[Galaxy S 4 General] pthacker85:
I think flashing roms recovery and kernels are all the same no matters if its a Samsung, LG or motorola. Try to flash your region stock rom or 4.3 google experience

I really want to know, bricked once

Guys,

In advance I apologize for my question. I am sure my answer can be found within the thread. But please understand that I bricked my S4 once by trying to root it with Clockwork. By that time I was in Holland and the S4 could be set back by a Samsung service point. Now I am on a Caribbean island without Samsung Service points :(

I want to root my S4, version I9505XXUBMGA. A few weeks ago Samsung offered a software update. This new update has been installed: kernel version 3.4.0-1081224.

Can someone advise me which rooting/recovery I need? I use Ubuntu as OS.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Yesterday i've flashed I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXXBMG3_I9505XXUBMGA_HOME.tar. everything was fine so i left it for charge overnight.

When i woke up phone was allready on that white first Samsung logo and it was vert hot.

I attempt several steps to repair this...

1. boot to recovery - no luck , stuck on white logo with recovery booting message.

2. boot to download mode - success

3. flash rom again - odin shows PASS message but issue remains.

4. Flash rom again with PIT - still no luck.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this???
[Galaxy S 4 General] cdzo72:
You never should've touched PIT

Look for a download of stock or some other recovery and flash it... boot into recovery and wipe data... cache and dalvik ....

Boot into download mode and flash ROM again with PDA
[Galaxy S 4 General] wholly1:
I used PIT with extra caution as last option.

;)

Your guide did not helped as well.

Not to worry I just got new one delivered.

Fact is tough this bug will drain me for while, I have not seen this kind of behaviour before.

I9505

Android 4.2.2

Baseband: I9505DXUDMH6

Kernel version: 3.4.0-1220396/ se.infra@S0210-06 #1

I have followed the instructions step by step from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2219803&nocache=1

and I did have root once (I rooted it as soon as I received my phone in September and Titanium backup worked then). But somehow in the past 3 months Titanium backup stopped working quoting no root access but my software update option from "about device" says I can't update since my phone was modified. I have tried to unroot and re-root the phone again following the same instructions and still cannot use Titanium backup.

Please help, I don't know what else I can do and I really want to back up my phone again!

Help! Stuck in bootloop and cannot access recovery :(

Hi guys, I need your help!

I was tired of battery drain and overheating of my SGS 4 i9500

so I rooted it and flashed OMEGA Custom ROM, it was better but no noticeable improvement,

Then i decided to flash A custom kernel so I found Adam Kernel today and flashed the latest v15 from cwm.

Unfortunately i forgot to wipe dalvik cache and others and proceeded to flash straightaway and rebooted.

It boots and gets stuck at the boot animation which keeps going on for a long time

So i pulled out the battery and tried to access recovery, but the Samsung Galaxy i9500 message keeps flashing when im holding the up volume key or down volume key, if i let go it continues to the boot animation where it gets stuck!

Im not sure how to proceed from here, please help me

My phone is almost out of warranty, so I decided it was time to root and install another firmware, but before the firmware I want to backup stuff.

From what I read the best way to root is using Towelroot (due to the knox issue), but my firmware version is not in his "tested" list, is it safe to use the tool?

If I upgrade to another firmware (after using towelroot), will I still modify the Knox counter?

Will Stock Android auto update to newer versions?

Hi,

I have a Galaxy S4 i9505 and it seems they put a lot of junk on that I don't want and sometimes it doesn't seem to be altogether stable. I was considering putting stock android on it, but I really don't know what I'm doing although I'm usually very careful when following instructions, so I think I can back up and root the phone etc once I find the right guides.

What I was wondering was that if I upgrade to stock android and newer versions of stock android come out, will they auto download like they do on my NEXUS 7, or do you have to manually install future versions of Android once you've rooted then phone?

Another question I had was which version of Stock OS is best to use, because I just want one that hasn't been messed around with and one I know can be trusted. I understand that Samsung released a pure Google Android version of the phone and was wondering if it's best to get that one to take advantage of specific hardware on the phone?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Its called bottom_bar/semc_bottom_bar_holo_dark/semc_bottom_bar_holo_light depending on your firmware.

The problem is that is controlled by the navigation buttons. The bigger the buttons the bigger the bar.

You could try making the image transparent.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dully79:
You dont delete it.

