Well, I gave up yesterday after an hour or so. Once I realized that I didn't hear any sounds on the boot screens either, I knew it was a faulty speaker. An hour later I emerged from the Verizon store with a new working s4. They spent no less than 5 min examining it to make sure it wasn't dropped... quite annoying. Thanks for the tip though!

2- is there any carr game to play with bluetooth?

Try the Play Store

3- how to force sygic GPS to show our speed of movement for example when we are in carr?

Thy the Play Store. Search for "Speedometer GPS"

4- i have phoenix rom v5 base 4.3 for my 9505 , is there any need to use custom kernel?please give me a link

No. You do not have to use a custom kernel. You seem new to flashing ROM's. If so, hold off on Kernels for a while. Get used to messing with ROM settings and options. Until you get that down you don't notice the differences a new kernel makes.

5- it is a big bug that we can turn off the phone when the screen is locked with pattern , is there any app to avoid this?

I had no idea this was possible.

6- how to know that my rom is tochwiz or cyanojen mode?

Reboot the phone. What does the bootanimation say? Odds are it's touchwiz. If you didn't specificly install CyanogenMod, you don't have it.

Confused

Hello everyone. Sorry for dumb question, but I'm complete noob in this kind of things. I'm about to upgrade my sgs4 gt-i9500 from 4.2.2 to 4.3. I can't use official way of upgrading due to custom rom. I'm from UK, but there's no UK csc in Stock rom list. So I'm confused, which CSC should I use? Thank you in advance. Also later on, I'm planning to upgrade to KingCobra custom rom, so do I need any particular stock rom, so that KingCobra rom would flash without any troubles?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

If you are just going to update to custom ROM,why not go straight to that ROM?

If you have no signal problems at the moment,then , there is no reason to go back to stock in order to upgrade.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shindsu:
Probably, but current version of android on my phone is 4.2.2, though KingCobra rom requires 4.3. Unless I'm mistaking something. Also his guide had this line

If I understood this right, then if I'll just flash this custom rom it might get BOOTLOOPed

I'm from UK, but there's no firmware for UK. So my question is, do I need any particular stock firmware for this matter? And what region should I use if there's no region code for UK? Or does it matter at all which stock firmware will I use? Thank you for your patience and help.

Hey Guys!

I wonder if I can overwrite/flash a Slimbean 4.3 Gapps over PA 4.3 Gapps. I'm on Liquidsmooth ROM 2.37 and Chronic Kernel v2.3.3 AOSP 4.3. Reason doing this is that I can't playback a video while having the camera open on filmstrip view. It only works 1 time, but when I swipe to another video and try to play the video it just freezes for 7 seconds, and then it closes with a message that goes "Unfortunately, gallery has stopped working".

Q: Can I just flash the Slimbean Gapps over the PA Gapps without reflashing the whole ROM again? Cause I dont want to lose any data. :/

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
Both are good (like AOSP based Rom's are also working good), it's pure a matter of what you are looking for in a Rom.

If you want a ROM with everything included go for stock. If you want a the latest Android version and like to customize like you want it try CM or AOSP.

Make a nandroid and give the a try, you can always restore your old Rom if you like that better.

Noobie needs help S4 i9505

Hi guys. I recently flashed stock jellybean 4.3 on my S4 and am now hoping to re-root and install a new custom rom but would like a little help before I proceed.

I was using omega rom previously on 4.2 and enjoyed it so was hoping to install version 14 on my updated phone.

My problem is that I need to choose between one of the two tar files available dependant on whether I have the old bootloader XXUB or the new bootloader XXUD. Where do I find out which bootloader I have? My baseband version is i9505xxuemj7.

My second question is (sorry noobish!) can I install clockworkmod and then flash this pre-rooted rom or must I root before flashing clockworkmod and then install the rom?

If Im asking in the wrong section or am being a total noob I do apologise. I have only rooted once previously and came from years of 'ahem' apple iphone use:eek:
