I just flashed GE (kitkat) and I instantly notice a few flaws that makes me regret me switch from TW.

1. The Camera app. It has problems focusing and the pictures doesn't reach the same quality as the TW camera, it lacks photo modes as well.

2. The Gallery app doesn't show my Dropbox pictures, I loved the active sync that the TW gallery had with Dropbox.

Now I'm looking for a solution whether it's settings needed to be tweaked or apps/mods needed to be flashed.

I would love if there's a TW Gallery & Camera port for GE, thanks in advance!

Android 4.2.2 Phone number digits grouping problem

Hallo,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and my wife a Galaxy S4 mini. My phone has Android 4.3 and S4 mini Android 4.2.2. In my phone until I had Android 4.2.3 my phone number's digits (from Romania) were grouped like 07X XXX XXXX instead of correct one: 07XX XXX XXX. Now after Android update it is ok in the right format. But in my wife's phone it doesn't exist update for Android to 4.3 and it looks wrond the format. Where can I set to change to right format?

Unable to boot phone

Hi, I followed all the instructions and flashed Omega Rom v 19, however my phone is not booting up. It starts up, says Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 and then goes black.

I've tried twice now, with full wipe.

Before flashing I was successfully running Omega v 16 - with the correct modems, so that's not the issue.

It is still able to boot into recovery and Odin mode.

Please help, I'm nearly in tears!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
re: boot issue

When you done the complete wipe, did you include ALL of the following:

Wipe Data, Wipe System, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache and last but not least do a "Factory Reset"

in either cwm or twrp recovery?

If not I would start there, do a full wipe and then re-flash the Omega rom.

Most likely after doing that the phone will fully boot.

Good luck!

Ok try this, download TWRP custom recovery TAR file and flash it in download mode

using Odin's PDA slot/tab in your computer. (just like flashing an odin flash firmware)

When it's done let the phone boot, if it gets stuck then go back into recovery mode

and do the full wipe again including factory reset then flash the rom again.

Here is the direct download link for the Odin flash TWRP TAR file:

re: follow instructions

I should have asked you this in my first reply to you.

Before you flashed the rom which is not fully booting now did you follow these instructions

below exactly? If not, then that's your problem..................

Installation:

1. Flash the new bootloder and modems with odin

Bootloader -> BL_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5

Modems -> CP_I9505XXUFNA5_373648_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_C ERT.tar.md5

Power off the phone, then boot into download mode & flash the bootloader & modems with odin.

2. Boot into TWRP Recovery and flash Omega v21 then reboot the phone.

Be sure to do a full wipe again before starting to flash the rom.

Good luck!

I was actually only flashing an older version, Omega Rom V19.

For that version the instructions said:

If you are having the new bootloader XXUD flash GSM_Modem_XXUEMJ5_and_LTE_Modem_XXUEMJ5.tar file.

I am sure that I have this bootloader, as I was previously using Omega Rom V16, which had the same instructions.

Hi,

By improving I believe you mean getting more space. Unfortunately people here don't work with this, as the risk of bricking your device is very big when repartionating, and to increase the /data size would require this to be done. My recommendation is getting a large SD card, so you won't have to keep your data (photos, music, etc) on device, leaving this 9.13GB to apps and such ;).

Also with a large SD card and an app called FolderMount you are able to install your apps data in your external SD card ;).

Hi,

If you are okay with this modem then keep it, regarding your IMEI, I don't recall how some people fixed it, but if you search a little in the Q&A subforum you may find a solution :). Also, if you manage to restore it, make sure to backup your IMEI, so you will have an easier way to save yourself from problems like these.

re: FNA5 roms

All the custom roms here in XDA are only flashable using a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2283194 the name of this rom is WanamLite.

You will need a custom recovery in order to flash any custom roms here in XDA.

After flashing any custom roms found here in xda your phone will be automatically

rooted since all the custom roms here in xda are pre-rooted.

Here is the Odin flashable TWRP custom recovery direct download link:

About the Samsung screen, it might be that you've formatted /system. Not sure.
