa-core device, then go for i9500, if you want development go for i9505. Keep in mind that S4 GPE is based on i9505!!

yep you just need the glass (search for digitizer). if its the same as the S3, its a 20 minute fix if you know what you're doing (or an hour if you're slow and careful). on the S3 the only tricky part was the buttons were old on with adhesive tape, and you could damage the cables to them if you opened it bottom first (so start at the top of the phone, and follow the way they do it in whatever video you find)

They are still WIP at the moment,so,not 100% working.

Of course you can try them and install a custom ROM.

But you lose all the Samsung goodies.

That's where I was sketchy I guess, right so I can install in ODIN ZHUAME3 even though my phone is UAMDD and it wont brick it?

I am sure that you can flash the ROM with ODIN.

Uploaded Ringtone name changes to Hex...any way to remedy this?

Hello fellow "Notesters." I've noticed this happening in previous Android versions on my older devices and it is happening again with my rooted Note 3.