Open up framework-res,

pull out the image,

open it with an image editor,

set it to transparent or make an image that is transparent with the same name and dimensions and apply it.

There are plenty of guides around here how to apply things, there is one in the sgs2 section i created.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] PAVNEET101:
Thanks and how do u put back the file in the zip folder? After done editing it or just send me the link

Thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] juniorbryant:
thanks a lot dully :)

it was enough modify only "semc_bottom_bar_holo_dark.png" from black to transparent ;)

PAVNEET101

1. copy your framework-res.apk (system/framework/framework-res.apk) on your pc

2. change its extension from .apk to .zip

3. open it with, for example, winrar

4. search the image and exctract him

5. open the image with photoshop or paint.net and make it transparent

6. save it and replace in the zip file, the old image with the new image

7. change again the extension in .apk

8. copy and replace the file in system/framework/ (but first make a backup copy of original file ;) )

9. the smartphone will reboot, but don't worry... when it will turn on, there will be a perfect lockscreen ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] skifyr123:
Does the transparent image effect other apps? (ie, if apps use that image they might look bad). If not then it's great.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aukhan:
Hi All ,

As far as i have noticed that there is an additional sensor on top when compared to Samsung galaxy note 2

Now my question is what is that sensor what feature are related to it i am suspecting is could be the Eye control feature ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGXtreme:
The eye control features seem to rely on the front-facing camera like with the S3 and Note 2, while Air Gestures relies on some infrared sensor above the display. As for Floating Touch, I have no idea how that works, but Samsung mentioned it's down to some entirely new screen tech (maybe it's just what the Note 2 does with the s-pen set to detect fingers instead, or maybe it's something deeper).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strategist:
The S4 also has a thermometer and humidity sensor. It will be interesting to see how good they are and whether developers can up with interesting apps which use them.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGXtreme:
And a pedometer to add to that.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngenhit:
Research! before posting things.

Xperia sola had this feature months back. not this matured but fine.

It's called self induction. It's a capacitive panel which has a stronger field extending beyond the glass.

the primary mutual capacitive panel has a less range but more accurate field. Hence it supports multi touch.

So two capacitive panels under one sheet of glass. That is impressive. The air view , gestures can all be written on to this . It explains why samsung uses 'barely' everywhere it talks about air view. Because its capacitive.

Infrared or IR is way less controllable ( You will need a strip of it on either sides - with visible opening for one fact).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGXtreme:
Maybe you should take your own advice. There is no official information on how the Floating Touch works aside from Samsung saying it uses special screen technology. Here's a quote from GSMArena:

As for the Air Gestures, Samsung also said an IR sensor was used, and the sensor is clearly visible above the display alongside the front-facing camera and other sensors:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
quoted from gsmarena,all the mystery about new sensors are now cleared
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androguide.fr:
I believe the Air-Touch thingy is simply related to the touch-screen panel's sensitivity, or at least can be achieved this way.

I seem to recall that this was achieved a while ago in a cm-based ROM, on a device that doesn't ship with this kind of feature (like the Xperia Sola) by cranking-up the touchscreen sensitivity at kernel level, this way, it would have a detection range wider than the thickness of the glass that covers it, thus registering touch events even with the finger a few centimeters away from the screen.

EDIT: found the post, it was on Galaxy S Plus: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/floating-touch-on-the-samsung-galaxy-s-plus/

I'll however take a look at how the Samsung APIs handle this feature and if they rely on a specific sensor/set of sensors.

This might be worth investigating for my participation in the Samsung Smart App Challenge 2013.

[HTC Droid DNA] androidbuff123:
Guys. I recently exchanged my iPhone 5 for a droid DNA thru craigslist. I am coming to android after almost a year and I was hoping to root and install sense 5.0 roms. So after doing the swap at the verizon store and finally sitting in front of the computer to start the s-off and rooting process I discoverd after an hour of unsuccessful attempts that since I am running software version 2.0.65.xxx I won't be able to unlock or root. I got the phone with that software and from my past experience, just assumed that everything would work out.

Since there is quite of bit of topics and items involving this device, I just wanted to confirm my understanding that there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY to root the droid DNA if its running 2.0 version. Correct ?? No downgrading with an earlier RUU possible either. ... correct ?
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
At this point in time there is no way for you to root your device.
